Shaded and Covered Seating at Fenway Park

Covered Seats at Fenway Park

At most ballparks, knowing where covered seats begin and end is confusing. In most cases, only select rows in select sections are covered by a roof or an overhang. At Fenway Park, it's an all-or-nothing game. Either an entire section is covered or none of the section is covered.

If your seats are in one of the following sections, you're in luck! Your seats are covered and you should stay dry in the event of rain:

• All Pavilion Boxes (PB1-PB14)
• All Home Plate Pavilion Club sections
• All Dell Technologies Club sections
• All Grandstand sections (except GS33)

Note: Pavilion Club sections are often confused with Pavilion Boxes and Home Plate Pavilion Club. These sections are commonly labeled "PC" and are not covered.

Shaded Seats at Fenway Park

If you know which seats are covered at Fenway Park, you have a pretty good idea about which ones are shaded. Nearly all seats protected from the rain are also covered from the sunshine for 1:00 p.m. games.

All covered seating is also shaded except the following:

• Pavilion Boxes 11 & 13
• Front rows of Grandstand sections 1-4

In addition to the covered sections, shaded seats can be found around the infield in the Loge Boxes and even some Field Box sections. It's very unusual for some of the closest and best seats in a ballpark also to be shaded. But at Fenway Park, the Press Box and Club Seats behind home plate are stacked on top of each other and shade a number of seats around the infield. For 1:00 p.m. games, these include:

• Loge Boxes 123-136
• Upper half of Loge Boxes adjacent to 123 and 136
• Upper rows of Field Boxes 39-50

The seats listed above will be shaded for the duration of a 1:00 p.m. game. If you're seated closer to the field than what is listed, there's a good chance your seats will eventually be shaded. You might have to wait a few innings for relief.

Fan Comments

• It can be brutal sitting in the bleachers because none of the seats are in the shade.

  Sunscreen and a hat are a necessity for day games.

• Sit On the Third Base Side For Shade; Avoid the Outfield

  Submitted by a Fan
  The best seats at Fenway Park for being in the shade are in the Grandstand, especially on the third base side. These seats are covered from the elements even during early afternoon games. If you want to sit closer to the field, sit on the third base side to get the shade first and to have the sun behind you. Avoid the bleachers at all costs for late afternoon and evening games if you are sensitive to the sun.

  There is some amount of netting or screening in front of sections 9-79. The height and coverage of netting or screening will vary by section.

• How should I dress for Pavilion seats at Fenway Park?

  Answered by an RYS Expert · September 17, 2013

  The Pavilion Club seats are all located outside, but have access to the Pavilion Club lounge which is fully enclosed with views of the field should the weather get to be unbearable.

  There are two types of Pavilion Club seats, the Home Plate Pavilion (which is located directly behind home plate) and the regular Pavilion with sections that run from just beyond home plate to the shallow outfield on both sides of Fenway Park. The Homeplate Pavilion seats will be underneath the cover of the press box located above and will be better protected from any inclement weather.

  

• Is Section PC13 at Fenway Park outside or covered?

  All of section PC13 is located outside without an overhang above for shade or relief from rain.

  

  PB Sections

  If you are looking for some protection from the elements on the upper level of Fenway Park, consider rows C and higher in any of the PB sections as they have a roof above covering you from the sun and rain. Infield and Outfield grandstand sections also provide a roof above and are good options for relief from inclement weather.
