About Haas Pavilion
Haas Pavilion
Haas Pavilion is an indoor sports and entertainment venue that’s located on the University of California-Berkeley campus in Berkeley, California. The venue serves as the home for the Cal basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics teams. The arena opened in 1933 as the Men’s Gym but was later renamed Harmon Gym. After extensive renovations from 1997 to 1999, the venue was renamed Haas Pavilion after Walter Haas, who donated a significant amount of money to pay for the renovations. For basketball games and other events, Haas Pavilion currently has a capacity of over 11,800 fans.
Where are the Best Places to Sit at Haas Pavilion
Haas Pavilion offers premium bench seating around a significant part of the court. These are the best seats for getting as close to the action as possible. Other than those premium seats, sections 1-3 and 15-17 will have the best view of the court. Most of the seats in these sections also have chair backs, even though most of the seats in the arena don’t. Just be aware that sections 15-17 will be behind students while sections 1-3 are on the side of the team benches.
