Baseball Review
Grandstand 27, Row 4, Seat 18

★★★★★

My view was pretty good considering I was rolling the dice on the Grandstand level not knowing if I would have a clear view to the field. I was at the far edge of the visitors dugout on the third base line, which meant I had to turn a bit to the right to watch the infield and the batters box. But the beams didn't impact my view, so I was pleasantly surprised with my seat. Under great cover, with excellent shade as well. The row is extremely large with 25 seats, so I definitely felt for the fans in the middle of the row knowing they had a long walk to get to and from the seats. If possible, stay towards the left aisle (higher numbered seats) as the views are better and you'll be closer to the aisle at the left. I was in a very good position at Seat 18, and wouldn't have wanted to be in a lower numbered seat. Legroom was very cramped for a guy with longer legs, so I wouldn't recommend these if you're taller and looking for a comfortable seat at Fenway. But as a bonus, there are some great concessions nearby just above Grandstand Section 29, and the men's room was right above our section.

In terms of location, the seats were fine overall, but seats 16 and 17 were blocked from seeing home plate by a column, so two of our guests couldn't see the batters.

Need to be a few seats in from the right aisle

Baseball Review
Grandstand 27

There is no espcaping an obstructed view in Grandstand 27 if you're looking by row number alone as even seats in Row 1 can have obstructed views near the right aisle. But if you can avoid the first 4 seats off the right aisle in any of the rows, you will be in great shape to see the entire infield without any limitation.

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

"Not as bad as most in grandstand "
(Grandstand 15) - ★★★ -
Sitting in the middle of the row seems to be the best bet here. Clear view of the infield and the one pole blocking RF is far enough away that it really isn't a bother.
