Your Ultimate Guide to Navigating the Hearnes Center

The Hearnes Center, a premier multi-purpose arena in Columbia, Missouri, hosts concerts, sports events, and graduations. Known for its versatile layout, understanding its seating chart ensures the best experience. Here’s a breakdown of seating options, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect spot.

Seating Chart Overview

• Lower Bowl (Sections 100-200): Closest to the action, ideal for concerts and basketball games. Slight angle may cause neck strain in front rows.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 300-400): Elevated views for a full-perspective experience, but farther from the stage/court.
• Floor Seating: Flat layout for concerts; unobstructed views if seated centrally, but side sections may have limited sightlines.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Sections 100-150 (mid-level) balance proximity and view angles. Avoid extreme side seats near stage wings.
• Sports: Rows 5-15 in lower bowl for player visibility. Upper bowl center (Sections 300-350) offers panoramic views.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private lounges with catering; best for groups. Located mid-level for optimal sightlines.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in all levels; companion seats available. Contact box office for arrangements.

Pro Tips

• Use 3D seat maps (via TicketHold) to preview your view.
• For budget options, upper bowl center rows provide great value.
• Check for obstructed views (e.g., railings, overhangs) before booking.
