The seating in the Brose Arena really offers a different experience dependent on what even you are going to see. For concerts, lets just say the seats could be a bit better. The legroom is not ideal, especially for taller people, and if you are having to crane your neck to look at the action for a couple of hours, you're not going to be so happy.The basketball offers a different experience, the high paced movement on court means that you are constantly looking everywhere and you are up and out of your seat a lot so the comfort levels won't be as important.
What to expect from the Brose Arena crowd?
Despite not being the NBA, the European Basketball League actually has rather a good following and games at the Brose Arena actually tend to sell out. The club makes a big deal out of having and promoting supporter's groups which means that the atmosphere at the games is usually great! There is a band section of the court, with drums and instruments that keep playing throughout the game which makes the small arena very atmospheric.
