Your Ultimate Guide to Seating at Memorial Coliseum

The University of Kentucky's Memorial Coliseum is a historic arena hosting basketball games, concerts, and special events. Known for its electric atmosphere, understanding the seating chart ensures you get the best experience. Here’s a breakdown of the layout, seat views, and tips for choosing the perfect spot.

Seating Chart Overview

• Lower Bowl (Sections 1-24): Closest to the action, ideal for basketball games. Rows A-F offer unobstructed views, but higher rows may have slight overhang obstructions.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 201-224): Elevated perspective, great for seeing plays develop. Avoid seats behind the basket for a straighter view.
• Courtside & VIP Seating: Premium seats with exclusive amenities, including padded chairs and concessions access.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Basketball: Sections 12-14 (mid-court) for balanced views. Avoid corners (Sections 5, 20) for less angled sightlines.
• Concerts: Floor seats or lower bowl center (Sections 10-14) for direct stage views. Upper bowl side sections (205-215) offer budget-friendly options.
