Each section has a varying number of rows and seats per row. If you already have tickets, find your seats for row and seat numbers.
The home dugout is located near sections 137, 138, 139, 140 and 141.
As you face the field from your seats, lower number seats are on your right.
Section 103 is an outfield section that does receive its share of home run balls. Having said that, it's likely that other fans will get their hands on a home run ball far before it has a chance to get to you or your toddler. Furthermore, very few balls are hit far enough to reach past Row 20. So if you are sitting in a higher row, there are few safety concerns.
Perhaps of greater concern is being in one of the outfield sections for a Friday night game. Section 103 is connected to the outfield concourse which attracts a heavy-drinking crowd for weekend night games. Your child is far more likely to come home with a new vocabulary than a bruise from a baseball.
For the 2017 baseball season, sections 128-136 behind home plate will have some level of netting in front of them. Previously, the netting only spanned from sections 130-134. The amount and coverage of netting will vary by section.
***Update: The White Sox have added netting in front of all 100 level sections in foul territory.
All individual seats at Guaranteed Rate Field are standard stadium seats. If you are looking for more leg room, we would suggest looking at seats that are in the first row or on the aisle. This will typically leave more space to stretch out during a game. If you are someone who is looking for a wider space, we suggest looking at the bleacher seating located in the outfield. This area does not have arm rests between seats and allows for fans to have more space as long as the stadium is not sold out.
The bleacher seats at Guaranteed Rate Field are not general admission. Every ticket will have an assigned row and number. Since the bleachers are not individual seats, that number represents an assigned space on the bench for the ticket holder.
