Covered Seating at Progressive Field

• Third Base Side of Field Gets Shade First

  Submitted by a Fan
  Home plate at Progressive Field faces slightly Northeast, which means that seats on the third base side of the field will see shade first during late afternoon and evening games -- especially seats further down the 3B line (162-172). Right Field seats will see the sun the longest. In particular, sections 303-317 and 504-514 will be exposed until the sun sets completely under the stadium. The Upper Level overhang is little match during afternoon games, but it does help protect fans during the late afternoon and evening.

• Is Section 262 Row C at Progressive Field OK seats?

  Answered by an RYS Expert · February 28, 2013

  Section 262 is located at the back of the lower level and is the second section behind the Indians bench. From these seats you will have an excellent view of both the action in the infield and outfield.

  Great views and proximity to the field make these seats a great option, and are also protected by a roof above which accommodates the upper level seating.

  Seats in Right Field Should Be Avoided

  
  Right Field seats will see the sun the longest, with sections 303-317 and 504-514 being exposed until the sun sets completely under the stadium. The Upper Level overhang is little match during afternoon games, but it does help protect fans during the late afternoon and evening.
  

  200 Level Seats on the Third Base Side are the Best

  
  

  
  Overall, your best option for staying in the shade for a noon game will be sections 257-259, 262, 265, and 267. These are the sections located behind the field level sections on the third base side, and also feature some cover from the overhanging suites located just above. There are 5 lettered rows of seating in each of these sections (with row A being closest and least covered by the overhang), so we would recommend rows C-E to provide the best protection from the sun.
  

• What are the sunniest seats at Progressive Field?

  Answered by an RYS Expert · March 26, 2020

  When the weather heats up in July and August, Progressive Field can get as hot as any stadium in the country. When this is the case, finding shaded seats is a priority. But when the weather is just right, Guardians fans like nothing more than soaking up the sun and enjoying a day at the ballpark.

  The sunniest seats at Progressive Field will be in right field and on the first base side of the field. Most of these seats do not see a lot of shade and are typically much warmer than the rest of the stadium.

  Seats in Right Field

  

  Sections 103-113 are lower level seats in right field. When looking for sunshine, these are your best bet. Only the last few rows of 109-113 are under cover and have the potential to be shaded. The rest of the section is completely exposed to the sun.

  Just above these sections are 303-316. These seats see just as much sunshine as those at field level. However, most fans prefer to sit in the 100 level for an opportunity to catch a home run ball and to enjoy the livelier atmosphere of the lower level.

  Seats on the First Base Side

  

  The two sections that see perhaps the most sunshine are Section 117 and the Corner Bar section. These sections have no overhead protection and are a magnet for the sun's rays. As a result, the Corner Bar is one of the most crowded areas on a beautiful day.

  Other First Base Seats in the Sun

  • Lower rows of 119 - 144
  • Club sections 326 - 348
  • Upper deck sections 420 - 441, 520 - 541
