Best Seats for Different Events

• Family-Friendly: Upper Bowl center (Sections 215-218) for affordability and clear sightlines.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Lower Bowl rows 1-5 may have glass obstructions for hockey. Upper Bowl back rows (e.g., 20+) feel distant but offer panoramic views. Check stage setups for concerts, as side sections may face partial obstructions.
