Seating guide
- Best views
- The best sightlines are in the infield sections of the Field Level and the Lower Main Level (200s) behind the plate. Up in the Grandstand (400s) behind home, you get a lofty view of the entire field.
- Shade & cover
- The lower levels' back rows sit under the overhangs of the decks above. During a day game, the first-base side gives you a better chance of shade, while the bleachers have hardly any cover.
- Cheapest seats
- The least expensive seats are the upper Grandstand (400 level) and the outfield bleachers. The bleachers are benches, and from some of them you can't see parts of the outfield.
- Families
- In right field on the 300 level, the Kids Clubhouse offers a mini field to play on, and there's a nursing room close by.
- Standing room
- The main concourse is ringed with drink-rail spaces and standing-room spots, most of them under cover. Many fans gather in the Great Hall behind home plate.
