Curtis Culwell Center seating and best views for TNA Genesis 2026
The Curtis Culwell Center arena is built for sightlines, with a listed arena capacity up to 8,500. For wrestling, your “best seat” depends on what you value:
- Floor seats put you closest to entrances, brawling, and ringside moments, but taller fans and signs can block views.
- Lower bowl (the first raised seating level) is often the sweet spot for seeing the full ring and stage area clearly.
- Upper level is usually the most budget-friendly and still fine for a full match view, especially near center lines.
If you need accessible seating, the venue notes ADA sections at the top of multiple sections (including 101, 102, 104, 106, 109, 111, and 114), plus elevators at the East entrance.
