Yankee Stadium Seat Numbers
At Yankee Stadium, seat 1 is always closer to the lower-numbered adjacent section. For example, seat 1 in section 425 would be closest to seat 24 in section 424.
Typically, the best seats are closer to the home plate. Going by that logic, if you’re on the left-field line, you’d want a seat with a lower seat number, and on the right-field line, you’d look for a higher seat number. (So remember, don’t think of seat and row numbers as the same thing.)
Yankee Stadium Dimensions and Capacity
The following dimensions are from Home Plate:
- 52 ft to the Backstop
- 318 ft to Left Field
- 399 ft to Left Center
- 408 ft to Center
- 385 ft to Right Center
- 314 ft to Right Field
The new Yankee Stadium seats 50,086 (the third-most in MLB) and has a maximum capacity of 52,325 when standing-room-only tickets are included.
Legends Suite, Champions Suite, and Field Levels at Yankee Stadium (00s and 100s)
- These are the best seats in the stadium, without a doubt. Tickets for Premium games in the front row (Legends) seats can sell for over $1,000.
- For less popular games, you can pick up cheaper Field Level Tickets in the double digits.
- Pricing for field-level seats becomes exponentially higher the closer you get to home plate.
- Sections 14a through 27a are the Legends Suites. Legends Suite tickets include a private stadium entrance, all-inclusive food, and nonalcoholic beverages at the Legends Suite Club, which provides fine dining options and cooking stations, In-seat wait service, access to the bi-level Legends Suite Club, Cutwater Lounge, and DraftKings Sportsbook Lounge, and more.
- Champions Suite sections are located just beyond the first and third base, next to Legends Suites. Champions Suite tickets include a private stadium entrance, all-inclusive food and nonalcoholic beverages in the Cutwater Lounge or DraftKings Sportsbook Lounge, In-seat wait service, and more.
- The visitor’s dugout is below sections 22-25, and the Yankees’ dugout is below sections 14-17.
Protective Netting on Field Level
Yankee Stadium has had netting on the field level since the 2018 season. It provides additional protection for fans in the field-level sections that have previously been at risk of errant foul balls or even bats putting them in harm’s way.
Per the official release from the Yankees:
“Beyond the dugout, netting will extend to Section 011 on the first-base side and Section 029 on the third-base side. The netting in these locations will rise to eight feet above the playing field (approximately 5.5 feet above the wall surrounding the field of play) and remain in place from the start of batting practice through the end of the game. These sections of netting may be removed for soccer matches or other events held at Yankee Stadium.”
Early indications suggest that this was done to provide safety for fans without compromising the clear sightlines or views from their premium seats at the stadium. So rest assured, Yankees fans. Lower-level seats will be more protected, but you’ll still have great views.
Terrace and Main Levels at Yankee Stadium (200s and 300s)
- These middle-level seats offer a great vantage point without breaking the bank.
- Prices vary drastically from as little as $42 to as much as $150 on the Yankees website.
- You can’t go wrong with any Main Level Seats, although I’d recommend seats in sections 213, 214, 223, or 224. The views are similar to those of seats closer to the infield, but at half the price.
- The same goes for sections 312 and 328 on the Terrace Level.
- However, be wary of sections 205, 206, 233, & 234 because some sight lines are obstructed.
- Delta Sky360 Suites – Combines a private seating area with benefits offered by an indoor, full-service bar and upscale dining options. Located behind home plate and on the 200 level of the stadium
- Behind home plate, the Terrace Level seats are called Jim Beam Premium Seats.
- Jim Beam Premium Seats: Located in sections 317-323, these seats offer an alternate entrance, exclusive food and restrooms, padded seats, and a great bird’s-eye view of the stadium. The Jim Beam Suite Seats are among your best bets, unless you prefer a more affordable, lower seat.
Bleacher Seats at Yankee Stadium
- Seats in the bleachers are the most economical way to see the Yankees (as is the case for most MLB games). These seats may not be the best, but they attract a fun-loving crowd that shares the love and camaraderie of baseball.
- The “Bleacher Creatures” occupy section 203 and are the most passionate (and usually intoxicated) Yankee fans. These seats are meant for a rowdy time, and participating in ‘Roll Call‘ is an excellent Yankee Tradition.
- On a good day, the sun shines in your eyes, so be sure to bring a hat and sunglasses.
- The Away Bullpen is just below sections 237 and 238 and is part of FreshDirect Terrace—perfect for hecklers.
- The Yankees’ Bullpen is just below section 202 and part of the Toyota Terrace.
- If you’re looking for Bleacher seats, the best deals can be found by buying tickets without hidden fees on TickPick
The Grandstand (400) Level at Yankee Stadium
- The Grandstands are positioned on the fourth (the highest) level of Yankee Stadium and wrap almost the entirety of the stadium.
- These are the second-cheapest seats you can get besides the bleachers.
- Pro Tip: If you don’t drink, sit at the Grandstand Level in Sections 407A and 433 (alcohol-free seats). You’ll likely find yourself in a quieter state of company.
- Pro Tip 2: Section 414 is labeled obstructed view. From personal experience, I know that only really high fly balls are obstructed because of the overhang. If you’re on a tight budget, consider these tickets, as they can often be up to $ 20 cheaper than more expensive, yet similar, seats.
- Grandstand seat prices are split between the outfield and infield, with outfield seats costing around $33 per game and infield seats costing $50.
- Tickets are available from the Yankees’ official website, but because regular-season baseball tickets rarely sell out, they typically sell for less on secondary markets like Tickpick.
- Even in what are expected to be nosebleed seats, section 434b (literally the corner seats of the grandstands), turned out to be better than expected. From personal experience, I can say that we had a decent view with no obstructions and lots of shade.
- The downside to sitting in the outfield Grandstands is that you have a partial view of the main screen, and deep left field balls are hard to follow when everyone in front of you suddenly stands up and tries to follow them.
General Admission Areas at Yankee Stadium
The FreshDirect Terrace and the Toyota Terrace were added to Yankee Stadium in 2017. They are in center field on each end of the Batter’s Eye Deck. These areas are open to all ticket holders throughout the game and are great for fans who buy bleacher seats.
One major tip we’ve received from some Yankees fans is that fans who don’t mind hanging out on the terrace and ignoring their seats should look to purchase tickets at the absolute cheapest get-in price and head straight to one of the terraces. This will give you access to the open-air terrace amenities, including the entire bar with unique food options, rails to eat and drink, power outlets to charge your phone, and quick and easy access to the bathrooms on the bleacher level.
Arrive a little early to secure a standing spot up against the rails, which provides the best views of the stadium from this area and ensures you and your party have plenty of space to relax during your time there.

Covered Seating at Yankee Stadium
Looking for a shady area for a New York Yankees home game? This section is for you.
Shaded seats change depending on the time of day. You can find covered seating at Yankee Stadium at the back of each level. However, the only area near the field with covered seating is at the back of the 100s sections. Seats along the 3rd baseline typically offer shade by mid-game and provide more protection from the sun than those seats on the 1st baseline.
For 1pm games, most covered seats will also be shaded until at least the 6th inning. We suggest avoiding seats in home run territory because even if they’re covered, you’ll be hit by the harsh sun. Also, to avoid the sun, don’t sit in the bleachers or choose seats behind home plate or around the infield.
ADA Seating at Yankee Stadium
For those who require wheelchair access and/or those looking to attend a game at Yankee Stadium with someone who does, there is some important information that you’ll want to know. If you’re seeking ADA seating, there are accessible rows at the top of most sections within the ballpark and spread throughout.
If necessary, folding chairs are provided for guests, such as those who require wheelchair access and would like to sit with a fan. One trick you can use to filter tickets that are ADA accessible is to use our “Additional filters +” button on the event page, which allows you to select “ADA (wheelchair accessible). ” This shows all the seats the seller has marked as accessible for people with disabilities.
Parking at Yankee Stadium
There are plenty of official parking spots surrounding Yankee Stadium, with over 9,000 official parking spaces and thousands more in public lots within walking distance from the ballpark (with some located closer than others).
You’re welcome to opt for street parking, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find any parking spots available for Yankees games.
Public Transportation to Yankee Stadium
Fans have multiple options for public transportation to Yankee Stadium, including the subway, bus, and train.
If you want to take the subway, the 4 train and D train stop at the 161st/Yankee Stadium subway station across the street from the stadium. The B train is also available, but is limited to weekdays only.
The Bx6 and Bx13 buses stop at East 161st St. and River Ave for fans looking to take the bus. The BxM4 stops at the Grand Concourse, East 161st St., and East 158th St. The Bx1 and Bx2 buses stop at East 161st St. and the Grand Concourse.
If you’re taking the train to The Stadium, the Metro-North Railroad drops fans off at the Yankees-East 153rd St station.
