For a basketball game, it is a good venue to watch, but you could not hear the announcer in the upper level. The big screen could have zoomed in on more of the players, so when you are in the nosebleed area, you could still see some close ups of the game. Overall it was a fun activity, if you like basketball, but not sure if I would want to sit in the upper seats for a concert, as you have poor acousitcs.
