The Bleachers at Wrigley Field are one of the most iconic tickets in all of sports. Located behind the ivy-covered outfield wall, bleacher seats offer the best chance at catching a home run ball (and throwing it back if its from the away team).
Of course the Bleachers gets its name from the bench-style seating with no back. For regular season games the entire area is general admission meaning fans are able to sit anywhere in the outfield. Front row seats near the baskets and aisle seats are typically among the most popular options for those who arrive early.
Things to Know When Sitting in the Bleachers
During day games, fans are exposed to the sun all day and should come prepared. For night games, those seated in right field will be looking into the sun until it sets.
There is only one location of restrooms for the entire bleachers section located down the ramps in center field. This can lead to long lines at times, but if timed right a trip can be made quickly.
There are several options for concessions in both the upper and lower concourses. Concessions located underneath the center field scoreboard offer some of the most unique food options at Wrigley. You will find long lines at stands located on the same level as the seats. However, take a trip down to the lower concourse near the restroom and you will find less of a wait.
While in the past this was a location that would be discouraged for families due to its party reputation (Bleacher Bums), Wrigley has made strides in becoming more friendly out in the outfield. Some fans will still seek out these seats for that reputation however.
Are Bleacher Seats at Wrigley Field Assigned?
No, for regular season games bleacher seating at Wrigley Field is general admission. Be sure to show up early to claim the best spots. Spots in the front row and along the aisles will be taken quickly. Left field will typically fill up faster as well since is is out of the direct sun for the start of night games.
For post-season games seating becomes reserved. The bleachers on the seating chart will convert to 500 numbered sections and tickets will be given a section, row and seat number.

Better the earlier you arrive
I frequent the bleachers at Wrigley Field. I am a big baseball fan and enjoy arriving early and watching batting practice. The opportunities to catch batting practice home runs are endless if the wind is blowing out. It is also pretty easy to get the attention of the players catching the balls in the outfield.
Since I arrive early, I never have a problem getting a spot just a couple rows behind the outfield fence. However, arrive closer to game time and your options could be limited. Much of it depends on the weather and who the Cubs are playing that day. If you're in a large group and want to sit together get there early.
If you're choosing between left or right field, always choose left field. The left side is less affected by the sun for both day and night games. The Cubs bullpen is also located below the left field bleachers and the relievers are not shy about throwing balls to fans.
There are some down sides. None of seats in the bleachers have a back rest, so be careful if you're someone with a bad back or bringing someone elderly. There is only one restroom location for the entire bleachers section located down the stairs or ramp at ground level.
If seeing the videoboards is important to you, right field or the low rows in left are the best options.
NEVER AGAIN IN THE BLEACHERS Worst idea in a long time. Sounds great, stinks in real life. If I had 30 people I would do it because it is your only chance to be near each other, the problem is we showed up 20 minutes before first pitch and there wasn't a seat in the bleachers. Fans in the know said we needed to get there hours before first pitch. We stood the entire time and watched the game on tv by the concessions. A complete waste and we had 2 older people with us who left and got seats from a scalper so they could sit. Maybe if I was 21, but not at 43 and definitely not if you are a senior or have a child.
These seats have a great view with close proximity to all the necessary amenities! These seats are great for going with a big group, because it is not assigned seating so you can easily all sit together. It is close to food, beverages, and bathrooms. I have also never experienced a long line when trying to get in. But, if you are on the older side, I would recommend a different section, because this section tends to be filled with loud energetic young people, and there is also no back support because the seating is benches.
Great seats but... Had a great view of the game from the bleachers, but on super sunny and hot days, it could become uncomfortable. Also, our seats were in the front where there was a small wall obstructing some the view slightly if you were sat down.
Perfect views, perfect area in the bleachers to take in a game.
Seating and Ticket Q&A
How are the bleachers configured for the postseason at Wrigley Field?
During the regular season all seating in the Bleachers is general admission, with the only exceptions being the Budweiser Patio seats near the right field corner (Sections 516-518), and the Bleacher Suite just above the batters eye area in Center Field.
For any postseason games however, the Bleachers will become assigned seating, and each section will have up to 15 numbered rows of seating. The seat numbers are spaced evenly along the bench. Some of the best options for assigned bleacher seating are found in Sections 513-515 where you have a nice head on view into the Cubs dugout, and will have one of the less severe head turns to see the larger videoboard above left field.
When purchasing bleacher tickets there are a few things to be aware of. One of the biggest is that there are not any backrests to the seats. There also is no protection from weather elements like rain or strong sun. There is also one set of men and women's restrooms located down steps/ramps in center field.
Where is BLCHR4 row GA seat 3699 located on the seating chart? Is there anything else we should know about these seats?
These tickets are located in the Bleacher section at Wrigley Field. This is a very large section that takes up the entire outfield seating area. During the regular season, bleacher tickets are general admission, meaning your ticket does not have a reserved seat. Instead, seats are done on a first come first served basis and you can sit anywhere within the section. Of course, the earlier you arrive to the ballpark the better selection you will have for your seats. Gates will open 2 hours before game time. You should also be aware that bleacher seating does not have seat backs. The only seats with back rests are those in the last rows. For day games, there is also no protection from the sun so come prepared!
Recommended inexpensive seats for first time Wrigley attendees?
The cheapest seats at Wrigley Field will always be found in the upper deck (300 and 400 level) and the back rows of the 200 sections. The upper deck was renovated before the 2019 season bringing more restroom and food options for fans sitting in these seats. Sections 303-331 will be free of obstructions and have a great view overlooking the field and taking in the entire Wrigley atmosphere. Moving up to the 400 level, there are poles that come in at the first row in most sections. To guarantee an unobstructed view, we suggest only looking in the front row of these sections. The bleachers are one of the most unique places to sit in all of baseball and can be on the cheaper side, but are not for everyone due to the fact there are no seat backs and it is first come first served.
