TicketHold | Freedom Hall At Kentucky State Fair Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Freedom Hall

Freedom Hall at the Kentucky State Fair is a historic multi-purpose arena in Louisville, hosting concerts, sports, and events since 1956. With a capacity of 18,000+, its versatile layout offers diverse seating options. Here’s how to navigate the seating chart for the best experience.

Freedom Hall Seating Chart Breakdown

  • Lower Bowl (Sections 101–134): Closest to the action, ideal for concerts and basketball. Center sections (110–122) offer unobstructed views, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.
  • Upper Bowl (Sections 201–234): Elevated views at budget-friendly prices. Avoid rear rows for reduced visibility. Great for panoramic sightlines at rodeos or motorsports.
  • Floor Seating: Temporary setup for concerts. Rows A–F are premium but may lack elevation; rows further back could have obstructed views if not tiered.

Best Seats by Event Type

  • Concerts: Sections 110–122 (Rows 1–15) for direct stage sightlines. Avoid extreme side sections (101–109, 123–134) for skewed views.
  • Basketball: Mid-court Lower Bowl (Sections 115–119) for balanced perspectives. Upper Bowl center sections (215–219) are cost-effective alternatives.
  • Family Shows: Upper Bowl front rows (Rows 1–5 in 200s) for affordability + clear visibility.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Suites: Private boxes with catering; ideal for groups. Located between Lower/Upper bowls.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in all levels. Request companion seats when booking.

Pro Tips

  • Use TicketHold’s interactive seat maps to preview your view.
  • For concerts, check stage configuration—end-stage setups favor center sections.
  • Arrive early to navigate the arena’s retro layout efficiently.
