About the New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans are a National Basketball Association (NBA) franchise based in New Orleans, Louisiana, competing in the Western Conference’s Southwest Division. The team was established in 2002 (as the New Orleans Hornets) and rebranded as the Pelicans in 2013. While the franchise has not won an NBA championship, it captured one Southwest Division title (2007–08) and has made multiple playoff appearances, including Western Conference Semifinals runs in 2008 and 2018. Notable names tied to the franchise include Chris Paul, Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson, and David West, with Peja Stojaković also playing a key role during competitive seasons in the late 2000s.

The Pelicans play at Smoothie King Center in downtown New Orleans, adjacent to the Caesars Superdome. Opened in 1999 (originally as New Orleans Arena), the venue seats approximately 16,867 for basketball and underwent significant renovations, with naming rights acquired by Smoothie King in 2014. On game night, the atmosphere leans into the city’s identity—lively, music-driven, and layered with local flavor.

Within the Southwest Division, matchups against the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and Memphis Grizzlies can drive higher demand—especially as playoff or play-in stakes rise. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing New Orleans Pelicans tickets early is the smartest move.

New Orleans Pelicans Seating at Smoothie King Center

Best Seats for New Orleans Pelicans Games

The right seat depends on what kind of game night experience you're after:

• Best value: Upper-level (300-level) sections, especially corners and behind the baskets — elevated views, strong crowd energy, and a lower price point
• Closest to the action: Lower bowl (100-level) — feel the pace of the game up close
• Best overall view: Center-court lower-bowl sections along the sidelines, near courtside — excellent sightlines to follow plays developing across the court
• For groups and premium experiences: Luxury suites, courtside seats, and lower-bowl premium sections — added comfort and a premium setting for client outings, celebrations, and group nights

If you’re organizing a group outing or targeting a high-demand matchup, it’s smart to line up seats early so everyone can sit together.

Getting Ready for Pelicans Game Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially in a busy downtown setting near Smoothie King Center on game nights.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service near Smoothie King Center gets congested on game nights. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Doors typically open approximately 90 minutes before tip-off. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand nights.
• Public Transit: Smoothie King Center is served by downtown New Orleans streetcar lines and RTA bus routes, with the arena located in the central business district near the Superdome.
• Rideshare: Use the designated rideshare pickup/drop-off zones near the arena in the downtown complex, and plan ahead for post-game traffic.
• Bag Policy: Expect an NBA-standard clear-bag policy; small clutch bags and medically necessary items are permitted, while large bags and backpacks are prohibited.
• Bring a card or mobile payment — Smoothie King Center is cashless. Credit/debit and mobile payments are accepted, with cash-to-card conversion available on site.
