From there you can upgrade to the Lower Bowl to be closer to the court, either behind the baseline or on the sideline with various options available. For those looking to be right by the action, there are also Super Row Tickets, which offer guaranteed seats in the very first row (A) and can be anywhere around the arena including on the baseline or the sideline.
