Dumb question: How good is the view in Section 113 of XL Center?

[alexrgct]

I've received my XL Center season tix, and I *might* have hit a jackpot. I'm in Row B of Section 113.

I know Row B means I'm in the second row (awesome), but how good is this section? It must be at an angle, and I know it's lower level, but does it give me a great view of the court? I looked for an arena seat viewer, but I'm coming up empty so far.

Appreciate any insight and thoughts. Sorry if my question is ignorant and/or I'm rubbing anything in. I don't even know how excited I am.

If you go to uconnhuskies.com or to the XL website, I believe you can see the layout of the seating. Hope it helps

The layout, yes. But some experiential insight as to the actual court view- that's what I'm hoping someone can provide.

Yes- that's the seating chart. But for anyone who's ever actually sat there, what's the view like? Is it wonderful with the ball in either side of the court, even with a funky angle?

It's better for hockey.

For a basketball game, it depends on how low you are. The higher up the better so as to not get blocked by the Knights of the Typewriter. Also, you need to compensate for the angle by turning your body in the seat, Fenway Salute style, or your neck may get a little sore after a while. The far left side of the section is still beyond the baseline so at best you will be looking Left/Left-Center most of the game.

You can sit anywhere there's an open seat. I buy a $10 seat and sit courtside at every game i go to.

yeah back corner, tough angle BUT you may be able to hi-five them as the enter/exit the locker room... and get quality pics

Thanks, DC- what you posted is exactly what I hoped would be the case.

Looking forward to the tOSU game!

lotta action in that corner but you'll miss parts of the game watching everything else. The second half will be good for you to see UConn on offense, first half defense.

I sat in that section, near the floor, for one game last year, and remember thinking it
would have been better viewing if I had been about 10 rows higher up.

Well, to answer my question, here is my view. The coaches and players all enter and exit the court right in front of me!
