Your Complete Guide to Seating at the Houghton County Fairgrounds

The Houghton County Fair is a beloved annual event featuring concerts, rodeos, and exhibitions. The fairgrounds' main arena offers a mix of grandstand seating, general admission, and VIP options. Understanding the seating chart ensures you get the best experience for your budget and preferences.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Grandstand Seating: Covered bleachers with clear views of the stage or arena. Center sections offer the best sightlines, while side sections may have slight angles.
• Track/Floor Seating: Closest to the action for concerts but may have obstructed views during rodeos or livestock events.
• General Admission: Affordable open seating on grassy areas or bleachers—arrive early for prime spots.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Center grandstand (rows 5–15) balances proximity and elevation.
• Rodeos: Front rows along the rails for immersive action or higher rows for a full arena view.
• Family Shows: Mid-level grandstand seats provide easy access to exits and concessions.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower sections near the track may have limited visibility due to barriers or equipment. Upper grandstand seats offer panoramic views but can feel distant. Check for obstructed seats marked on the interactive chart.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private seating with premium sightlines and amenities.
• Accessible Seating: Designated areas with companion seats—reserve in advance.

Tips for Choosing Seats
