Terrace Boxes

- The Terrace Boxes at Wrigley are the first 6 rows of the 200-numbered sections and most importantly are the only Terrace seats with no obstructions.   Sitting here, fans will be raised above the main walkway between the Terrace Level and Field Boxes below. Many fans love sitting in these seats due to their elevated views to the field.   When looking for tickets the order of desirability is as follows:   Terrace Box Home Plate: Sections 213-222  Terrace Box Infield: Sections 209-212 and 223-226  Terrace Box Corner: Sections 202-205 and 230-233   What to Consider When Buying Terrace Box Tickets The biggest benefit of buying a ticket in the Terrace Box location is having the peace of mind that your view will not be obstructed by the well known poles at Wrigley Field.  While seats in the Terrace Box Corner are listed last in terms of desirability, many fans would still prefer them over Terrace Reserved seats in rows 7 and above where it is almost guaranteed some part of the field will be blocked.  Another benefit is that all Terrace Box seats - except for those in the Corner - will be under cover and in the shade for day games. The combination of an unobstructed view and protection from bad Chicago weather make these the ultimate peace-of-mind seats. 

Terrace Reserved

- Terrace Reserved is the largest seating group at Wrigley Field and is home to the famous obstructed views behind poles. Rows 7 and higher in sections 202-233 are all Terrace Reserved.   While there are still good views and deals in these seats, it is important to know that it is highly likely that some portion of the field will be blocked by a pole. For some seats that is an area of the outfield, and others it is the batter's box and everything in-between.  To avoid the obstructions look at Terrace Box seats located in the first 6 rows of these sections.  The same concerns exist for those looking at concert tickets as it relates to the stage.  Seating Information  Terrace Reserved Preferred seats in rows 7-15 of sections 209-226 will be located along the infield and be the best option of the Terrace Reserved seats.   As you get to the higher rows (15 and above), the overhanging upper deck begins to drastically minimize your view of fly balls as well as the center field scoreboard and outfield videoboards. These seats are referred to as the Terrace Reserved Infield and are some of the worst seats at Wrigley Field.  Moving further out toward left and right field is the Terrace Reserved Outfield location in sections 202-208 and 227-233 which are the outfield version of Preferred seats. In the back rows of these sections are the Terrace Reserved Outfield Corner seats and should only be purchased as a last resort due to their heavy obstructions. Some of the cheapest tickets at Wrigley Field will be in these sections.  Why Buy Terrace Reserved Tickets?    Even though sitting here comes with a good amount of risk in terms of view, they are also among the best places to find complete shade or cover during a sunny or rainy game at Wrigley.   This makes it a good option for families with young children who may not be as frustrated as much by the obstructions.   Many fans also notice the lower price tags in these sections especially near the outfield making them ideal for any fans looking to attend a game or show at Wrigley while on a budget. 

Fan Reviews

First Row Behind the Aisle If you're looking for extra leg room you'll get it in the first row of the 200 sections. We had a ton of room between our seats and a railing. There's two reasons I don't give these seats 5 stars - the aisle and location. There are a lot of people that walk by and breifly block your view. It's distracting. The location is just ok. I've sat in better, but the seats are at least angle toward home plate.

Didn't Feel Like Part of the Concert There are lights overhead that are on the entire show which takes away from the experience of the crowd and show on stage. There is a pole just off to the left. It doesn't obstruct anything, but just acted as another barrier between us and the stage. I would look to go to the upper deck or lower next time.

Clear infield views in rows 1-8 While you need to consider the neighboring beams from rows below the beams themselves in aisles further down the line (202-204), in section 205 you begin to have a less extreme angle to the field.

Seating and Ticket Q&A

I want to bring someone that has a fear of heights, what area would be best?

Verified by an RYS expert

If you are attending a game with someone that has a fear of heights avoid any 400 or 500 sections. All other sections are on the ground level and don't feel high up in the air. The cheaper options will be in the 200 sections and will be a little further away while sections 2-40 and 101-142 will be nice and close to the field. These close seats will be pricier.
