Field Box VIP

Home Plate VIP Seats: Sections 101–106 are known as Field Box VIP and sit directly behind home plate.
Near the Dugouts: Sections 107–109 sit closest to the Padres dugout, while Sections 108–110 are near the visitor dugout.

Who Should Sit Here
Field Box and Field Box VIP seats are perfect for fans who want excellent lower-level views near the field without the added cost of club-level amenities. These seats are a great option for passionate baseball fans who want to be close to the players and the infield action.
Box VIP Locations & Details
Field Box seating at Petco Park includes Sections 101 through 112, located along the infield between the bases.
These sections sit directly behind the Home Plate Club seating near the field and below the Premier Club sections above, placing them in an ideal spot for fans who want premium views without the additional club access costs.
The Field Box VIP seats are located in Sections 101–106, which sit directly behind home plate. These sections are positioned between two premium club areas, highlighting their prime location and excellent sightlines.
Sections 101 and 102 provide the most centered home plate perspective among the Field Box sections.
Views from the Field Box
Field Box seats provide a classic baseball viewing perspective close to the field.
Fans seated in these sections will have excellent views of home plate, the pitcher’s mound, and the bases, making it easy to follow every pitch and play throughout the game.
Because these seats sit between the dugouts and bases, fans can also enjoy player interactions and dugout activity throughout the game.
Dugout Locations
Fans hoping to sit near the teams should consider the following sections:
Sections 107–109 sit closest to the Padres dugout
Sections 108–110 sit closest to the visiting team dugout
For fans looking to sit directly behind the dugouts, specific rows provide the best vantage point.
Row 8 in Section 107 sits directly behind the Padres dugout
Row 8 in Section 108 sits directly behind the visitor dugout
These rows allow fans to watch players entering and exiting the dugout throughout the game.
Sun & Shade
Sun exposure can be a factor during day games at Petco Park.
Seats along the third base side (Visitor Side) typically move into the shade earlier during afternoon games, making them a popular choice for fans looking to avoid extended sun exposure.
Premium Upgrade Options
Fans looking to upgrade from the Field Box seats have premium options both closer to the field and just above this level.
Home Plate Club (Below) Located directly in front of the Field Box sections behind home plate, the Home Plate Club offers all-inclusive dining, luxury seating, and exclusive club access along with some of the closest seats in the stadium.
Premier Club (Above) Located just above the Field Box sections behind home plate, the Premier Club provides padded seating, in-seat service during Padres games, and access to the Lexus Club lounge.
These two club areas represent the next level of premium seating for fans looking for additional amenities beyond the Field Box experience.

Homeplate! We sat right behind home plate. Probably the best seats I've ever had at a ball game.
