Section 512 at Rate Field

(2026 Review) - Cheapest Seats at Rate Field: Upper Reserved sections typically offer the lowest ticket prices for White Sox games.    Steep Upper Deck: Upper Reserved seats are located high on the 500 Level and require climbing some of the steepest stairs in the ballpark.    Hidden Value Near the Infield: Sections 516-520 and 544-548 offer similar views to Upper Box seats at a lower price.    Fireworks Hotspot: Sections 516-520 provide excellent views of the postgame fireworks shows.    Some Covered Rows: The last rows of the upper deck sit under an overhang for shade and weather protection.    Who Should Sit Here  Upper Reserved seats are ideal for budget-conscious fans looking to attend a White Sox game for the lowest possible price. These sections are also appealing for fans who enjoy a high vantage point of the entire field and don't mind sitting far from the action.  Upper Reserved Location & Details  Upper Reserved seating includes the outermost sections of the 500 Level, including 506-520 and 544-558.  These sections are positioned farther down the lines and toward the corners of the upper deck, which places them farther from home plate than the nearby Upper Box sections (522-542) located behind the infield.  Because of this location, Upper Reserved tickets are typically among the cheapest in the ballpark, while still providing a full view of the field from the upper deck.  Sections 516-520 and 544-548 sit closest to the infield edges of the Upper Reserved area, giving them slightly better sightlines toward home plate compared to the far corner sections.  All Upper Reserved sections sit farther from home plate than the nearby Upper Box sections, which is why they are typically priced lower.  Upper Reserved Views  Views from Upper Reserved seats are very high above the field, particularly in sections 506-508 and 556-558, which sit in the far corners of the upper deck.  While these seats are extremely distant, the angle toward home plate is still fairly good for upper-level seating, allowing fans to follow the overall action on the field.  Sections 516-520 stand out as one of the better areas in this zone. In addition to providing a slightly better viewing angle toward the field, these sections also offer excellent views of the fireworks shows after select games.  Steep Stairs  Fans sitting in the Upper Reserved sections should be prepared for a noticeable climb. Like most upper decks built in this era, the seating bowl is fairly steep, and rows extend high above the concourse. While the angle helps maintain decent sightlines to the field, it also means fans in higher rows will need to navigate a significant number of stairs to reach their seats. These sections may not be the best choice for fans who prefer minimal walking or easier access to the concourse.  Recommended Seats  Fans attending afternoon games should consider sitting on the first base side, where shade typically reaches these sections earlier.  Those looking for the best value views in Upper Reserved should target sections 516-520 or 544-548, which offer a similar viewing perspective to nearby Upper Box seats but often come at a fraction of the cost.
