Location & Transportation

Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium is located at 399 McCallie Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37402 — near downtown Chattanooga and close to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus.

Driving and Parking: The venue is accessible from downtown Chattanooga surface streets and nearby interstate connections. Parking is available in adjacent lots and on-street, with additional downtown parking within walking distance. For popular shows, downtown parking can take extra time, so arriving early helps you park, walk in, and clear entry screening without feeling rushed.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Chattanooga, with straightforward drop-off and pickup along the McCallie Avenue frontage. After larger shows, expect typical post-event waits as crowds exit at the same time.

Nearby Accommodation: Numerous downtown Chattanooga hotels are within a short drive of the auditorium, including properties near the Chattanooga Convention Center and the Tennessee riverfront district. Staying downtown can make pre-show dining and post-event travel easier.

Venue Navigation

Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium uses a traditional theater layout, with guests oriented toward the stage from the main floor and balcony. Understanding your level before you arrive helps you move quickly through the historic building and find the right section.

Entrances and Access: The main public entrance fronts McCallie Avenue. Guests enter through the auditorium frontage before proceeding to ticket verification, screening, and the appropriate floor or balcony section.

Seating Levels: The venue is organized with a main floor, often referred to as the orchestra level, and balcony seating above. This classic auditorium configuration gives guests a choice between closer floor seating and elevated views from the balcony.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and entry are available, with historic-building accommodations typical of a civic auditorium. Guests needing accessible seating should select appropriate listings when purchasing.

Getting to Your Section: Ushers and venue staff direct guests to floor and balcony sections. Tickets indicate the level and seat, and upper seating can involve stairs, so allowing extra time is helpful if your seats are in the balcony.

Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium Seating Guide

Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium has a classic auditorium configuration oriented toward the stage, with a main orchestra/floor level and an upper balcony. The best seat choice depends on whether you want the closest view, the strongest overall sightline, or the most budget-friendly option.

Best Seats at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium

• Best value: Upper balcony and rear sections are typically the most affordable areas, offering a stage view at a lower price point than prime floor seating.
• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows nearest the stage put you closest to the performers and production details.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra seats and front balcony rows generally offer the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere.
• Premium and suite options: Prime center-floor seating typically carries premium pricing because of its central location and direct view of the stage.
• For groups: Group seating can be arranged through the box office, and coordinating seats early is helpful for popular concerts, family shows, and theatrical productions.
• General admission when available: Some shows can use general admission floor configurations, while others are fully reserved, so the seating map for the specific event shows the available setup.
