Moda Center

Lounge access, premium entrances, and which tickets unlock extras.

• The Lexus Club (sections 101–127, lower bowl) includes access to the Lexus Club Lounge - all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages in a dedicated space behind the lower bowl.
• Club Level seats (200-level sections 201–222 midcourt) include access to a dedicated Club Level restaurant - full food and bar service, with Pacific Northwest-influenced menu options that reflect the city's culinary culture.
• Upper bowl sections 301–320 are the most affordable option; Moda Center's compact 19,393-seat capacity means upper deck seats are closer to the action than almost any comparably priced ticket in the league.

Fastest gates, bag policy, and when to arrive.

• The main entrance is on North Center Court Drive (east side). Gate E (north, Wheeler Ave side) is consistently the fastest entry point for most sections and recommended for fans arriving via MAX Light Rail.
• Bag policy: clear bags maximum 12"×6"×12"; small non-clear clutch purses up to 4.5"×6.5" permitted. Moda Center uses fully digital ticketing - have your Rip City app loaded with tickets offline before arriving.
• Arrive 40 minutes before tip; Portland's compact Rose Quarter development means the area fills with pre-game foot traffic from nearby bars and the theater by 60 minutes before tip on sellout nights.

Where to park, transit options, and postgame exit tips.

• MAX Light Rail Yellow and Green Lines stop at the Rose Quarter/Convention Center station (2-minute walk from Gate E) - this is the best transport option and connects directly to downtown Portland and the Pearl District.
• MAX service from downtown can run delays on busy nights - allow extra time or board at a closer stop. The Burnside Bridge approach by car creates significant congestion; MAX is strongly recommended over driving.
• Moda Center connected parking garage (on Wheeler Ave) is $20–$30; Rose Quarter lots on N. Winning Way are $15–$20 for fans who prefer to drive.

Pro fan knowledge you won't find on the official site.

• Cartside, Portland's famous food cart pod, sets up outside the arena before games - a uniquely Portland pre-game experience that's far better and cheaper than arena concessions.
• Dr. Jack's sports bar is directly adjacent to the arena on the north side - the closest and most popular spot for a beer before and after games. Gets crowded fast on sellout nights.
• The Pearl District (15-minute MAX ride from Rose Quarter) is Portland's best pre-game dining neighborhood: Tasty n Daughters, Oven and Shaker for pizza and cocktails, and Paley's Place for Northwest cuisine.
