Parking, bag policy, transit and history are on the main Rogers Place guide.
The Rogers Place seat answer, up front
For an Oilers game, the best seats at Rogers Place are the center-ice club sections, 102–103 on the bench side and 119–120 across the ice, from the middle rows up. For value, the center sections of the upper bowl (203–204 above the benches and 218–220 opposite) keep the full rink in view at a lower cost, and the arena's compact upper bowl puts them closer to the ice than the section numbers suggest.
The chart has four bands of seating, each with its own numbering:
- Lower bowl: sections 101–134, with the club seats along both sidelines.
- CIBC Suites: a ring of suites, S1–S57, just above the lower bowl, plus Theatre Boxes at the east end.
- PCL Loge: L1–L31, table and ledge seating that circles the arena.
- Upper bowl: 201–226 and 230–234, with the Sportsnet Club and Sky Lounge filling the east end.
How the sections are numbered
The Oilers' official seating map is the reference here. Section 101 sits on the bench-side sideline, and numbers run clockwise around the bowl when viewed from above:
- Bench side: 101–104, all club seats. The Oilers bench sits in front of 102 and the visitors' bench in front of 103.
- West end: 105, 107 and 109 in the corner, then 110 and 112 behind the net, then 113, 115 and 117. Odd gaps in the numbers are normal; there is no 106, 108, 111 or 114.
- Penalty-box side: 118–121, the other club block, with the penalty boxes in front of 119 and 120.
- East end: 122, 124, 126, 127, 129, 130, 132 and 134, again skipping numbers.
The upper bowl follows the same clockwise order, with 201–204 above the bench side and 218–221 above the penalty boxes. There is no 227, 228 or 229. That stretch of the east end belongs to the Sportsnet Club and the Sky Lounge, which take the place of upper-bowl seats behind the east net.
Rows, seat numbers and seat 1
Two seating guides, TickPick and RateYourSeats, agree that seat 1 is on the right side of every section as you face the ice. Seat numbers climb toward the left, so the highest seat in a row is the left aisle. Because the sections run clockwise, seat 1 sits next to the lower-numbered neighbor. In section 119, for example, seat 1 is the end closer to 118.
Row depth varies by level:
- Lower bowl: rows count up from row 1 near the glass, and the sideline and corner sections run to about row 25. TickPick ties club-lounge access to the first 25 rows of the club sections, and RateYourSeats lists section 102 as rows 1–25. RateYourSeats notes that for hockey, row 3 is usually the first row in section 102, so a low row number can still sit a couple of rows back.
- O-Zone: rows 23–25 in the west corner sections 107, 109, 113 and 115, a raised strip with its own bar rail, per TickPick and the arena's map.
- PCL Loge: table seating in rows 2 and 3 behind a ledge, per TickPick, with four chairs at each table.
- Upper bowl: shorter sections than the lower bowl, with a drink-rail row at the back of some sections.
Accessible rows sit at the top of most sections, which is also where many entry tunnels are.
What you see from each level
Lower bowl
RateYourSeats recommends the upper half of the club sections, roughly rows 16–25, for hockey. From there you clear the glass and the bench staff and still feel the speed of the game. The front rows are about sound and proximity: you hear the boards, but plays at the far end are hard to read through the glass.
Loge and suites
The PCL Loge ring sits just above the lower bowl, so its tables look down at the ice from a height many fans consider ideal for hockey. The arena lists 136 loge tables and 300 Loge Ledge seats. The wider seats are a bonus; the arena puts club seats at about 21 inches across and Sportsnet Club, Sky Lounge and O-Zone seats at about 22, versus about 19 in the bowls.
Upper bowl
The 200 level rises above the loge and suite rings, yet the bowl is compact. RateYourSeats calls rows 1–4 of center sections such as 219 a top pick for watching the ice. Above that, the view stays complete but grows smaller, and the corners of the upper bowl are the longest look at any event.
Oilers hockey: where to sit and what to skip
- Center ice: 102–103 put you behind the benches; 119–120 face both benches with the penalty boxes in front. For a clean read of the whole rink, many fans prefer 119–120.
- Attack-twice end: the arena's map marks the west net, in front of 110 and 112, as the end the Oilers attack twice. The corners on that end, 107, 109, 113 and 115, give a diagonal view of the net for two periods.
- O-Zone: the raised back rows of those same corners, built for fans who want a social seat with a rail and the home team's offense in front of them.
- Upper value: 203–204 and 218–220 from the front rows; 211 at the west end if you want the Oilers' attack straight on.
- Skip: the lowest rows directly behind the benches if you dislike standing players blocking part of the ice, and the high corners of the upper bowl if you want detail.
For an Oil Kings game, the same chart applies; RateYourSeats notes that the Oil Kings also attack twice toward the 110 end.
Concert layouts at Rogers Place
For most end-stage concerts, the stage sits at the east end. RateYourSeats lists section 129 as behind or beside the stage for most shows and 110 at the west end as a head-on view. Stage placement changes by tour, so check the map attached to your event.
- Floor: the closest view, with flat floor rows that lose sightlines farther back.
- Raised and close: the club and corner sections nearest the stage, 120–124 on one side and 132, 134 and 101 on the other, which look at the stage from an angle.
- Head-on: 110 and 112 and the upper sections above them, 210–212, face the full production and screens, at a distance.
- Avoid: the east-end sections around 126–130 behind the stage, which are usually closed or sold as limited view. RateYourSeats notes that for concerts the first row in section 129 can start at row 15.
For center-stage shows, the arena lists a larger capacity, and the sideline club sections become the best raised seats again.

Rogers Place publishes its wheelchair locations by level:
