Sports Illustrated is working on making its mark in the concert venue world, and you should keep an eye on it if you love live music. Sports Illustrated Stadium (formerly Red Bulls Arena) in Harrison, N.J., hosted Jason Aldean at the stadium, where his show made its mark as the first show at the stadium after the name change. The venue states that it has “a growing calendar of world-class concerts and special events at the 25,000+ seat stadium through 2025 and beyond.” Since this concert venue just changed its name and it’s more commonly known for being a soccer stadium for Red Bulls matches, some people are not as familiar with the seating arrangements, like they are with MetLife Stadium. We’re here to help out, especially before Iron Maiden takes over the stage on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026 during its “Run for Your Lives World Tour 2026.” Plus, seating charts and guides on venue websites are often not very helpful and make the process of choosing what section to sit in incredibly difficult. Sports Illustrated Stadium seating chart Here is a breakdown of the seating arrangements for Sports Illustrated Stadium to help you plan where you want to sit for your next show. Floor Level Seating Floor level seating will have you the closest to the stage and really at eye level with the artists performing, which is generally the rule of thumb for most stadium shows. Since Jason Aldean’s show was the first to happen at the arena, there aren’t many reviews of this section just yet. However we found one review on A View From My Seat stating that they are amazing seats, and the picture included is not zoomed in at all. 100 Level Seating This section is the the next closest to the stage and closest to the floor. The seat sections in this 100 level area ranges from 101-133, and these will also offer a great view of the stage, especially with a slight elevation. Right now, there is one concert review on A View From My Seat of this section, specifically in section 117, and the reviewer said the area offered a great view of the stage with no complaints. 200 Level Seating Finally, there is the 200 level seating, which is the last section you can sit in in this stadium. The section ranges from 201-233. Although there are no reviews from a concert perspective, there are many who attended sporting events. There were a few complaints about this section, including in area 227 and 229, where people stated that the railings definitely blocked the view of the sporting event. They also stated that the seating in this area was not that comfortable and could be directly in the sun, which made some uncomfortable. But, there are others who raved about the view from this section and enjoyed their experience, as well.
