ringside
Prime fight seats
Ringside is the area immediately surrounding a boxing ring or wrestling ring, where the closest spectators sit.
By extension, ringside describes any position offering an unobstructed view of the action: We had ringside seats for the whole drama.
A ringside seat suggests proximity to something exciting or significant, whether literal or figurative.
