Veterans Memorial Coliseum Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Events

Your Guide to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum at Marion County Fairgrounds

The Veterans Memorial Coliseum is a historic multi-purpose arena in Marion County, hosting concerts, sports, and community events. Known for its intimate atmosphere and versatile layout, it offers a range of seating options to suit every preference and budget.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Lower Bowl (Sections 100-200): Closest to the action, ideal for concerts and sports. Slight angle ensures good visibility, but avoid rows too close to the stage for neck strain.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 300-400): Elevated views perfect for hockey or basketball. Higher rows may feel distant but provide a full-perspective sightline.
• Floor Seating: Reserved for major concerts or special events. Flat layout may obstruct views for shorter attendees unless elevated.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center sections (100s) near the soundboard for balanced audio.
• Sports: Mid-level sidelines (200s) to follow gameplay without craning.
• Family Shows: Aisle seats in lower rows for easy access and engagement.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Suites: Private boxes with catering and premium sightlines.
• ADA Seating: Wheelchair-accessible spots available on all levels with companion seats.

Pro Tips

Check the venue’s virtual view tool before booking. For budget-friendly options, upper corners still deliver clear views. Arrive early to navigate the compact concourse easily.
