Unlike other sports where people are only allowed to use the aisles during stoppage of play, some stadiums let fans use them at any time. For this reason, we always suggest the aisle seats on the outfield side of the section. These are great questions because weather elements can really have an effect on your experience at the ballpark. The answer to these questions are always unique to the stadium. Older stadiums like Wrigley Field and Fenway Park typically have large overhangs that cover and protect a lot of seats from Mother Nature.
The downside to this is all the poles that are used to support those overhangs which could lead to obstructed views. Newer stadiums have done away with these poles and large overhangs. While seats may have better views, they are also left exposed to the rain or sun depending on the weather.
The best way to check to see if your seats are protected from the elements is to use our Shade and Cover tool. Have thoughts about seating for a baseball game? Let us know! Where to Sit for a Hockey Game.
Where to Sit for a Football Game. Where to Sit for a Basketball Game. Where to Sit For a Soccer Match. Every baseball stadium is different from the next. So how do you choose where to sit? Oracle Park pictured above sits right on McCovey Cove and features a large right field, on-field bullpens, and scenic views from the upper level.
It is easy to see why this view is so desirable. The action is right on your lap with sight lines across the entire field. At Busch Stadium, you even get a great view of the video board and Gateway Arch as a backdrop! While fans may be higher up, they are not out of reach for right handed hitters who often send balls soaring into these seats. Early arriving fans at Coors Field will have plenty of opportunities to catch balls during batting practice.
The team may not be worth a trip to Baltimore, but the ballpark certainly is. Wrigley Field: Nowhere else in baseball to watch a Friday afternoon game.
Literally, nowhere else. Go when the ivy is green for maximum Wrigley Effect. Petco Park: True to the locale, it's the most relaxing park in baseball to watch a game. Not to mention its unmatched beer and food selections. Kauffman Stadium : As someone who's spent all his life on one coast or the other, The K is a gem of the Midwest. Everything about it just feels true to the area and baseball history.
It was close. Jason Bay threw me a baseball between innings. Treat yourself to a day game there, with the sun shining behind the Roberto Clemente Bridge that crosses over the Allegheny River. Wrigley Field: Going to Wrigley Field is about more than just seeing the game; you get the atmosphere of a community gathering in the middle of a neighborhood. Catching a midweek afternoon game there in the heart of summer is about as traditional as Major League Baseball can get in the 21st century.
Yankee Stadium: My dad and I had season tickets for the inaugural season of the new Yankee Stadium in , after also being season-ticket holders for the last five or so years of the old stadium. Really, it's not the most beautiful stadium, and everything is far too expensive. But it's the stadium that helped shape my relationship with baseball and my dad. Busch Stadium: My dad is a huge Cardinals fan, so he and I went to the old Busch Stadium in its final season and then went to see the new Busch Stadium a few years later.
I love the Gateway Arch hanging over the stadium and how the whole city seems to turn out for a game. Comerica Park: Perhaps an underrated pick, I went to Comerica Park on another ballpark road trip with my dad, and it was just a great time.
I enjoyed the design around the stadium, with Tigers sculpted into the building. Tropicana Field. Angel Stadium. Marlins Park. Petco Park. Citi Field. Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Guaranteed Rate Field. Kauffman Stadium. Minute Maid Park.
SunTrust Park. Nationals Park. Safeco Field. Comerica Park. Miller Park. Coors Field. Busch Stadium. Target Field. PNC Park. Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Wrigley Field. On a channel that no longer exists called Sports Channel. I remember it from that. Well lucky for me we get to see the games live most of the time and today my team is playing so with a bit of luck they will win and that will make my day.
Great list. An absolute gem of a ballpark. Nothing more cool or exciting than a splash hit into McCovey Cove or watching the game for free thru the RF fence. Both are impressive. No McCovey Cove, but still pretty nice. Enduring Wanderlust.
