Oakland Coliseum Seating Chart, Oakland Athletics. 

Oakland Coliseum has changed names more times than one could count over the years. The stadium is currently known as RingCentral Coliseum. But to Oakland Athletics fans, it will forever be known as “The Coliseum”. Many consider Oakland Coliseum to be the worst and most outdated stadium in Major League Baseball. Nevertheless, the stadium has a ton of history, and a passionate fan base that help provide a much different experience than what can be found at Oracle Park across the bay. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Oakland Coliseum seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Oakland Athletics tickets.

Marlins Park Seating Chart, Miami Marlins 

Marlins Park is perhaps the quirkiest stadium in Major League Baseball. The venue could accurately be described as a comfortable and modern ballpark that lacks a passionate fan base. Marlins Park does sellout when more popular visiting teams are in town. Nevertheless, the new ownership group have quickly improved the atmosphere at the stadium, and Marlins Park is an excellent place to see a professional baseball game. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Marlins Park seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Miami Marlins tickets.

Kauffman Stadium Seating Chart, Kansas City Royals. 

Kauffman Stadium, with it’s beautiful water fountains, outfield entertainment, on-site Hall of Fame, tailgating scene, and crown-shaped scoreboard, is a one-of-a-kind stadium in one of America’s most underrated cities. The new Kansas City Royals owner is entertaining the idea of building a new stadium in downtown Kansas City. We are especially biased towards this ballpark, and hope the Kansas City Royals preserve Kauffman Stadium for years to come. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Kauffman Stadium seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Kansas City Royals tickets.

Angel Stadium of Anaheim Seating Chart, Los Angeles Angels. 

Any kid that grew up watching the Disney movie “Angels in the Outfield” will feel nostalgic about Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The ballpark is one of the oldest stadiums in Major League Baseball, and was recently purchased by a group led by Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno. Moreno may decide to preserve Angel Stadium like the Chicago Cubs have done with Wrigley Field. The Angels organization may also choose to build a brand new stadium on the site featuring all of the new bells and whistles. No matter the outcome, Angel Stadium of Anaheim is an excellent place to see a professional baseball game, and has excellent proximity to Disneyland. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Angel Stadium of Anaheim seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Los Angeles Angels tickets.

Citizens Bank Park Seating Chart, Philadelphia Phillies. 

Citizens Bank Park has been home to Major League Baseball's Philadelphia Phillies since 2004, and is located within the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.

Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Citizens Bank Park seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Philadelphia Phillies tickets.

Nationals Park Seating Chart, Washington Nationals.

Nationals Park isn’t a baseball stadium that dominates the Major League Baseball headlines nearly as much as venues like Fenway Park, and Wrigley Field. In fact, Nationals Park isn't even considered the best stadium in it’s region with Oriole Park at Camden Yards in such close proximity. Nevertheless, Nationals Park is one of the most friendly and modern ballparks in Major League Baseball. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Nationals Park seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Washington Nationals tickets.

Citi Field Seating Chart, New York Mets. 

Citi Field may not be the most popular Major League Baseball stadium in New York City. However, the venue provides a much more intimate experience for baseball fans than nearby Yankee Stadium. On the other hand, you’ll also have long-time New York Mets fans that would have loved to have seen Shea Stadium (former home of the New York Mets) preserved like Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The fact remains that Shea Stadium left much to be desired in terms of premium seating options that cater to New York City area businesses and corporations. Additionally, the New York Mets also wanted to compete with the New York Yankees who were building a brand new Yankee Stadium. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Citi Field seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their New York Mets tickets.

Barclays Center Seating Chart, Brooklyn Nets 

The Barclays Center has been home to the Brooklyn Nets and New York Islanders since 2012. The Barclays Center is an excellent venue for professional basketball.

Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Barclays Center seating chart to help basketball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Brooklyn Nets tickets.

Golden 1 Center Seating Chart, Sacramento Kings

The Golden 1 Center has been home to the Sacramento Kings since 2016.

In fact, the prospect of the Kings once again relocating to another city seemed likely. That is, until plans for the construction of the Golden 1 Center were solidified. 

Fiserv Forum Seating Chart, Milwaukee Bucks 

Fiserv Forum is one of the newest arenas in the NBA, and replaced the aging BMO Harris Bradley Center. The Bradley Center was a venue many basketball fans considered to be the worst arena in the league. Although Milwaukee is one of the NBA’s smallest markets, there is nothing small market about Fiserv Forum. Especially following the construction of the adjacent “Deer District”, a mixed-use development featuring bars, restaurants, and retail. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Fiserv Forum seating chart to help basketball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Milwaukee Bucks tickets.

Smoothie King Center Seating Chart, New Orleans Pelicans

The Smoothie King Center (formerly known as New Orleans Arena) may not dominate the NBA headlines like famous venues such as Madison Square Garden, or the Staples Center. After all, the New Orleans Pelicans do play in one of the NBA’s smallest markets. However, with such close proximity to Bourbon Street and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the Smoothie King Center would easily become a memorable part of a road trip to “The Big Easy”. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Smoothie King Center seating chart to help basketball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their New Orleans Pelicans tickets.

Nearly all of the personal seat licenses (PSL) for Allegiant Stadium (future home of the Las Vegas Raidershave been purchased; netting roughly $400 million for the franchise. A personal seat license is a one-time expense that enables an individual to purchase a season ticket. If an individual does not honor their season ticket agreement with the team, their PSL can be revoked and sold to another individual. The demand for Las Vegas Raiders season tickets are much higher than the organization had originally projected. Allegiant Stadium will have a capacity of 65,000 seats and is expected to cost more than $2 billion to construct when all is said and done.
