Seating Recommendations and Charts

Assembly Hall - IN offers seating for approximately 17,222 guests, with a famously steep bowl design that wraps closely around the court to heighten energy and improve sightlines. The layout includes Lower Level sections, Balcony seating, and dedicated student areas, with premium and accessible options throughout.

• Lower Level Center Court (Sections 4–6 and 15–17): These seats are widely considered the best for basketball thanks to their proximity to midcourt and excellent, balanced sightlines. Rows in the lower level typically run from 1–40, so even mid- to upper-row seats here feel close to the action.
• Lower Level Corners and Baselines (Various sections): Great for fans who want intense, up-close angles on fast breaks and paint play. You’ll feel the energy of the student sections and the home crowd from these vantage points.
• Balcony (Sections 101–122): With typical row ranges from 1–20, balcony seats benefit significantly from the arena’s steep rake — you’re elevated, but still engaged. These sections offer wide views of set plays and formations.
• Student Sections (various lower-level areas): Expect high volume and nonstop cheering. General admission student seating helps fuel one of the most electric college basketball atmospheres in the country.
• Club, Suites, and Premium Donor Seating: For a more comfortable experience with perks, premium areas provide upgraded views and amenities. Availability varies by event and donor level.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall

1001 E 17th St

Bloomington, IN 47408

Located on the Indiana University campus, the arena sits about 50 miles south of Indianapolis, making it a straightforward trip for regional fans and alumni.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in adjacent lots and garages; fees typically range from $10–$20. Arrive early for the best spots and smoother entry.
• Public Transit: Bloomington Transit serves the IU campus with nearby stops, though direct service to the arena is limited during major events.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located near the main entrance for easy access.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before tip-off or showtime. Early arrival helps you secure parking at posted rates and beat peak security lines — especially for high-demand Indiana Hoosiers games. With the arena’s steep seating bowl and multiple entry points, giving yourself extra time makes moving through the concourses easier.

Events are indoors, so weather won’t affect the performance or game itself, but parking lots and walkways are outdoors and can be exposed to the elements. Dress for the forecast and consider bringing a clear, weather-appropriate bag that meets the venue policy. If you’re parking in outer lots, allow time for the walk to the entrance.

Expect some stairs once you’re inside — the design that brings you closer to the court also means steeper climbs to higher rows. If you or someone in your group prefers fewer stairs, consider lower-row or accessible seating and ask ushers for the most direct route. Cell service is generally reliable, but can get congested during sold-out events, so download your tickets ahead of time.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s layout is straightforward: Lower Level seating surrounds the court, with Balcony sections above. Concession stands, merchandise kiosks, and restrooms are spread throughout the concourses, and you’ll find family restrooms and baby changing stations available for added convenience. ATMs are located on the main concourse.

Don’t miss the Hall of Champions exhibit highlighting IU basketball history — a meaningful stop for Hoosier fans and college basketball enthusiasts alike. If your seats are higher up, wear comfortable footwear to navigate stairs and steep aisles more easily.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bags only, not exceeding 12"x6"x12"; small clutch bags up to 4.5"x6.5" are permitted.

• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive early to explore the Hall of Champions and snap photos of the glass façade at sunset.
• If you prefer fewer stairs, choose lower-row or accessible seating and ask staff for the easiest route.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to discover the Hall of Champions exhibit and soak in the arena’s iconic architecture. The glass façade is especially striking at sunset — it’s a great time to meet up with friends and get those group photos before doors open.

If you want to extend the experience beyond the game or concert, Kirkwood Avenue offers a vibrant mix of shops, bars, and restaurants within the heart of Bloomington. It’s a lively pre- or post-event stop that fits seamlessly with an IU campus visit.

For groups, set a clear meeting point near the main entrance or a designated concourse landmark to simplify coordination. With 17,222 fans on busy nights, having a plan saves time and keeps everyone focused on the fun.
