Who Should Sit Here
The View Level is a great option for fans looking for affordable tickets with impressive scenery around Oracle Park. While these seats sit high above the field, the elevated vantage point allows fans to take in both the game and the famous waterfront views that make Oracle Park unique.
These sections are especially appealing for fans who enjoy ballpark atmosphere and views of the Bay Area skyline as much as the on-field action.
View Level Location & Sections
The View Level refers to all 300 Level sections at Oracle Park, located on the highest seating tier in the stadium.
The name “View Level” refers less to the baseball sightlines and more to the beautiful surrounding scenery, including views of the San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge, and nearby mountains.
Sections 313–318, located behind home plate, typically offer the best field views on this level.
Each section is split into two seating areas:
Lettered rows (View Box) at the front of the section
Numbered rows (View Reserve) located up the stairs behind the entrance tunnel
Entrances are located above Row D, separating the lower lettered rows from the upper numbered rows.
View Box vs View Reserve
View Box Seats
The lettered rows at the front of each section are known as View Box seats. Despite the name, these are not traditional box seats with additional amenities.
However, they are desirable because they:
Sit closer to the field
Require shorter walks to the concourse
Provide better sightlines compared to higher rows
View Reserve Seats
The numbered rows behind the section entrance are known as View Reserve seats.
These rows sit higher in the section and are often valued for their spectacular views of the Bay Area, especially on the third base side of the stadium.
Shade + Sun Considerations
The sunniest seats at Oracle Park are located in the View Level sections down the left field line.
Sections 332–336 are particularly exposed during late afternoon games, receiving direct sunlight for much of the game.
Fans hoping to avoid the sun should consider sections closer to home plate or along the first base side, which tend to see shade earlier.
View Level Corner (Football)
- View Level Corner seats behind home plate in sections 314-321 offer a great view of the SF Bay, though the seats are farthest away from the football field. Most sections have 18 rows labeled 1-18.
View Level Infield (Baseball)
- The View Level is located on the highest tier of Oracle Park and houses some of the most affordable seating at the ballpark. The Infield sections of the View Level will have superior views to other options down the lines, but will also be slightly more expensive. At the front of the View Level Infield sections is the View Box which will have 7 lettered rows of seating (Rows A-G), and at the back is the View Reserve (Rows 1-18). Fans that prefer to be in the shade will want to be on the first base side which will see the sun first during afternoon games.

Better than I expected
I thought the players would look like little dots on the field and I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't. Good view of the field, comfortable seats and friendly, courteous neighbors. I'm 6'2" 200 lbs and I had enough room.
The forecast was sunny and 68 degrees and by the 3rd inning I was feeling pretty toasty in my jeans and t-shirt. I was really happy when the shade crept up on us in the 5th. With a nice breeze it was almost chilly.
One negative - there are MLB team pennants along the top of the stadium that make a LOT of noise when it's windy!

The views of the bay and the boats from these seats were a distraction from watching the game!
