NOVA PDX Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Every Event

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Portland’s Premier Arena

NOVA PDX is Portland’s top-tier venue for concerts, sports, and live events, offering a dynamic experience with its modern design and versatile seating. Whether you’re here for a rock concert, basketball game, or comedy show, understanding the seating chart ensures you get the best view for your budget.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Floor Seats: Unbeatable proximity for concerts (no elevation) but may have obstructed sightlines for sports.
• Lower Bowl (100s): Ideal balance of closeness and elevation, with center sections offering the best angles.
• Upper Bowl (200s): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view, though distant for detail-heavy events.
• End Zones: Great for sports fans but may have skewed stage views for concerts.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center floor or lower bowl (Sections 101-108) for direct stage sightlines.
• Sports: Mid-level sidelines (Sections 110-118) to follow gameplay without neck strain.
• Family Shows: Upper bowl aisles (near exits) for easy access and affordability.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private lounges, catering, and premium sightlines—perfect for corporate events.
• ADA Seating: Wheelchair-accessible spots in every tier, with companion seats.
• Club Seats: Extra legroom, in-seat service, and exclusive entrances.

Pro Tips

Avoid seats behind stage overhangs (check venue maps). For concerts, prioritize center sections over side views. Use NOVA PDX’s virtual seat viewer (on their website) to preview your sightline before buying.
