Grandstand 24 at Fenway Park

(2026 Review) - Historic Fenway Seating: One of the original seating areas of the ballpark featuring classic design elements like support poles and roof overhangs.    High Risk of Obstructed Views: Many seats have blocked or partially obstructed sightlines due to the historic stadium structure.    Excellent Weather Protection: The Grandstand sits fully under the stadium roof, providing some of the best shade and rain protection at Fenway Park.    Classic Ballpark Atmosphere: Old-style narrow seating and architecture give fans a true vintage Fenway experience.    Divided Seating Areas: Sections are typically categorized as Grandstand Infield or Grandstand Outfield.    Who Should Sit Here  Grandstand seats are best for fans who appreciate the historic character of Fenway Park and want to sit in one of the stadium’s original seating areas. These seats are popular with fans who value the classic ballpark atmosphere and protection from the elements, even if it means accepting the possibility of obstructed views.  Grandstand Location + Details  Grandstand seating wraps around much of the lower seating bowl at Fenway Park, sitting directly beneath the large roof structure that covers much of the stadium.  These sections are typically organized into two general groupings:  Grandstand Infield    Grandstand Outfield    Because Fenway Park opened in 1912, the Grandstand retains many original architectural elements that are rarely seen in modern stadiums. Support poles and tight seating layouts were common design features at the time and remain part of the Grandstand experience today.  Seats in this area are known for being narrower than most modern stadium seats, adding to the historic feel but sometimes creating a tighter seating environment.  Views from Grandstand Seats  Grandstand seats are known for having some of the most obstructed sightlines in Major League Baseball.  Support poles positioned throughout the sections can block views of different parts of the field, including home plate, the pitcher’s mound, second base, or the outfield, depending on the seat location.  Even seats that are not directly behind a pole may still have partial obstructions depending on where fans are looking during the game.  Because of this, fans who are concerned about obstructed views may prefer to focus on other seating areas at Fenway Park with clearer sightlines.  Why Fans Still Choose the Grandstand  Despite the sightline challenges, many fans still choose Grandstand seats because they capture the historic charm of Fenway Park better than any other section.  The low roof overhang, exposed steel beams, and support poles create an atmosphere that feels like stepping back into early 20th century baseball.  Another major benefit is protection from the weather. The Grandstand offers some of the best coverage in the ballpark, making it a popular option during rainy games or hot summer afternoons.  Families looking to sit in this area may prefer sections 26–27 or 11–12, which place fans closer to restrooms and concession areas.  Additional Grandstand Notes  Sections are typically grouped as Grandstand Infield and Grandstand Outfield    Sections 1–6 are covered but can still receive late afternoon sun    Grandstand seats on the third base side generally offer better sightlines than those on the first base side    Expect narrow seats and tight spacing, which are part of the historic Fenway design
