Section 409 at Yankee Stadium

- Each grandstand section has fourteen rows of seating, and there is a fairly significant difference between rows 1 and 14. Sitting in Row 1 will give you the quickest access to the concourse and the best views from just above the Terrace Level. Meanwhile, sitting in the last row requires you to walk more than a dozen stairs to get to your seats. And if you're not seated on the aisle, you might be in the middle of a row containing as many as 28 seats. On the flip side, the higher the row number, the higher the likelihood you will be in the shade. During the hot summer months, this could come as a blessing. For a truly good deal, try to aim for Rows 5 or 6. There are fewer than 20 seats in these rows, they are only a few steps from the concourse, and you have a fairly good chance of being in the shade as long as your seats are in foul territory (outfield seating, especially in RF, is in the sun).  

(2026 Review) - Upper Deck Seating: All 400 Level sections.    Most Affordable Reserved Seats: Typically the cheapest option outside Standing Room Only.    Staircase Access Only: No elevator or ramp entry to sections.    Top Rows Covered: Upper rows protected by the roof.    Strong Shade Behind Home Plate: Best sun protection in this level.    Who Should Sit Here  Grandstand Seating at Yankee Stadium is best for budget-conscious fans who want a reserved seat and a full-field perspective. While these are the farthest seats from the field, they offer a traditional upper-deck baseball experience at one of the lowest price points in the stadium.  Grandstand Level Location & Details  Grandstand Seating includes all 400-level sections and makes up the uppermost deck at Yankee Stadium.  These sections are accessed by staircase only. Fans must climb stairs to reach the section entrance and then additional steps to reach higher rows. Because of this layout, guests with mobility concerns should consider sitting in the lowest available row or exploring other seating levels.  The 400 Level shares a concourse with the 300 Level Terrace sections, but Grandstand seats sit higher and farther from the field.  Views from the Grandstand Level  From the 400 Level, fans get a high, panoramic view of the entire ballpark.  Behind home plate, the elevation provides a clear look at defensive positioning and pitch location, along with full visibility of the center-field videoboards. Outfield sections provide a more distant, straight-on view of home run balls but less detail on infield play.  While these seats are farthest from the field, many fans enjoy the traditional upper-deck baseball vantage point and the cheaper price tag that comes along with it.  Where to Sit on the Grandstand Level  There are three primary considerations when choosing Grandstand seats:  1. Best Overall View: Seats behind home plate offer the most comfortable full-field perspective. From here, you can see the entire diamond and both videoboards without obstruction.  2. Mobility Considerations: Because these sections require stair access, fans with mobility concerns should choose the lowest row possible or consider other seating levels.  3. Shade & Coverage: The top rows of the Grandstand are covered by the stadium roof. Additionally, sections behind home plate tend to receive the most shade, making them a strong option during hot afternoon games.
