Parking, bag policy, transit and history are on the main Lenovo Center guide.
Lenovo Center seats in brief, and the PNC Arena chart
The quick answer: for a Hurricanes or NC State game, the best seats at Lenovo Center are the center sideline sections of the 100 level, 103 on the bench side and 116 across the ice, and the club sections of the 200 level directly above them. For value, the center sections of the 300 level, 304 and 324, keep the whole ice or court in front of you.
Anyone holding a PNC Arena seating chart has the right map. The building was PNC Arena until the naming deal ended in August 2024, and before that the RBC Center. The section numbers and rows carried over to the Lenovo name, so an older PNC Arena seat view still matches. The main changes since are new premium spaces, described below.
- Closest: the ice-level rows and the Lenovo Legend Club seats at the south end.
- Best balance: 103 and 116 and the sections beside them, mid-section rows.
- Short-row comfort: the 200-level club ring.
- Best value: 304 and 324, the center 300-level sections.
How the three rings are numbered
Lenovo Center does not post a numbering guide, so the layout below follows the RateYourSeats chart, checked against the Hurricanes' 2025 renovation release and a second seating guide.
- 100 level: section 101 sits at the south corner of the bench sideline. The bench side runs 102–106, the north end centers on 109–110, the opposite sideline runs about 113–119 with 116 at the red line, and the south end centers on 122–123. The highest numbers differ by source: the RateYourSeats chart stops at 126, while the Hurricanes' renovation release names south-end sections up to 128. Trust the map on your event.
- 200 level: sections 201–230, a full ring of club seats, with 204 above the bench side and 220 opposite.
- 300 level: sections 301–338, with 304 and 324 at center. Two guides agree on that range. Since the 2025–26 season, the View Bar, a standing bar area open to all fans, has replaced sections 317–319 in a north-end corner.
Named club areas sit inside those rings. Two guides place the Center Ice Club in the lower sideline sections, and RateYourSeats lists the Victory Club at 210–214 and the Club Ledge at 226–228. The Lenovo Legend Club, new in 2025, sits below the south stands; the team says its access comes with the first two rows off the ice and with rows C–E in south-end sections 101, 122 and 125–128.
Seat numbers and lettered rows
The seat-number rule is the most searched part of this chart, and two guides agree on it. TickPick says seat 1 is on the right side of every section as you face the ice, and RateYourSeats says the lower seat numbers are on the right. Numbers rise toward the left, so the highest seat in a row is the left aisle. A third guide, MapaPlan, describes the same pattern from the other direction: seat 1 sits closest to the lower-numbered neighboring section.
Rows are lettered, not numbered:
- 100 level: rows run A through Z, then continue with doubled letters near the top, such as VV, WW and XX. RateYourSeats and MapaPlan both show doubled-letter rows. A seat in row WW is high in the lower bowl, not at the front of some special section.
- Ice-level rows: some sections add rows in front of row A, and the Legend Club seats occupy the first rows off the ice at the south end.
- 200 level: a short club ring of only a few lettered rows, so every club seat sits near the rail.
- 300 level: lettered rows again, deeper than the club ring.
RateYourSeats places wheelchair positions behind the top lettered row (XX or ZZ) in many lower sections.
The view from each level
100 level
From the middle rows of 103 and 116 you see the full sheet and both nets with no glass in the way. Front rows deliver noise and speed but make the far end hard to follow. RateYourSeats suggests the top rows near the entry tunnels for the most balanced view.
200-level club ring
Because the ring is so shallow, the club seats sit just above the lower bowl, close and high enough to see plays develop. RateYourSeats calls the 200 level a strong view for any event; center sections such as 204 and 220 are the sports pick.
300 level
The center sections, 304 and 324, give a complete overhead view of the ice or court at the lowest cost in the building. The corners and the deep north and south ends are the long-distance seats to skip, especially for a concert, when the stage sits at one end.
Hurricanes hockey: benches and the attack-twice end
Guides agree the visitors' bench is in front of section 103. They differ slightly on the Hurricanes bench, which RateYourSeats draws in front of 104 and TickPick places at 105. Either way, both benches share the 103–105 sideline, and sections 115–117 across the ice look straight at them. RateYourSeats draws the penalty boxes in front of 116; TickPick places them at 118–120.
- Center ice: 103 and 116 and their neighbors, from the middle rows up.
- Attack-twice end: RateYourSeats says the Canes shoot twice toward the south end, near 101 and 125–126, and TickPick also names 126. That is the same end as the Legend Club, and its corners are the value seats for watching two periods of home offense.
- Club pick: 204 and 220 for a near-perfect hockey angle with short rows.
- Skip: the low rows in the end sections if you want to follow the far zone, and the 300-level corners if you want detail.
NC State basketball and concert layouts
Wolfpack basketball
The court runs the same way as the rink, so midcourt is 103 and 116 downstairs, 203–205 and 220 in the club ring, and 304 and 324 upstairs. RateYourSeats lists the lower rows of several sideline sections and the north-end section 110 as student seating for NC State games. If you want the noise without standing all game, sit a few rows behind the students rather than among them.
End-stage concerts
For most end-stage shows, RateYourSeats places the stage at the north end, listing section 110 as behind or beside the stage. The floor holds numbered sections, Floor 1–9 in both RateYourSeats and MapaPlan.
- Closest: the front center floor sections.
- Raised and close: the side sections nearest the stage on both sidelines, and the club sections above them.
- Head-on: 122–123 at the south end and the 200 and 300 sections above them see the full production, from distance.
- Avoid: the north-end sections around 109–110 behind the stage, unless sold for a center-stage show.
Accessible seating and elevators
Lenovo Center states that accessible seating is available at every event and on every level, and that locations vary slightly with each event's layout, so the event's seating chart is the place to check exact spots. At least one companion seat is placed immediately next to each wheelchair space; additional companions sit as close as possible. The arena recommends buying early, because accessible seats not bought during the advance sale period can be released to the general public.
Public elevators are to the left of the box office next to section 128 and next to section 111 on the outside wall. During events they are designated for preferred use by guests with disabilities. Complimentary wheelchair escorts to and from your seat are available; see the arena's ADA guide for details.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Lenovo Center seating chart the same as the PNC Arena seating chart?
Yes. It is the same Raleigh building, renamed from PNC Arena in 2024, and the section and row numbers carried over. New premium spaces such as the Legend Club and View Bar were added in 2025.
How are seats numbered at Lenovo Center?
Seat 1 is on the right as you face the ice or court, and numbers climb toward the left, per two seating guides. Rows are lettered A through Z and then doubled letters.
What does the view look like from the 300 level at Lenovo Center?
From the center sections, 304 and 324, you see the full ice or court from above at the lowest cost. The corners and deep ends feel far away, especially for concerts.
What are the best seats at Lenovo Center for a Hurricanes game?
Center sections 103 and 116 and their neighbors, or the 200-level club seats at 204 and 220. The south end, where the Canes shoot twice, is the value pick for corners.
Is the whole 200 level at Lenovo Center club seating?
Yes. Sections 201–230 form a short club ring just above the lower bowl, which keeps every club seat close to the action.
Where are the elevators and accessible seats at Lenovo Center?
Elevators are next to sections 128 and 111. Accessible seats are on every level, and their exact locations vary by event, so check that event's seating chart.
