The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is an outdoor amphitheater located in The Woodlands, Texas with a capacity of over 16,000 people.
The pavilion features both reserved seating under a covered roof as well as lawn seating on a grassy hill behind the reserved seats. The covered reserved seating sections are numbered 101 through 111, with rows A through W, excluding I, O, and U. The pit directly in front of the stage has reserved rows 1 through 6 for standing room only. The lawn has general admission seating and allows blankets and rented chairs.
The pavilion is designed so most seats have a decent view of the stage, though there are some obstructed views in the highest seats in sections 106/108 and lowest seats of 107/109.
