Jacobs Pavilion – Cleveland Venue Guide 

Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica is one of Cleveland’s premier open-air concert venues, offering a unique waterfront experience along the Cuyahoga River. With the downtown skyline as a backdrop and a state-of-the-art stage set beneath a sweeping canopy, this venue blends the energy of live music with the scenic beauty of the city’s industrial and natural landscape.

Its midsize capacity and intimate layout make it a favorite stop for touring performers and a go-to destination for music fans in Northeast Ohio. Every concert here feels personal, with crisp acoustics, refreshing breezes from the riverside, and unforgettable views.

Venue Navigation and Seating 

Jacobs Pavilion features an amphitheater-style seating plan under a large tensile roof, with excellent sightlines and quality sound throughout. The layout ensures that even fans in the back can enjoy a clear view of the stage and the performers. 

Seating Breakdown: 

Floor / General Admission Pit: 
For select shows, the area directly in front of the stage is standing room only—ideal for fans who want to be immersed in the performance. This section fills up fast, so arrive early. 

Reserved Seating (Sections 1–6): 
These seats are directly behind the pit and offer excellent views of the stage with individual folding chairs. Rows here are close to the action, yet relaxed enough for comfort. 

Bleacher Seating (Sections 7–9): 
These elevated bench seats offer a broader view of the stage and venue. They are uncovered, so bring sun protection or a light jacket depending on the time of day. 

Accessible Seating: 
Wheelchair-accessible spaces and companion seating are available in designated areas and must be selected when purchasing tickets. Early booking is recommended.
