Moda Center at the Rose Quarter Seating Options

Seating arrangements adapt to the event format, with options spanning multiple levels.

Floor Seats

Floor seats are located directly on the arena floor in front of the stage for concerts or around the court for basketball games. For concerts, these provide the closest possible proximity to performers, often in a standing or seated arrangement depending on the event setup. Floor seating delivers an immersive experience with direct sightlines and intense energy, though views may be partially obstructed for taller attendees if standing sections are present. For Trail Blazers games, floor seats are typically premium and courtside-adjacent.

Bowl Level Seats

Bowl level seats refer to the main lower and upper bowl sections (100 and 300 levels) that form the core of the arena’s seating. Lower bowl seats (100 level) offer excellent proximity to the action, with good sightlines for both concerts and games. Upper bowl seats (300 level) provide more affordable options with elevated panoramic views of the entire floor or stage, ideal for following overall play or performance dynamics. These sections are permanent and tiered for unobstructed viewing.

Courtside Seats

Courtside seats are premium floor-level positions immediately adjacent to the basketball court during Trail Blazers games. Located in the front rows of the 100 level near the sidelines, these seats offer the closest views of player interactions, bench activity, and game action. They are among the most expensive and sought-after options, often including additional perks such as access to exclusive lounges or in-seat service for season ticket holders or premium purchasers.

Club Level

Club level seating occupies the 200 level, providing an elevated mid-tier perspective with enhanced comfort and amenities. These padded seats offer excellent sightlines for both concerts and basketball, along with access to private club lounges featuring premium food and beverage options, private bars, and dedicated restrooms. Club level sections (typically 201–220 range) deliver a balance of proximity and exclusivity, with many positions benefiting from quicker concession access and a more relaxed environment.
