Seating Recommendations and Charts

Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena offers seating for approximately 5,000 guests for basketball — expanding up to 5,500 for concerts — with a flexible, retractable lower bowl and event-specific floor layouts. Numbered sections (commonly 100–116 for basketball) circle the court, while concerts may use floor sections close to the stage for an immersive experience.

• Lower bowl center (Sections 104–106): These prime sideline seats are highly recommended for basketball, placing you near mid-court with excellent sightlines and quick access to concourses.
• Floor seating (concerts): When concerts deploy a floor setup, these seats bring you closest to the stage — ideal if you want proximity and energy. Keep in mind that rows and numbering vary by show.
• Club level and suites: VIP seating, suites, and club-level options deliver added comfort and amenities, perfect for group outings, special occasions, or premium hospitality.
• Corners and baselines (lower bowl): Great value for fans who want to be near the action without paying center-court prices; angles can also offer unique perspectives during end-to-end plays.
• Upper sections and accessible areas: Upper-level seats provide a broader view of the court or stage, while accessible seating is available on all levels — reserve accessible locations during purchase for the smoothest experience.

Use Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart to view live seat availability, compare prices, and choose the section that fits your experience.

• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located near the main entrance for easy arrival and departure.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before the event start time to allow for parking, security screening, and getting settled in your seats. This window helps you beat pre-show rushes, browse concessions, and check out merchandise stands without missing a moment.

Because Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena is fully indoors, weather won’t disrupt your plans — a major plus during Baltimore’s colder months or rainy spells. There is moderate walking from campus parking lots to the arena, and accessible routes are available if needed.

If you’re using public transit, confirm MTA and UMBC shuttle schedules in advance to time your arrival. Rideshare users should enter the arena’s full address and follow on-site signage to the designated pickup and dropoff zones to streamline post-event departures.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s concourses are designed for smooth flow, with digital signage to guide you to seating sections, restrooms, concessions, and merchandise stands. If your event uses the retractable lower bowl or a concert floor, staff and wayfinding will direct you to the correct entry points and wristband checks when applicable.

You’ll find multiple concession stands serving arena favorites like pizza, hot dogs, pretzels, and popcorn, plus select locations featuring local Maryland beers and specialty snacks. Official UMBC and event merchandise stands are positioned on the concourse, and ATMs and charging stations are available to keep you connected throughout the event.

Pre-Event Planning

For big games and concerts, coordinate a meet-up spot with your group on the concourse so everyone can find each other after security. Using Ticket Purchase’s interactive seating map makes it easy to choose adjacent seats or premium options like suites and club-level when you’re planning a night out.

The UMBC campus setting adds a relaxed backdrop before you head inside. If you have extra time, arriving early lets you park without stress and enjoy a quick bite nearby in Catonsville. In spring and fall, the campus grounds offer pleasant views while you walk from parking to the entrance — a nice bonus before the lights go down and the show begins.

If you need accessible seating or assistance devices, lock those details in during purchase to streamline your arrival. For large groups, consider designating a driver and noting your parking lot to make the post-event exit smoother.

Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking near the entrance, accessible seating available on all levels, and elevators and ramps connecting concourses and seating areas.
