In an auditorium or sports venue, the line of side-by-side seats closest to the stage, playing field, or other location where the activity of interest is occurring.
"front row" means in an auditorium or sports venue, the line of side-by-side seats closest to the stage, playing field, or other location where the activity of interest is occurring. It is one of many casual words teens pick up from friends, social media, music or sport, and on its own it carries no particular warning. If you hear your teen use it, it is fair to ask what they mean by it in their friend group, since meanings drift quickly. Asking out of curiosity rather than alarm tends to keep the conversation open and useful.
"front row" is informal English meaning in an auditorium or sports venue, the line of side-by-side seats closest to the stage, playing field, or other location where the activity of interest is occurring. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "in an auditorium or sports venue" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "front row" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing.
