Inside US Bank Stadium: Seating Charts, Views, and How to Pick Seats
If you're planning a visit to the US Bank Stadium, understanding the seating chart and views is key to turning a good game day into an unforgettable experience. This guide breaks down every level, highlights the best spots for any budget, and gives you insider tips on securing the perfect seat.
US Bank Stadium Seating Chart & Views
The University of Minnesota’s flagship arena sits in Minneapolis’s North Loop and can hold roughly 66,000 for football and up to 67,000 for basketball. Its seating is divided into three main sections:
- Field‑Level – rows A through C, the closest seats to the action.
- Upper Deck – rows 1–18 and 19–30, offering a panoramic view of the entire field.
- Suite & Club Areas – premium options with private entrances and lounge access.
Each section is further broken into zones that mirror the stadium’s iconic bowl shape, ensuring you can find a spot that balances price, comfort, and sightlines.
How to Read the Seating Chart
The chart is organized by section numbers and row letters, similar to most college arenas. Section 100–200 runs along the first row of the upper deck, while section 500 and above are closer to the field. Notice the color coding: blue represents premium seats with better sightlines; gray indicates budget-friendly but slightly angled views. When you click on a section, a pop‑up zooms in, showing the exact seat number and any obstructed views.
Best Views for Different Budgets
Whether you’re a die‑hard fan or a casual supporter, there’s a sweet spot for you:
- Premium (Section 100–150, Rows A–C) – $250–$500. These seats give you a low‑angle, front‑row view and are great for catching every play.
- Mid‑Tier (Sections 200–300, Rows 4–12) – $90–$160. You’ll have a clear, slightly elevated perspective without breaking the bank.
- Budget (Sections 400–600, Rows 13–18) – $50–$90. These seats offer a broad view of the field, perfect for fans who want to enjoy the atmosphere.
- Suite (Sections 700–800) – $600–$1,200. Includes private balcony, catering, and a VIP experience.
For the best value, aim for seats in the first 12 rows of the upper deck; they strike a balance between cost and an unobstructed view.
Tips for Booking Your Seats

- Check for Obstruction Warnings – Some seats have a slight dip or are partially blocked by the stadium’s structural arches.
- Consider Group Discounts – The stadium offers reduced rates for large parties, especially at premium levels.
