Best Seats for the PBR Team Series at Bridgestone Arena
Choosing the right seats can make your PBR Team Series Bridgestone Arena experience even better. For the best combination of action and visibility, choose seats along the sides of the arena rather than directly behind the chutes. Lower-level center sections provide an excellent view of every ride, while the Club Level offers a slightly elevated perspective that makes it easy to follow both the rider and the bull throughout the competition. For the best view of every ride, look for seats in:
- Sections 103–105
- Sections 115–117
- Lower Bowl Center
- Club Level Center
These sections provide an elevated angle that lets you follow both the rider and the bull throughout each ride.
Insider Tips
If you’re sitting near the chutes, expect plenty of dust and a much louder experience than most arena events. Many longtime fans prefer the lower bowl around midcourt for the best balance of excitement and visibility.
- Arrive at least one hour before the event begins.
- Parking garages around Broadway fill quickly during PBR weekend.
- Wear boots if you want to fit in—but they’re not required.
- Concession lines are shortest early in the event and during the rides rather than between rounds.
- The pre-event atmosphere around Lower Broadway is lively before each session.
- Bags must comply with Bridgestone Arena’s current bag policy
Parking Section
Parking is available in several garages surrounding Bridgestone Arena, but the closest lots often fill before the Saturday evening session. If you’re arriving less than an hour before the event, expect to park a few blocks away.
