Ticket & Access Perks
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.

Entry & Logistics
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.
🚇
Parking & Transit
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.
