Seat Views
Arena Seats
Flat floor seating similar to Tokyo Dome. Stage layouts vary by show, but center stages and extended stages are common, meaning even back arena seats may get close encounters with members.
Lower Stand Seats
Seats surrounding the arena. The "1st Base Side" and "3rd Base Side" lower stands facing the stage are known for excellent views. The elevation means no blocked views from people in front.
Upper Stand Seats
The highest seats, but Kyocera Dome has steeper stand angles than Tokyo Dome, so many fans say upper stands are surprisingly viewable. Binoculars recommended.
