Fans who would like to attend this Sweet 16 matchup — and actually have somewhat of a good view of the action — will need to be willing to dig deep into their wallets.
At Ticketmaster, the nosebleed seats for Friday night’s opening game are currently going for between $70 and $99 each. Upper-level seats with a better view of the court are still going for as high as $595, and court-level seats cost as much as $1,800.
Sellouts are expected for all three games at the KFC Yum! Center this weekend, along with Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games at every other venue around the country. The seating capacity of the KFC Yum! Center is 22,090.
The venue, which hosts Louisville Cardinals home games, is one of the premier venues in college sports. It is the largest arena in the United States (by seating capacity) designed primarily for basketball, and it is the second largest used for college basketball, ranking only behind Syracuse’s JMA Wireless Dome.
