* **Side Sections:** Sections closest to the stage on the sides (such as 105 and 117) offer the closest proximity to the artist but feature an angled side view. * **Rear Sections:** Sections directly opposite the stage (such as 101 and 124) provide a straight-on view of the entire production and soundboard, though they are the maximum distance from the stage. ### Center-Stage Setup Some artists perform on a circular or square stage positioned directly in the center of the arena floor, often referred to as "in-the-round." * In this configuration, the floor area is arranged entirely around the central stage. * All lower and upper bowl sections are open, offering 360-degree views. While every seat is closer to the stage than in an end-stage setup, the artist will face different directions throughout the performance. ## Decoding the Seating Levels
The Golden 1 Center is divided into distinct tiers. Knowing how these levels are structured makes it easier to navigate the seating chart. ### The Floor Level The floor is the lowest level, level with the stage. It is typically designated as "FLR" or "Floor" on ticketing maps. * **General Admission (GA):** Many concerts feature a GA floor, which means there are no physical seats. Ticket holders stand on a first-come, first-served basis. * **Reserved Floor Seating:** For other shows, the floor is divided into numbered sections (e.g., Floor 1, Floor 2, Floor 3). Rows are typically lettered, starting with Row A closest to the stage. ### Lower Bowl (100-Level) The lower bowl consists of sections numbered from 101 to 124. These seats are elevated above the floor level and slope upward. They offer an excellent balance of proximity and elevation, providing a clear line of sight over the floor crowd.
### Luxury Suites and Loft Levels Located between the 100-level and 200-level sections are the premium seating areas, including luxury suites and loft spaces. These areas are clearly marked on the seating chart and offer specialized amenities. ### Upper Bowl (200-Level) The upper bowl features sections numbered from 201 to 224. These seats are the highest in the arena. While they are the furthest from the stage, they are often the most budget-friendly options and offer a complete view of the arena's visual production. ## Navigating Rows and Seat Numbers Once you identify your section, you need to understand how rows and individual seats are arranged.
* **Row Lettering:** In most sections of the Golden 1 Center, rows are labeled alphabetically. Row A is typically the closest to the floor, followed by B, C, and so on. In the upper bowl, rows also start with letters, but the depth of the section determines how far back the rows extend. * **Seat Numbering:** Seat numbers run sequentially across each row. When facing the stage from your section, Seat 1 is generally located on the right side of the row. As you move to the left, the seat numbers increase. Knowing this helps you determine if your seat is closer to the aisle or the center of the section. ## Tips for Verifying Your View Because stage designs, catwalks, and sound mixing booths can obstruct views, it is important to verify your specific seat before purchasing. * **Check for Obstructed Views:** Seating charts often label specific sections or seats as "Obstructed View" or "Side Stage." This usually means a speaker column, lighting rig, or the stage structure itself partially blocks the line of sight. * **Use Official Interactive Maps:** Always refer to the official ticketing partner for the specific event. Interactive maps allow you to zoom in on individual sections and often provide a simulated view from the selected row.
## Accessing Related Event and Memorial Listings For certain memorial events or historical listings associated with community partners or venue history, the official All Obituaries page has a partial or full name search. * Listings can be browsed by month to locate specific dates. * Listings can be filtered by the first letter of the last name for quicker navigation. * Individual pages can contain an obituary, service information, tribute options, and flower links. * Keep in mind that the availability of older records is not guaranteed, so it is best to verify details through official sources when researching past events.
