Basketball Review
Section 309, Row 6, Seat 4

★★★★★

The best thing about these seats is their proximity to Ironworks, which has a delicious steak sandwich and one of the better beer selections in the upper level. Being in Row 6 and being with a group sitting on the aisle makes it easy to get down to the concourse and back in your seat in a flash. Sitting higher up and in a row with more seats (Row 6 only has like 10 seats) would make it a little more challenging. I don't like sitting behind the basket for basketball, but the view was OK. The view of the action on the other end of the court is good (though far away), but the view on the near hoop is tough. You really never do know if the ball went through the net or if it was an airball. Overall, really good seats to bring a group of friends or even the kids who aren't totally in-tune with every detail of the game. Just don't expect to wow someone with a great view.

The 300 Level at the United Center already has a ton of history. From the Bulls' second three-peat to the Blackhawks' recent dynasty, die-hard fans have crowded the upper level to witness some of Chicago's best sports moments. These sections have some of the best views of the banners that hang in the rafters, and they're the best seats for finding cheap Bulls or Hawks tickets. Recommended Seats for Concerts, Basketball and Hockey Sit in a sideline section for basketball gamesEven if it means sitting in a higher row Sit in the lowest row possible for hockey gamesEven if it means not sitting at center ice Review the seating chart for your concert The best seats for most shows are at the front of sections 319 and 333 Rows and Seat Numbers Each 300 Level section has up to 17 rows with an entrance located near Row 3. Seat 1 is on your right as you look towards the floor from your seats. The best rows to sit in are 1-8. Rows 1-2 have the best views, and Rows 3-8 have the fewest seats. This makes it easier to get in and out.

"Good view for developing plays"
(Section 311) - ★★★★ -
Seats were a great bargain back in the day for $10. Unbeatable deal.
"Birds Eye View"
(Section 310) - ★★★★ -
Stairs were steep to get up to Row 15, but once there got a good view of the whole court and could see the plays develop and track all the action. Very cool for the basketball strategist or avid fan, might not be the best for young ones or those looking to impress a guest. Vendors were scarce, and...

How many seats are in section 309 for concerts? Can you access the seats from behind?

Most rows in section 309 have 15 seats, labeled from right to left. You will enter section 309 near row 3 and then walk up or down to your row from there. At the top of the section you will find a landing area where SRO patrons stand and where you can find small restrooms.

If I buy seats in section 309 (head-on view), will there be a screen to watch or will it obstruct the view of the stage?

Hello and thank you for your question! For Ariana Grande's tour in the upper level at the United Center, obstructions will depend mostly on the row. The entire stage will be visibile to all fans in the crowd. As you get higher in the arena, production equipment could block a portion of the screen located behind the stage. This screen is mostly used for production elements like video imagery. It is not used to project what is happening on stage. For better views of what is happening on stage, there will be smaller screens located off to the side.... Read More
