upper decks

Ship's top levels

The upper decks are the higher levels of a ship, stadium, or multi-story structure.

On ships, upper decks are above the main deck and typically exposed to weather.

In stadiums, the upper deck contains the highest seating sections: We had cheap seats in the upper deck.

The phrase sometimes appears in slang for the head or mind: not much going on in the upper decks.
