Smoothie King Center — seating & best seats
Typical layout
Indicative layout for an arena — not Smoothie King Center's exact chart. The precise section map for your event is shown on the marketplace before checkout.
Pelicans' home next door to the Superdome.
Where to sit
Best value
Lower-level (100s) corner sections — close to floor prices below premium sideline rates.
For sports
Center-ice / half-court 100s, rows 5–20.
For concerts
Floor if you want energy; lower-level sections at a 45° angle to the stage often see and hear better than floor rows far back.
Budget play
Upper-level (200s/300s) center rows 1–5 — the rail keeps sightlines clean.
Getting there
RTA's Loyola-UPT streetcar line ends near the arena by the Union Passenger Terminal.
