Seat Review From Section 148, Row 2, Seats 1-4

Jul 2012

Comments

Seats are in the actual third row (there is a lettered row which is the front row). The first few rows in this section are very flat, which means a couple things: 1) You feel like you're right on top of the field and 2) You may have trouble seeing over larger people in front of you. The angle towards home plate is also poor and you have to contort your body to the right to keep your eyes on home plate.

There are a lot of foul balls hit on the ground towards these seats and if you're lucky you can hop down the stairs, reach over the railing and snag a ball. A young girl sitting in the actual front row got two balls during our game.

Despite this game being a sell-out, food and bathroom lines were reasonable - even between innings. The only issue is that you have to walk up about 30 rows to get to the concourse, so it's quite a hike.

Best for... watching the game, bringing the family, being close to the action, impressing a guest, Catching a foul ball

Great seats with lots of foul balls

Section 148, Row 2, Seat 3

★★★★★

Great seats with tons of foul balls. Definitely bring your glove and be ready! While the seat said row 2, we were actually in the 3rd row. The 1st row of this section is A and then the numbering starts in the 2nd row.

Great view of the outfield

Section 148, Row 8

This is my third or fourth time sitting in this section. Each time, I've sat in a row number less than ten. I prefer to be as close to the field as possible, but the one drawback is that you have to turn your body to the right to watch home plate. Otherwise you are staring into the outfield. If I were to buy seats here again, I would try to get in the first three rows, or something beyond row 10 where you don't have to contort your body as much to see home plate. Overall, though, the Lower Level at U.S. Cellular Field is great. Section 148 has a head-on view of the out-of-town scoreboard and views of the jumbotron and the White Sox bullpen are perfect!

"Cool Angle to the Field"
(Section 109) - ★★★★ -
These seats are listed as obstructed view when you go to buy them. As a result, they were all that was left for a Cubs/Sox game. I took the gamble on them, and it totally paid off. From this spot, the foul pole is to the side of you (not in front like sec 108). It limits your view of a small slic...
"Shaded Relief"
(Section 111) - ★★★ -
Moved to these seats after the game went into extra innings and it was too hot to remain in our seats on the other side of the field. Obviously, the shade was fantastic. View isn't that great. Wasn't anyone within 10 rows which made it easy to spread out.
"Comfortable Spot, Decent View"
(Section 117) - ★★★★ -
Last row in the section. Completely covered by the overhang and totally shaded for a 1pm game. There was even a bit of a breeze back here blowing from the concourse. For being the last row, the view wasn't that bad. The seats are slightly angled towards the infield unlike some other areas of the ...
