Best Seats at T-Mobile Arena — Section by Section Guide

A local's guide to every section at T-Mobile Arena — the best seats for hockey, UFC, boxing, concerts, and how to avoid the bad ones.

T-Mobile Arena is the beating heart of Las Vegas sports and entertainment. Home to the Golden Knights, host of championship boxing and UFC events, and a top-tier concert venue — knowing where to sit can make or break your experience.

Venue Overview

T-Mobile Arena holds approximately 20,000 for concerts and 17,500 for hockey. The seating is divided into:

  • •**Floor / Ice Level** — Sections 1-20 (configuration varies by event)
  • •**Lower Bowl** — Sections 101-120
  • •**Club Level** — Sections 201-220
  • •**Upper Bowl** — Sections 301-320

For Golden Knights Hockey

Best Sections

  • •**Sections 101-105 and 116-120** — Center ice, lower bowl. The holy grail for hockey viewing. You can see every play develop and the glass provides zero obstruction.
  • •**Sections 104 and 119** — Closest to the player tunnel. Great for pre-game warm-ups and the electric entrance.

Best Value

  • •**Sections 301-305 and 316-320** — Upper bowl center ice. Surprisingly great views because you can see the entire ice surface. The atmosphere in the upper deck during playoffs is unmatched.

Avoid

  • •**Sections 108-109 and 113-114** — Behind the goals. You'll miss action at the far end and the glass causes glare.

For UFC / Boxing

Best Sections

  • •**Floor sections** — If you can afford ringside or floor seats, the energy is electric. You'll feel every punch.
  • •**Sections 101-105** — Lower bowl, close to the cage/ring. The big screens are easily visible from here.

Best Value

  • •**Sections 201-205** — Club level gives you an elevated view of the entire cage/ring with excellent sightlines. Plus club level has better food and drink options.

Avoid

  • •**Upper bowl corners** (Sections 306-308, 313-315) — You're far from the action and the viewing angle for combat sports isn't great.

For Concerts

Concert configurations vary significantly depending on the artist and stage design. However, some general rules apply:

End-Stage Setup (Most Common)

  • •**Floor sections closest to the stage** — Obviously the best energy, but can be obstructed by the crowd and sound equipment
  • •**Sections 101-104** — Lower bowl, side of stage. Close, elevated view, great sound
  • •**Sections 116-120** — Same as above, opposite side
  • •**Avoid extreme floor sections at the back** — You're on the floor but far from the stage, and the sound can be muddy

Center-Stage / In-The-Round

  • •**Floor seats in any direction are excellent** — The artist rotates around the stage
  • •**Lower bowl center sections** — You'll see the artist when they face your direction and have a great view of the full production

General Tips

  • •1. **Even-numbered sections are on the Strip side**, odd-numbered are on the non-Strip side. This matters for your post-show walk.
  • •2. **Club level (200s) always has the best food and drink access** — worth the premium if you plan to eat and drink at the venue.
  • •3. **Row 1 in any section isn't always best** — In the lower bowl, rows 5-10 often have better sightlines because of the slight elevation.
  • •4. **Aisle seats** give you more legroom and easier bathroom/food runs. Worth requesting if available.
  • •5. **The Toshiba Plaza entrance** (east side) typically has shorter lines than the main Strip entrance.

Parking

Park at **New York-New York** or **Park MGM** garages — both are connected via The Park outdoor dining district. The walk to T-Mobile Arena is pleasant and only 5-10 minutes.

Rideshare drop-off is at the **Toshiba Plaza** on the east side of the arena.
