Main Level Infield (Baseball)
-
Flanking the Delta Sky Suites on the second level of Yankee Stadium are Main Level Infield seats. As much as any ballpark in the big leagues, the second deck hangs over the lower level. In turn, the views from the front of these sections is absolutely outstanding - making you feel like you're seated just above the field. The suite level hangs over the last five rows in these sections, so the view from the back rows isn't as generous. However, what those rows lack in sitelines, they make up for it in comfort. The upper rows as covered, usually shaded and closer to the concourse and its concessions. Restrooms are scarce on the main level, so target Section 227A or 227B to be near a men's and women's restroom and plenty of food options.
Main Level Seating

Second-Tier Overhang Seating: Sections 205–217 and 223–234. Closer Than Expected: These sections hang directly over Field Level seats. Excellent for Yankees Games: Strong infield elevation and proximity. Mixed for Soccer Matches: Best angles in Sections 227A–231. Upper Rows Covered: Protection from sun and weather. Who Should Sit Here Main Level seats at Yankee Stadium are ideal for fans who want an elevated view without feeling far from the field. For Yankees games, these sections provide one of the best combinations of proximity and perspective in the ballpark. For soccer matches, fans should be more selective about section location to avoid sharper viewing angles. Main Level Location & Details The Yankee Stadium seating chart lists Sections 205 through 217 and 223 through 234 as Main Level seating. Sections 205–217 begin behind the home dugout and wrap around the first base line into the outfield corner. Sections 223–234 mirror this layout on the third base side, extending down the line and into the opposite outfield corner. These sections sit directly above the Field Level and extend outward over the lower bowl. Because of this overhanging design, they are much closer to the field than they appear on the seating chart. Sections closer to home plate and the infield offer the most desirable vantage points, particularly for Yankees games. Views from the Main Level Yankees Games For New York Yankees games, these seats offer some of the best overall views in the stadium. The overhanging design places fans closer to the action than typical second-tier seating. In fact, in the first few rows near the infield, you cannot see the lower-level seats below you — giving the impression that you are much closer to the field. The elevation provides a comfortable angle to track pitch location, defensive positioning, and scoreboard activity without feeling removed from the action. Soccer Matches For soccer matches, the experience can vary more by section. While the elevation remains ideal, some sections have sharper angles toward the pitch due to the field reconfiguration. Sections 227A through 231 generally offer the best angles to the soccer field and are preferable for fans prioritizing sightlines during non-baseball events. Which Row Is Best? Row selection makes a noticeable difference in this area. Skip the First Few Rows: The lowest rows can have slight sightline interference from railings or signage. They also require a longer walk up and down stairs. Top Rows Offer Convenience & Shade: The highest rows are closest to the concourse and sit underneath the overhang. These seats are a great option for families and fans who prefer easier access to amenities while staying protected from direct sun.

Phenomenal elevation and excellent sitelines to home plate. Rows 3 and above can comfortably see above the railing at the front of the section. Some of the best seats in all of baseball

Seating & Ticket Questions

Will seats in Section 217 have good shade at Yankee Stadium? I have tickets in Row 19, Seats 17-20 and wondering if they are in the shade for the afternoon of July 18. Thank You.

For a 1:05PM start in July, seats in Section 217 Row 19 will have very good shade due to their northeast facing seating position, as well as the roof just above which provides overhead coverage starting around Row 14. Seats near the back of the section will have some of the best protection from the sun, so we recommend opting for Rows 17 and higher.... Read More
