Best Places to Sit at the American Airlines Center

Floor seats are a top pick for American Airlines Center concerts – especially if you'd like to to be as close to the stage as possible. Sections 106 and 119 offer a less expensive alternative to floor seats while still having a great view of the age, albeit from the side. And Sections 112 and 113 offer a straight-ahead view of the stage and are slightly elevated to give you a great view of everything. 

For American Airlines Center sports events, there’s nothing like sitting center court (or center ice) in Sections 106, 107, 118, and 119. These seats will get you as close to the action as possible. However, Sections 208-211 and 216-219 offer a great alternative – they're in the middle of the arena, but because they're slightly elevated, you’ll be able to see the entire playing surface without a problem. Some seats in Sections 208-211 also have access to in-seat wait service and a lounge area.

 

Tips for Visiting American Airlines Center

If you have time to kill before your next American Airlines Center event, spend some time beforehand at AT&T Plaza, located just outside the arena. It’s a lovely outdoor area with plenty of space and a large video board, making it a great spot to hang out before you head inside for the game or concert.

 

Food to Try at American Airlines Center

There's an almost endless list of food options at American Airlines Center, although a few of them stand out from the rest. Big Dawgs is the place to go for hot dogs, including the Southern Dawg, which features bacon and crispy onions. If burgers are more your speed, the Grill Zone is your spot, as they feature half-pound cheeseburgers as well as a tasty veggie burger. Finally, there's the Stampede Section, which serves meatballs spiced in different ways, including Thai, Mexican, and classic Italian. Yum!
