Seating Information
PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA is a state-of-the-art 18,387-capacity arena that hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins as well as major concerts and events. The seating is arranged across three main levels.
- 100 Level (Lower Bowl): The closest seats to the ice or stage. Sections 101–120 near center offer the best sightlines for both sports and concerts. These are the premium seats for an up-close experience.
- 200 Level (Club/Mezzanine): Premium seating with additional amenities including the Lexus Club, F.N.B. Club, and other club-level lounges. Great views with added comfort.
- 300 Level (Upper Deck): Budget-friendly seats with surprisingly clear views of the action. Standing-room spots along the upper concourse are also available.
Best sections: Lower bowl center sections (101–120) for concerts; club-level for comfort. Sections to avoid: End-zone corners in the upper deck for stage events may have partially obstructed views. We recommend checking the seating chart for your specific event.
