Final Four Basketball Seating Details

State Farm Stadium is hosting the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four for the third time in 2025.

Here are some general tips when buying tickets to a men’s basketball game inside a football stadium:

  • The temporary seating system around all four sides of the raised court provides plenty of good seats.
  • Rows 1-4, A-Z, and AA-QQ above them are on temporary risers. You’ll notice only 41 rows in these sections behind the risers. These extended men’s tournament sections have a very minimal slope. Therefore, it’s important to note that the higher-numbered rows are much further back from the court than in a traditional NBA Arena.

What Items Can I Bring Into the Final Four?

Fans are allowed to bring a small clutch bag or purse roughly the size of a hand or a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no greater than 12″ by 6″ by 12″. Each family member (including children) can bring one of these types of bags into the stadium.

What fans may NOT bring into the stadium is a bit more clear. Prohibited items at the Final Four are as follows:

  • Weapons or fireworks
  • Video cameras and cameras with a lens exceeding 6″
  • Poles/sticks of any kind
  • Large purses, bags, and backpacks
  • Bottles, cans, liquid containers, and coolers (except for guests with special medical or dietary needs)
  • Outside food and drink
  • Objects that obstruct another patron’s view of the playing field
  • Horns, bells, whistles, bullhorns, megaphones, klaxons, boom boxes, and/or other noisemakers
  • Animals (except assistive animals for guests with disabilities)
  • Anything that creates a nuisance or disruption
  • Selfie Sticks

The Best Seats at the Final Four

While most would say the best seats for the Final Four at the Alamodome are courtside in sections 111-113 and 133-135, a good argument could be made for seats in the first handful of rows in the mid-court sections of the 200-level above.

Floor Sections 1-2 and 3-4, located on the west and east ends of the court behind the baskets, respectively, are along the baselines and are among the closest seats to the court. These sections also have a minimal slope and are reserved for the student sections.

As a general rule of thumb, when searching for tickets to the Final Four, you want to be as close to center court as possible. For example, we would rather sit at the 300 level near mid-court than at the 100 level behind one of the baskets.

The Worst Seats at the Final Four

Football stadiums were not originally designed to host basketball games, so if your budget allows, we don’t recommend sitting in certain areas within the venue.

  • Avoid the temporary (riser) 100-level corner sections (because of the lack of elevation)
  • If you want a closer view, avoid the 300-level sections typically marked as end zone sections in football games.

Check out Alamodome seat views to get an idea of what the view from your seat will be like (although it’s designed for football).

Remember, a basketball court is 94 feet by 50 feet or 31.3 by 16.6 yards. So, the court will be between the 35-yard lines, so the standard end-zone seats are not recommended.

Where Are the Designated Fan Sections for the Final Four?

The NCAA has designated fan sections for each team represented at the Final Four each year.

While that information isn’t yet available, we’ll post updates to this blog so you can attend with fellow supporters of your school in April.

Where Are the Student Sections for the Final Four?

The student sections for each university will be designated for students of the participating teams only. Although the NCAA has yet to formally announce this for this year’s March Madness, the student sections will likely be in front of the End Zone sections and their risers behind the four-floor sections.

Final Four Seat Numbers

State Farm Stadium seat numbers go from right to left if you’re looking at the court from your seats. This means that seat number 1 will always be on the aisle next to the adjacent section with the lower section number.

So, seat number 1 in section 134 will be next to the highest-numbered seat in section 133, and so on.
