Under The Big Top! Franklin County Fairgrounds - NY Seating Chart & Seat Views

Your Guide to the Best Seats at This Iconic Venue

The Under The Big Top! at Franklin County Fairgrounds is a beloved NY venue hosting fairs, concerts, and rodeos. Its circular layout ensures an intimate experience, but seat choice matters. Here’s how to navigate the seating chart for the best views.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Front Row (Sections A-B): Unbeatable closeness to performers but may lack elevation for full-stage visibility.
• Middle Bowl (Sections C-E): Balanced sightlines—ideal for most events. Slight angle ensures clear stage views.
• Upper Sections (F-G): Budget-friendly with panoramic views, though distant for detail-heavy acts.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Middle bowl (Section D) avoids sound distortion near speakers.
• Rodeos: Front rows (A-B) for dirt-level action or upper sections (F-G) to track all arenas.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Center-located with premium amenities and dedicated entry.
• Accessible Seating: Ramps and designated platforms in Sections C/D. Request early for best placement.

Pro Tips

• Check for tent poles (rare) in upper sections that may block sightlines.
• For evening events, west-side seats avoid sunset glare.
