    Section 197, Row 3, Seats 1,2

    I loved where my boyfriend and I sat. Whenever the players were in the outfield, they were practically right in front of us. We both agreed it was a great view.

    • Bleacher Seats

      -

      Home Run Territory: Prime seating for catching home run balls — best chances near the corners.    Full Outfield Coverage: Sections run from right field (101-111) to left field (189-197).    Closest to the Bullpens: Cardinals bullpen in right field (107-109), visitors in left field (189-191).    Bench-Style Seating: Bleacher seats with back support but no armrests.    High Sun Exposure: One of the least shaded areas in Busch Stadium.    Who Should Sit Here  Outfield Bleachers are ideal for fans looking for a fun, energetic atmosphere and a chance to catch a home run ball. These seats are popular with fans who prioritize experience and value over comfort and shade.  Outfield Bleachers Locations & Details  Outfield Bleachers at Busch Stadium run from right field to left-center field, covering sections:  101-111 in right field    189-197 in left field    All bleacher sections are odd-numbered, creating a continuous stretch of seating across the outfield.  These seats are positioned directly above the bullpens:  Cardinals bullpen: beneath Sections 107-109    Visitor bullpen: beneath Sections 189-191    This location gives fans a close-up look at pitchers warming up throughout the game.  Seating is bench-style, meaning there are no individual seat dividers or armrests, but each spot includes a backrest for added comfort.  Views from Outfield Bleachers  Views from the Outfield Bleachers provide a straight-on look at the field from the outfield, with proximity to home run territory.  While these seats are farther from home plate, they offer a great perspective on outfield play and give fans a chance to track fly balls coming their way.  For the best chance at catching a home run, fans should look toward sections closer to the foul poles, where more balls tend to land.  What to Expect  The biggest drawback of the Outfield Bleachers is sun exposure.  These sections receive very little shade throughout the day, making them one of the hottest seating areas during summer games.  For fans who don’t mind the heat, these seats offer a lively environment, strong value, and one of the best chances to bring home a souvenir baseball.  Additional Notes  Prior to the 2015 season, these sections were numbered in the 500 level (e.g., 591 instead of 191) before being renumbered to the current 100-level format.

      Highest concentration of home run balls, especially in the first three rows. Sections 171-197 see the most homers from right-handers. Sections 127-128 see the most homers from left-handers

    • For Baseball - Recommended For Partying and Socializing

      -

      Close access to one of the best selections of beverages at Busch Stadium. Close to the 1876 Bar, Whiskey and Vodka bars and margaritas. Fun outfield atmosphere without as much direct sun as in RF
