Pan American Center Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Every Event

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Las Cruces’ Premier Arena

The Pan American Center, home to New Mexico State Aggies basketball and host to major concerts and events, offers a dynamic seating experience. With a capacity of 12,500+, this multi-purpose arena provides diverse seating options to suit every budget and preference. Here’s how to navigate its layout for the best views.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Lower Bowl (Sections 101-124): Closest to the action, ideal for basketball games and concerts. Rows A-F offer unparalleled proximity but may have limited elevation for court/stage visibility.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 201-224): Elevated views perfect for seeing full-court plays or stage production. Center sections (210-216) provide the best sightlines.
• Floor Seating: For concerts, temporary floor sections deliver an immersive experience—though taller attendees may obstruct views in rear rows.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Basketball: Sections 112-114 (mid-court) for balanced views. Avoid corners (104/121) for distorted angles.
• Concerts: Sections 107-109 or 117-119 for direct stage sightlines. Upper-center sections offer panoramic production views.

VIP & Accessibility

• Club Seats: Mid-level sections with premium amenities and private entrances.
• Suites: Luxury boxes with catering options, ideal for groups.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in all levels; request early for optimal placement.

Pro Tips

Use 3D seat maps when booking online, check for overhang obstructions in upper rows, and consider aisle seats for easy access. For budget-friendly options, upper-center sections often deliver the best value.
