Seating guide
- Best views
- For a view of the Center City skyline, sit in the upper level behind the plate or the rooftop bleachers in left-center. Hall of Fame Club seats put you close to the infield.
- Shade & cover
- Shade comes to the third-base side first. Look for rows 30 and higher in sections 126-139 or rows 9-16 on the 400 level, which are under the overhang. Right field and the first-base side get mostly sun.
- Cheapest seats
- The rooftop bleachers and the outfield sections of the upper deck (400 level) cost the least. On the first-base side the upper deck has a break, so those seats sit nearer the field.
- Families
- Out in the outfield, Ashburn Alley has a play area for kids featuring a climbing wall and a wiffle ball field.
- Standing room
- The broad outfield concourse called Ashburn Alley offers standing room, food stands and a look into the bullpens. The concourse bars and the Rooftop Bleachers are other popular places to hang out.
