Railing Nightmare

Jun 2016

Baseball Review
Section 501, Row 1, Seat 5

★★★★★

Dealing with one railing to watch through is bad enough, but my seats were doubled up on railings by the walkway up to the 500 level - probably one of the worst views I've ever had at a baseball game. Just about the only area where I could see clearly was the left field corner and the center field scoreboard. Part of the problem was that my seats were on the aisle, where the double railing issues seem to be the worst. Out of curiosity, I moved up a few rows when I first got there to see what the view was like, and I quickly realized that if I ever wanted to sit on the aisle in the 500 level again, it would have to be in Row 6 or higher where the main railing starts to become more manageable for watching through.

Promenade Gold
-
Promenade Gold seats take up the front row of all sections in the 400 and 500 level sections at Citi Field. Many fans enjoy sitting in the front row of a section for the clear view to the field. With no seats in front, Promenade Gold seats will have less distractions from other fans. While all first rows are considered "Gold", the views can vary greatly by level and location. The most desirable are in sections 411-418 behind home plate. Each section on the 400 level will have between 5-7 rows of seating which makes them some of the smallest sections at Citi Field. Sitting in the front row of these sections will come at a lower price point while providing an experience similar to the Excelsior level. Up one level to the 500 sections is the last of the "Gold" seats. Those at the front of these sections will be raised above the walkway between the 400 and 500 level. Similar to those on the 400 level, these are most desirable for their clear view to the field. Club Access with Promenade Gold Tickets Most tickets in the Prominade Gold seats will give fans access to three of Citi Field's premium club lounge areas: Metropolitan Grille, Jim Beam Highball, and Piazza 31. All clubs are climate-controlled to give fans a break from any rough New York weather. Access is based on the seller's ticket plan so check for seller notes to see if club access is listed among the amenities.
Promenade Level
-
The Promenade Level at Citi Field is made up of all sections in the top two tiers of the stadium. All sections are in either the 400's or 500's. Promenade Level Breakdown Gold Seats: First row of all sections Silver: 411-418 Baseline: 401-410 and 419-428 Box: 429-437 Infield: 510-518 Reserved: 506-509 and 519-531 Outfield: 501-505 and 532-538 400 Level Seats Promenade sections on the 400 level include Promenade Baseline and Promenade Box seats. These sections are small with no more than 8 rows in a section making it easier to get in and out. In addition, these seats are the lowest on the level bringing them closer to the field. For the best views, look at the Promenade Silver seats located behind home plate in sections 411-418. These will be among the most expensive on the level due to their desirable location. Protection from the weather is extremely hard to find when sitting on this level. 500 Level Seats Those looking for the cheapest tickets will find them on the 500 level. Seats in these sections are the highest in elevation creating less desirable views. When looking at tickets in these sections start with the Promenade Infield seats in sections 510-518 for the best views. Otherwise, the lowest rows available in the Promenade Reserved or Promenade Outfield will be the next best options. Club Access on the Promenade Level Many Promenade tickets at Citi Field will have access to the Jim Beam Highball club lounge located on the level behind sections 411-418. However, access is determined by the seller's ticket plan so check seller's notes for guaranteed access. The climate-controlled viewing area inside the lounge ensures that you will always be comfortable no matter how cold or hot it is for a ballgame, and also features two full-service bars, NYC inspired food options, and casual high-top table seating in the lounge area.
Upper Promenade Down the Line
-
With some of the highest and furthest views in the ballpark, no premium club access, and further positioning from the infield, the most notable aspect to these Upper Promenade seats is the affordable price tag. Seats near the front of the sections will be closer to the concourse entry tunnels, while those in the very back will have some coverage provided by the small roof at the top of the ballpark. If you're looking to stay out of the sun during a day game, we recommend avoiding the first base side where the sun will be in your eyes the longest. Unique food and beverage options are more easily found behind home plate on this upper deck.
