The Den PDX Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Spots for Every Event

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

The Den PDX is Portland’s top destination for concerts, sports, and live entertainment, offering an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere. With a capacity of 12,000, it balances energy and comfort, making every event memorable. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the best seats.

Seating Chart Overview

Lower Bowl (Sections 101–124): Closest to the action, ideal for concerts and sports. Rows A–F are premium but may have obstructed views if too close to the stage. Mid-rows (G–M) offer the best sightlines.

Upper Bowl (Sections 201–224): Elevated perspective, great for panoramic views. Budget-friendly but steeper angles. Avoid back rows (P–T) for vertigo-sensitive guests.

Floor Seats: General admission or reserved rows for concerts. Standing room only at some events—arrive early for front spots.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center sections (112–114 or 212–214) for balanced sound and views. Avoid extreme side sections (101/124) near speaker stacks.
• Basketball: Sideline seats (Sections 106–118) near midcourt. Baseline sections (101/124) offer cheaper options but angled views.
• Family Shows: Upper bowl front rows (A–D) for easy exits and affordability.

VIP & Accessibility

The Den PDX features luxury suites with catering and private restrooms, plus VIP club seats (Sections C1–C4) offering premium sightlines and lounge access. Accessible seating is available on all levels, with companion seats and elevator access.

Pro Tips

• Use the arena’s virtual view tool to preview your seat.
• For budget tickets, check upper bowl corners (Sections 203/222)—often underpriced for their views.
• Concert-goers: Avoid floor seats if you prefer sitting; opt for lower bowl risers instead.
