Capacity
16,514
Prudential Center is one of the smaller NHL arenas at 16,514 seats, which makes it feel intimate and loud. The three-level design (lower, mezzanine, upper) keeps fans close to the ice. The steep upper deck provides surprisingly good views thanks to the compact footprint. The arena was built for hockey and the sightlines show it. There are very few bad seats. The lower bowl sits tight around the rink.
