Where in Yankee Stadium are the best seats?
The new Yankee Stadium, which was constructed for more than two billion dollars, is an astonishing fusion of avant-garde design with contemporary amenities. The overhanging third deck from the old ballpark, for example, did not transfer exactly to the new stadium, but the new Yankee Stadium still has some of the top seats in all of baseball.
Look no farther than seats on the second level, particularly those close to the infield, if you’re going to a Yankees game and getting the finest view is of the utmost importance to you. These seats may be among the greatest in any stadium hosting a major league baseball team, not just Yankee Stadium.
A great balance of height and distance from the field is what makes the 200 level at Yankee Stadium so beautiful. These seats hang over the lower seating bowl, a design element that has been popular in ballparks with a throwback aesthetic. The second seating deck can then be located closer to the field and provides shade and cover for the seats below. But unlike most stadiums, Yankee Stadium’s primary seating bowl has fewer than 30 rows of seats. The lower bowl of most stadiums with an overhanging deck has 40 rows or more. Sections like 214-226 feel as though they are actually on top of the field because they are 10 rows closer to the field and lower to the ground. To promote the impression that you are as close to the field as possible, if you are seated in one of the lowest rows of these sections, you might not even be able to see the field level seats below you. The 200 level seats provide the greatest sightlines at a Yankees game, whether you’re sitting in the infield, down the line, or in the outfield. Just be careful not to confuse them with the 200s-labeled bleacher sections.
You can’t go wrong with anything on the lower level behind home plate when it comes to viewing areas within Yankee Stadium. The main issues with these seats are that the net gets in the way, they could be too low to the ground, and, oh yeah, they can be very pricey. By getting tickets a little farther from home plate, where the netting is out of the way (the net runs from section 011 to 029) and ticket costs are a little more reasonable, you can avoid two of these problems.
All tickets on the first two seating levels are probably out of your price range if a view of home plate is vital to you and you want to keep within a budget. Due to their status as club seats, all home plate tickets inside these sections are priced more. You will then need to look at the 300- and 400-level sections of the tickets. We favor rows 2 and up in sections 318-322 out of these. You will get a fantastic view of the field and the scoreboard from these seats, which are just a few steps down from the concourse. Unfortunately, the glass in front of the first row of the 300 level is very disruptive because there are problems with the railings on the 200 level.
- Avoid sitting in the first two and last three rows of the 200-level seats; railings and signage block views from the lower rows, and rows 20 and upwards have an overhang that can be distracting.
- In particular, sections 201 and 239 have been replaced by a single bar and seating area that is accessible to all ticketholders in place of the majority of the stadium’s obstructed view seats.
The Yankee Stadium Seating Chart Layout
There are essentially four tiers at Yankee Stadium. Other levels go just past the foul poles, while the field level goes all the way out to the outfield and behind the bullpens. In general, the mezzanine is the club and suite level (which I’ll cover in a later post), and the top tier is the Terrace-Grandstand level. The Main level is located immediately above the field level.
Behind the Field Level seating in the outfield, but on either side of the 1893 Club in center field, are bleacher seats.
As you walk from the “Main Level Infield” to the “Main Level Outfield,” for example, you frequently notice steep price cuts. Price fluctuations become very considerable as the seating moves towards the outfield. This is understandable because, particularly in the top tiers, the seats outside of Yankee Stadium don’t provide the best views.
To assist you select a seat and take in the scenery, the Yankees have created a fantastic online seating map. Don’t go yet, though! You should be aware of a few things initially.
Field Level Seating
Yankee Stadium’s Field Level seats, which are located behind the first nine rows of Legends Suite seats in the infield and are all the way down close to the field, are quite nice, complete with padding. More so than the padded seats in many ballparks, I’m talking about cushioning that is actually comfy. The cushioning extends even to the seats in the outfield (and can be reasonable for some games).
The Main Level’s overhang covers the highest rows of Field Level seats, particularly those in the outfield. The scoreboards are barely visible in the highest rows. If this is important to you, I would steer clear of anything over Row 12 or so.
The Field Box MVP seats in the infield are far more expensive than the Field Box outfield tickets, which are now less than half as expensive. Even more money must now be spent on the lower infield seats “Seats in the Field MVP Club come with wait service and additional perks like access to the gleaming Field Box MVP Club.
Right field’s section 104 is where the three rows of “Aaron Judge’s honorary chambers are known as Judge’s Chambers. Selected spectators are given robes to wear and gavels to pound on the bench while they sit there wearing Judge jerseys. Really cool If you find yourself here, please send me a selfie.
Main Level Seating
The Main Level is the second tier. These tickets are about a third of what people pay for Field Box, although they aren’t much higher or farther back than Field Level seats. Some fly balls to the overhang will miss the back rows of the Main Level, but that is probably not a major concern. But once more, you risk missing the scoreboard in the outfield.
The best Main Level tickets at this price point are Sections 214 and 226. The Delta Sky360 seats (that’s what they’re called today, at least) behind home plate cost more because they also include club access and popcorn. You might pay as little as half of what people in the section above paid in Section 226. You will have enough of money left over to try any culinary item at Yankee Stadium.
Even in the outfield, main level seats can cost more than you’d anticipate, but they are definitely less expensive than the Field Level. If I had the option, I might spend an extra $30 or so for a comfortable seat. For Main level seats, there are three price tiers; on game day, the difference between Sections 213 and 209 might be $30 or more.
For a reasonable ticket, you may acquire a seat in Section 234 on the Main Level as well as all the hot dogs, pretzels, sausage, and Pepsi products you can consume up until the fifth inning. Eat quickly.
Terrace Level Seating
There aren’t many Terrace Level seats in the infield, but those that are there are Jim Beam suites with club access and cost much more. They are on the bottom tier of the upper level and are far more expensive than the Grandstand seats above them. However, these seats aren’t terrible for the money once you get past the Jim Beam sections.
At this height, it matters that the Terrace level is closer to the action than the Grandstand. For MasterCard holders, the Yankees actually offer some excellent discounts on Terrace level seats, including $5 weeknight games in April. Even if you might be in the far reaches for $5, it’s still a great price to merely enter the stadium.
Sections 305 and 306the two sections farthest to the rightare currently more “All You Care to Eat sections” (and these are cheaper than the ones on the Main Level). Again, there are only dogs, sausages, pretzels, and Pepsi goods, but if you’re not picky, it can help you save some money.
The Youngsters Clubhouse, located on the upper level in right field, is a fantastic place for kids to burn off some energy before (or during) the game. If you’re on a budget with your family, this is a good place to sit.
There are 16 elevators in Yankee Stadium, eight of which are in the Great Hall, so there’s no need to climb all the way up the steep ramps or stairs if you don’t feel up to it.
Grandstand Level Seating
As fantastic a value as any in the park, the Grandstand upper deck tickets cost approximately the same as the bleacher seats but have a much quieter atmosphere and a superior view of the incredible Jumbotron and the rest of the ballpark. Even though they are the poorest tickets in the ballpark, you can now find $10 Grandstand seats in the outfield for the majority of games.
Grandstand seating is less terrifying because it isn’t as steep as it was in the old Stadium, but it is also slightly farther away and very high up. In the infield, this isn’t much of an issue, but if you get past the bases, binoculars might be necessary.
Seeing the frieze from the top of the stadium is pleasant because it lets you know that the rain has already covered you. Your view may be obstructed by Plexiglas in the first few rows, and seats down the aisle may have less visibility due to fans and railings. The Grandstand sections are divided into 14 rows, which should help you determine how close your tickets are to the top.
Some Grandstand tickets will be labeled as having a “obstructed view” on the Yankees website, which means there may be a railing or traffic in front of you. If you have no other choice but to accept the tickets, it can be frustrating but usually not bad enough.
As of this writing, Sections 407A and 433 at Yankee Stadium are the areas that are alcohol-free; they are far away, but it’s a fantastic spot to take the kids (remember the play area in right field) and is reasonably priced.
Yankee Stadium Bleachers + Bleacher Creatures
Although there are now either bullpens or considerably more costly field level seats in front of them, the Yankees still have the harsh metal, backless bleacher seats from the original Stadium.
With no backs, the seating isn’t as clearly defined, so you can be sharing your seat with your neighbor’s cheek. They might be unpleasant for extended periods of time. You’ll have to leave the area to get a beverage because vendors are not allowed here.
Although bleacher tickets are often the most affordable and tend to sell out quickly, the view is good and you are situated fairly close to the bullpens. So it’s a fair offer. But this is New York, and the right field bleachers in particular aren’t frequently a place for someone wearing bunny ears or equipment from the rival team.
During daytime games here, it may get quite warm. Bring a hat and sunscreen, smart move.
The ambience in the left and right field bleachers is unique. There are typically more families and less noise in seats in left field. The Bleacher Creatures and other trash talkers call the seats in right field home. Each night, they perform the “roll call,” chanting each player’s name once the Yankees take the field until the player waves or tips his cap in response. Sections 202 and 203 are where the Bleacher Creatures are located.
The Yankees have turned sections 201 and 239 into designated standing room only areas, so you won’t be unable to see half the field.
The Audi Club and the 1893 Club in center field are accessible if you can locate a cheap Grandstand or Bleacher ticket from a season ticket holder. And since you’ve stayed with me this far, here’s a butt-kicking insider tip. Although the cuisine at the Audi Club is pricey, you can get a lunch with a view of the stadium for a reasonable price here. The 1893 is a perfect place to seek shelter from the weather while still treating yourself to a drink.
Handicapped Seating
The accessibility of Yankee Stadium is really well thought out. The handicapped seating at Yankee Stadium is somewhat removed from the action, but because the sections are on an elevated platform, people’s views are not obstructed when they stand up to applaud. There are plenty of places in the top decks as well, but handicapped seating is considerably better on the Field Level. The view is still rather pleasant if you stick close to the infield.
The Yankees have a page on their website specifically for disabled fans, complete with contact information and advice on storing wheelchairs. The Hard Rock Cafe and Monument Park, among other attractions, both offer elevators or accessible ramps. The elevators in this building are spacious and operate promptly.
Standing Room in Yankee Stadium
After purchasing an inexpensive ticket, the Stadium is now a lot nicer place to stroll around because the Yankees just added extra spaces to the assigned standing room areas that already existed in the ballpark.
There are areas for socializing on either side of the 1893 Club, which is now in center field, on the recently renovated MasterCard Batter’s Eye Deck above the 1893, and on the terrace level’s outside margins, where the Budweiser Party Decks are located. Now, each of these locations has drink rails, barstool seating, phone chargers, and unique menu items like craft brews.
The outfield areas are the once obstructed-view Sections 201 and 239 of the bleachers. If you want to cheer someone on, the visitor’s bullpen is in left field, and these look out over the team bullpens. You might still need to choose a location where you can’t see the eatery.
With the Pinstripe Pass, an inexpensive ticket that includes your first beer or Pepsi product, you can enter Yankee Stadium for a very low price. Any of the places I just mentioned are good places to hang out. (Read some advice on standing room at Yankee Stadium.)
There are three levels of allotted standing room in addition to the all-access: on the Field Level (cafe seating), Main Level, and Terrace Level. Field level appears pricey in the lower concourse areas, but includes table and bar stools (and restricted to ticket holders).
However, standing room is particularly difficult on the Terrace level because it is located behind the frequently used handicapped chairs. Get the Pinstripe Pass and enjoy the free drink because you’ll probably find the view to be so unpleasant that you’ll want to find somewhere else.
Yankee Stadium boasts wide concourses, which means there are many locations to watch the game from your feet if your seat isn’t everything you hoped it would be.
The Best Seats for Shade at Yankee Stadium
There aren’t many alternatives for shade in the seats at Yankee Stadium. The top level seating in right field and the bleachers will receive the last shade during night games because the sun sets on the third base side. In right field, you’ll also be looking directly into the sun.
For daytime games, the majority of the Main (200) and Terrace (300) level seats won’t be covered, and the bleachers will always be exposed to the sun (remember, they’re metal). In the top six or seven rows of the Main Level, you might have some cover.
The Main Level on the Field Level covers the higher rows (about 15 and up), but be mindful of any potential view issues. The scoreboards are less useful the closer you are to the outfield.
If you’re afraid of heights, spend some money on the upper rows of the Main Level instead. Rows 6 and above of the Grandstand (400) level are covered by the roof overhang and frieze and typically provide shade and cover even in day games.
