Where to Sit

Seating Map

Four tiers. Each one distinct. Here's how to read the room.

UPPER BOWL — 200s LOWER BOWL — 100s FLOOR / COURTSIDE COURT
Tier Breakdown
01
Upper Level — 200s
Compact footprint works in your favour. Upper deck sightlines are tighter than most arenas — and the full-court view reads cleanly.
02
Lower Bowl — 100s
The optimal tier for most visits. Close enough to feel the pace, elevated enough to hold the whole floor in frame.
03
Charter / Club Level
Wider seats, lounge access, upgraded service. The strongest premium-value tier on any regular-season night.
04
Floor & Courtside
As close as it gets. Limited, request-based inventory — moves fast on marquee dates.

Best Value

200s — Corner & Baseline

Steep rake, compact bowl. The upper deck at Frost Bank Center is closer than it looks — and the full floor view reads cleanly from every angle.

Best Sightline

100-Level Sideline

Enough proximity to read every play, enough elevation for context. Right for most groups, most occasions.

Best Premium

Club Level or Courtside

Club delivers comfort without the scarcity of floor inventory. Courtside is for milestone occasions — request early.

Request premium access
Premium Access

Suites & Premium Areas

Premium inventory moves fast on marquee nights. The earlier the request, the stronger the options.

Club level is the most compelling choice for most regular-season visits — comfort and access without the scarcity of courtside or suite inventory.

Frost Bank Center — charter / club level
Recommended Tier
Charter / Club Level
Elevated sightlines, lounge access, and a level of service that transforms a good game into a complete evening. For regular-season visits, this is consistently where value and experience converge.
Frost Bank Center — courtside
Courtside
Floor level. No distance between you and the game. Limited inventory, request-only — worth it for the right occasion.
Frost Bank Center — 100 level
100-Level Prime Sections
Strong angles, real proximity, genuine energy. The right call for most groups on most nights.

FAQ

Common Questions

First-time visitor answers, plainly stated.

Yes — fully enclosed and climate-controlled year-round. Heat is only a factor during outdoor queuing and post-game pickup.

The 100-level sideline is the strongest all-around tier — proximity and context in equal measure. For value-focused groups, upper bowl corners hold up well in a compact arena.

45–60 minutes on a standard night. Add a meaningful buffer for sold-out or playoff dates — security and parking move faster than expected, and the arena is better experienced without the rush.

Yes — but availability is date-specific and courtside inventory is thin on marquee nights. Early requests give us the most to work with.
