Best Seats for New York Yankees
Yankee Stadium

Many great seating options, depending on how much you want to pay...

Simply the most comfortable seats with the best view in the ballpark. Among the most expensive seats in baseball, if you want to be close to the action - or be near a-list celebs, this is the place.

Although a few rows behind the Legends Suite sections, still an incredible view

A more affordable great view, these second level sections provide a birds-eye view of the game between the dugouts. Other tickets in this price range on the lower level offer fine views as well, but are either further back from the field or further down the lines from homeplate.

These outfield bleacher sections have obstructed views of part of the outfield by the Batter's Eye Cafe. Seats in section 201 will not see the action in leftfield, section 239 has obstructed views of rightfield. On the plus side, these seats sell for $5.

Face value on these starts at $14, not bad if you believe everything is more expensive in NYC. The view isn't horrible. Even cheaper seats are the $5 seats in bleacher sections 201 and 239. However, you will have an obstructed view to some outfield play (that's why these are so cheap).

These will run close to $100, higher than what I would call a "good value", but in this stadium, these seats offer a great view at a fair price.

I generally wouldn't recommend highest level seating, but these seats behind home plate do offer a good view at a reasonable price.

Like the old joke about divorce...Why do Yankee tickets cost so much? Because they're worth it. This isn't the stadium (or town) for finding seats on the cheap, but the experience is well worth it.

Alcohol is not sold, nor allowed to be consumed, in these sections. These are highest-level outfield seats, far from the action, but ticket prices run in the low $22 range. There is no sun protection here, so be sure to bring sunscreen for day games.

A great value for bringing the entire family IF (and it's a big IF) you can handle the rowdiness that the bleachers are known for.

Unless you have tons of money to burn, you probably won't get your money's worth for a child's ticket in these sections. Also, these sections are close to the field, so unless you are sitting behind the protective netting around the plate, you'll need to be alert for foul balls and errant throws...which can be difficult with a child crawling over you.

Notorious for rowdiness, the low ticket price (starting at $5) make these seats popular among college students and young professionals.

Alcohol is not sold, nor allowed to be consumed, in these sections.

The first few rows behind the plate and around the dugouts with luxurious, padded, theatre-type seats. Simply the most comfortable seats with the best view in the ballpark, where you'll be close to the action on the field, "A-list" celebrities, and Australian models. For high-rollers only.

Just a few rows behind the Legends Suite sections, these offer a great view.

Getting tickets to a Yankees game can be impressive enough in itself especially if you are going to a playoff or World Series game or taking a first-time out-of-town visitor. Although most seats will work, you may want to spend a few more bucks and avoid these sections, Mr. Well-connected high-roller:

These $5 outfield bleacher sections have obstructed views of part of the outfield by the Batter's Eye Cafe. Seats in section 201 will not see the action in leftfield, section 239 has obstructed views of rightfield.

These outfield highest level deck seats are just a long way away from the action.

Bring your glove, because this is the place to be during batting practice (or games) to catch homeruns. Gates open 2 hours before gametime, allowing you the opportunity to be there for the end of Yankees batting practice, which runs from 2½ hours before game time to roughly 1-hour,40-minutes (100 minutes) before, with visitors BP running from 1½ hours through 45 minutes prior to gametime. Note that for certain day games, the teams might not take batting practice, particularly late in the season.

Right field lower deck sections that are not covered by the upper deck. There aren't a lot of rows in these sections where you will catch a ball, but these are close to the foul pole, so the odds are good in these rows if you show up early enough for batting practice.

Right field upper deck sections that overhang the lower level. Perfect landing spot for left-handed hitters homeruns.

On a seating chart, they look like a good place to catch homeruns, but beware that only the first few rows in these sections are not covered by the upper deck. The home runs will land in the upper deck (sections 205 & 206).

Never say never, but these seats are a long way from the playing field.

Located down the right field (Yankees) side of the field, the best time to be here is the time gates open (2 hours before gametime) until the Yankees are finished taking batting practice (approximately 20-30 minutes after gates open). Fans are allowed to hang out in these sections for most regular season games during batting practice (although those with tickets will always have preference), you may catch some Yankees making their way to the dugout during batting practice. Note that many teams skip batting practice before day games, especially on the hotter days of summer.

These seats are down the left field line, making them the best spot to get the visitors autographs. The visitors will be on the field from approximately 1 hour 40 minutes thru 45 minutes before gametime, while they are taking batting practice. Beware that sometimes teams will skip batting practice before day games.

MLB rules prohibit players from signing autographs any time after 45 minutes prior to gametime. Be sure to get there early!

These outdoor seats, available for individuals or groups, sit in straight away centerfield in the Batter's Eye Cafe. More information on this option is located here
