Seat Ratings Mentioning Shade/Cover
"A Lot Going on in These Seats" - ★★★★
Section 8, Row 13, Seats 13-16
First off, 24 seats in a row in a lower level section on the infield is unacceptable. These seats were in the middle of the row, which made getting in and out a pain -- even on a day when the stadium was virtually empty. Seat 1 is on right, farther from home plate, while Seat 24 is closer to home plate.
Besides for the long row issue, these seats are phenomenal. You are looking directly at the small scoreboard in left field (though the foul pole blocks part of it), and the main scoreboard in CF is a quick turn of the head to the right. You also have a great view of downtown Miami in the opening in LF, and of the tropical feature in left-center that goes off when the Marlins hit a homer (they didn't on this night). You are just a touch past first base. All plays on the infield are right in front of you and all plays in the outfield (except very deep in RF) are easy to see. Keep in mind that there are about ten lettered rows before these numbered rows begin.
In addition to the view, the intangibles of these seats are hard to beat. The group I was with was featured on the main jumbotron no fewer than five times. The camera well is just twenty rows in front of you and is very active in these seats above the visitor's dugout. Additionally, one foul ball was caught three rows up and another literally landed in Section 8, Row 13, Seat 13. In other words, this is a very active section for foul balls, especially from right-handed batters. Plus, if you look up, you are underneath the roof. So for evening games you are always in the shade and for late afternoon games you will get shade well before fans on the first base side.
Concessions are so-so. If you can't read Spanish, you might be frustrated that the menu board (it is a video screen) changes back and forth from English to Spanish. The nacho chips are cardboard, but the queso almost makes up for it. The women's restroom is closer than the men's restroom, but there were plenty of urinals to get you in and out of the men's room quickly.
Overall, if I was buying season tickets at Marlins Park, this would be one of the first sections I would consider. Spending 81 games a season in these seats wouldn't be so bad, though I'd make sure to get aisle seats. ...More
"Great Spot on the Legends Level" - ★★★★
Section 210, Row 8, Seats 5-6
Super comfortable seats. Big chair with a lot of legroom. From this section, the entire infield is right in front of you. Phenomenal views from the 200 level.
Food and drink nearby. Bathrooms are also a few sections away. Bathrooms are actually pretty nice, clean and uncrowded.
Could have used in-seat wait service since the single food stand serves multiple sections and the line was pretty long....More
"Good angle, comfortable spot " - ★★★★★
Section 4, Row 26, Seats 17-18
Moved down to these seats after grabbing churros nearby. Even on a Saturday night there was no one within 5 rows. Allowed for a comfortable spot and plenty of room.
Seats have a good angle to the field for being so far in the outfield. That plus being higher up makes it easy to see the whole field.
Just a couple rows from plenty of concessions for nice convenience....More
"Directly Behind Home Plate" - ★★★★★
Section 14, Row 23
Five star seats all around. You really can't do much better than this. Directly behind home plate with elevation.
Higher row pushes you away from the field, but it also means you're covered and shaded when the roof is open. Also means that you're just a couple steps from the concourse. So it's very easy to get a snack in between innings and get back to your seat!...More
"Sit with MLB scouts" - ★★★★★
Section 15, Row B
This line of seats are dead center behind home plate and perfect for game action and analysis. Many MLB scouts sit in rows just behind in same seat line. Seats on aisle are perfectly center and at perfect height. It is true 2nd row of section and less than 10 rows to field. Rows closer are too low at field level as these are first to rise in height....More
"Good seats" - ★★★★
Section 22, Row 28
Underneath the vents, so kind of loud, but good overall. Comfortable view of the whole field and videoboard.
Roof is closed today, but seats are fully covered and would be shaded and much cooler than most.
Best thing about being in a higher row is that food and restrooms are directly behind....More
