All Balcony sections include two rows of seats plus a row of barstools at the back. Guests will have a bird's eye view of the action from the top of the arena.

East Balcony seats are also known as The Lounges. These seats are larger than normal stadium seats and are over-sized with extra padding. Behind the seats is a hospitality area with food, additional seating and drinks available for purchase.

Lounge Seats are typically sold in group ticket packages, but are occasionally available to individual fans.
