Benchmark International Arena Seating Chart

Benchmark International Arena is a premier multi-purpose venue hosting concerts, sports events, and more. With a capacity of around 21,000 for hockey and up to 20,500 for concerts, the arena offers diverse seating options across levels, each providing unique views, amenities, and experiences. This guide explores the main seating sections in depth, highlighting what they offer for various event types. All details are based on standard configurations, which may vary by event.

Lower Level Seating

The Lower Level (sections 101-130) is the closest to the action, ideal for immersive experiences like hockey games or front-row concerts. Seats here provide unobstructed views of the ice, stage, or court, with premium sightlines from center sections (e.g., 101, 116). Amenities include wider seats, cup holders, and easy access to concessions and restrooms. For sports fans, these sections capture the energy of the crowd and players – think hearing the puck slap against the boards during a Tampa Bay Lightning game. However, they come at a higher price point, often starting at $100+ per ticket. Proximity to entrances reduces walking time, but noise levels can be intense. Families appreciate the excitement, though ear protection is recommended for kids.

Club Level Seating

Positioned between the Lower and Upper Levels (sections 201-230), the Club Level offers an elevated experience with exclusive perks. Seats are cushioned and spacious, boasting excellent mid-arena views that balance closeness and overview – perfect for concerts where you can see both the performer and lighting effects. Access to private lounges like the Chase Club includes upscale dining, full bars, and waiter service, making it great for corporate outings or date nights. Tickets often include priority entry and parking, with prices ranging from $150-$300. For events like basketball, these seats provide a panoramic court view without the floor-level chaos. The level’s concourses are less crowded, enhancing comfort during intermissions.

Upper Level Seating

The Upper Level (sections 301-330) is the most affordable option, with tickets as low as $20-$50, making it accessible for budget-conscious attendees. While farther from the action, these seats offer a broad perspective, ideal for large-scale events like wrestling or arena tours where the full spectacle matters. Views from center sections (e.g., 301, 316) minimize obstructions, though side sections may have partial views of stages. Amenities are basic – standard seating with nearby concessions – but the steep incline ensures decent sightlines. It’s popular among groups and families for its value, though those with mobility issues might find the stairs challenging. For hockey, the bird’s-eye view helps follow plays strategically.

Suites and Premium Seating

Suites provide the ultimate luxury, with private boxes accommodating 12-24 guests on levels like the Suite Level. Features include customizable catering, personal attendants, HDTVs for replays, and climate control – perfect for VIPs or celebrations. Views vary by location but are generally excellent, often with balcony seating overlooking the arena. Pricing starts at $5,000+ per event, including tickets. Loge boxes offer a semi-private alternative with similar perks at a lower cost. These options excel for networking or special occasions, shielding from crowds while delivering an intimate yet grand experience.

Accessibility Seating

Benchmark International Arena prioritizes inclusivity with ADA-compliant features across all levels. Accessible seating includes wheelchair spaces, companion seats, and transfer seats in Lower (e.g., sections 101-130), Club, and Upper Levels, ensuring comparable views. Elevators and ramps provide easy navigation, with accessible restrooms, concessions, and parking nearby. Assistive listening devices, captioning, and ASL interpreters are available upon request for events. Sensory-inclusive kits (noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools) support neurodiverse guests. For wheelchair users, the arena offers shuttle services from parking. Advance booking via the venue’s accessibility team is recommended to secure optimal spots, as they sell out quickly. The venue complies with ADA standards, promoting an equitable experience for all.
