The game-day films on this page cover the full range of ways to do a night here, from the last row under the rafters to a VIP suite.

  • Real concession prices, documented on the upper level: a $15 Michelob Ultra draft, a $16 local '6th Man' lager, a $16 Checkers Big Buford with $8 fries
  • Seat views on camera: section 232 row 1 in the cheap seats, under Shaq's retired jersey, and section 118 row 12 down low
  • Eat inside the building: the concourse tour finds a Cuban Cafe, a Black Bean Deli, a carved turkey sandwich and a 4 Rivers pulled pork sandwich among the options

Playoff mode and the VIP end

The 2026 playoff film on this page catches the building at full volume — the Magic and Pistons tied 1–1, synchronized light-up bracelets washing the crowd in blue and white. At the other end of the price ladder, a VIP season-ticket-holder night includes early access, a front-office presentation on the season outlook, club-level suite seats, and a postgame trip to the sky lounge. Same building, very different evenings — both are on this page.
