Parking, bag policy, transit and history are on the main Yankee Stadium guide.
The pattern behind Yankee Stadium's section numbers
Yankee Stadium's first digit gives you the level, and the rest gives you the position around the field. The 0s and 100s are the Field Level, the 200s are the Main Level and the bleachers, the 300s are the Terrace and the 400s are the Grandstand. Within each level, two seating guides agree that the numbers rise from the right-field corner, around home plate, to the left-field corner. For most buyers, the best value is an infield seat on the Main Level, close to home plate and partly covered by the deck above.
The same pattern runs inside each section. Two seating guides agree that seat 1 sits on the right side of the section as you face the field, next to the lower-numbered neighboring section. If you need an aisle seat, ask for seat 1 or the highest number in the row.
- Low numbers: right-field side and the first-base line.
- Middle numbers: behind home plate.
- High numbers: third-base line and left field.
- Letter suffixes such as 014A or 114B mark split or added sections; treat them as part of the same position on the chart.
The Yankees use the first-base dugout, which puts the home team in front of the lower-numbered infield sections.
Field Level: Legends, the infield 100s and the netting
The Field Level is the lower bowl. Directly behind home plate, the Legends Suite sections (the 0-prefixed sections such as 014A through 027A) fill the first rows, the most expensive seats in the building. Behind and beside them, the 100s wrap from foul pole to foul pole.
Where the netting runs
Per the Yankees' policies page, protective netting runs from section 011 around behind home plate to section 029. Fans who want an unscreened view of the field, or a better shot at a foul ball, look just beyond those sections down the lines; fans with small children may prefer to stay inside them.
Picking a Field Level seat
- Infield 100s between the dugouts: the closest regular seats to the action, with the highest resale demand.
- Sections down the lines: still low and close, but angled toward the outfield.
- Outfield 100s: good for watching home runs land, especially toward the short right-field porch.
- Back rows: sit under the Main Level overhang, which helps with sun and rain but can cut off high fly balls.
Main Level: the 200s and their blind spots
The Main Level hangs over the back of the Field Level, so its front rows sit closer to the field than the chart makes them look. The infield 200s are the sweet spot: you see every defensive alignment, the back rows are covered, and the main concourse is steps away.
- Infield sections around home plate: the best all-around seats on this level.
- Ends near the foul poles: seating guides flag sections 205, 206, 233 and 234 for compromised sightlines. Check a seat view before buying there.
- Back rows: covered by the deck above and the first shaded seats at a day game.
Per the Yankees, sections 211, 225 and 226 on the Main Level include wheelchair-accessible seating.
Terrace and Grandstand: the 300s and 400s
The Yankees group these two upper rings together as the Terrace/Grandstand Level on their own maps. The 300s Terrace is a mid-height ring with wide views and little cover. The 400s Grandstand is the top deck, the highest and usually the lowest-priced reserved seats, with its back rows under the roof.
- Infield Terrace: a full view of the field at a step down in price from the Main Level.
- Grandstand behind home plate: high, but straight on, and covered toward the back.
- Section 414: seating guides flag parts of it for an overhang obstruction.
- Alcohol-free seating: sections 407A and 433 in the Grandstand, as two seating guides report. Confirm the designation with the Yankees before buying, since the team's policy page does not list them.
The Terrace is among the most sun-exposed areas in the building, so for an afternoon game, the covered back rows of the Grandstand are the better choice up top.
The bleachers: sections 201–204 and 235–239
The bleachers sit beyond the outfield fences and share the 200 numbering with the Main Level: sections 201 through 204 in right field and 235 through 239 in left. Section 203 is home of the Bleacher Creatures, the fans who open each game with a roll call of the Yankees' starting fielders. It is loud and partisan; it is not the place for a quiet afternoon or a visiting team's jersey.
- Right-field bleachers: the most energy, and the short porch sends home runs in their direction.
- Left-field bleachers: a little calmer, with a long view back to home plate.
- Sun: the bleachers are fully exposed, and the metal benches get hot in summer.
Per the Yankees, sections 203 and 235 through 237 include wheelchair-accessible seating, and Gate 8 elevators serve the bleachers.
Soccer, football and concerts
Yankee Stadium also hosts New York City FC on an interim basis, the Pinstripe Bowl and occasional concerts and outdoor games. For these events, the playing surface or stage sits on the field, and the best sections shift with it.
- Soccer and football: the pitch is laid out over the baseball field, so seats that are prime for baseball may sit near a corner or end line. Midfield sections, wherever the event map puts them, give the most balanced view.
- Concerts: seats facing the stage straight on at the Main Level or Terrace usually beat closer seats at a sharp side angle. Seats behind the stage are often closed or sold as limited view.
Always use the event-specific chart on the listing for these events.
