The 100 Level Baseline Sections are extended sections located behind the basket. The extended portion of these sections are fold up seats on portable risers. When looking at tickets in these seats, look for higher rows as they have more elevation, leading to better views. As you move toward the bottom, the section levels out causing fans to have to work around others to see clearly.
When looking at 100 level corner seats, it is always best to look at the sections closest to the court. This would be sections 101, 106, 113, and 118. As you move further in the corner, you will begin to feel more removed from the court.
Compare prices to the Upper Level Corners and Sidelines.
There are not many, if any, bad views in the 100 level sideline sections. This is due to the incline between rows, offering great elevated sight lines for the top rows and really close views for the lower rows.
Look at sections 114-117 to be behind the benches and 102-105 to be looking at the benches. Tunnels to the concourse are at the top of each section, so be ready for a lot of steps if sitting closer to the court.
The Upper Level Baseline is typically home to some of the cheapest tickets for a basketball game at the XL Center. This is due to the less ideal angle to the court and having to the action move to and from you instead of from side to side.
These sections are known for their steep incline, so keep this in mind when picking out your seats - the higher the row the higher you will be in relation to the court. The tunnels come in at the bottom of the section, so look toward the bottom for quicker access to the concourse.
Upper level corners are the smallest sections in the upper level at the XL Center. Looking in these sections will help avoid having the steep walks compared to the sideline sections. The views are from the corner, so you will always be closer to one end of the court than the other
The incline between rows is still very steep on this level, so if you are someone who is looking to avoid steps be sure to choose the lowest row possible.
Upper level sideline sections are the largest sections in the entire venue and can be extremely steep. All sections in this location go from A-Z followed by AA-GG. As you get into the upper, double lettered rows an overhang will begin to come in to view, but it will only block portions of the crowd.
A flight of stairs is required to enter the section from the concourse and every row above A will require additional steps from there.
