Features & Amenities

On the White Sox seating chart, sections closest to the field are known as Lower Box seats. This includes sections 111-153.

Boxes Near the Infield

Lower Boxes near the infield and behind home plate have a number of different names, including Diamond Box, Platinum Box and Gold Box. Despite having different names, these seats have similar experiences.

The Sox dugout is located in front of sections 137-142, while the visitors sit in front of 122-127. Row 5 in these sections is the actual first row behind the dugout.

Sections 130-134 are directly behind home plate and behind the Scout Seats, which occupy the first 12-15 rows.

Boxes Down the Line

Sections down the line are known as Lower Boxes or Lower Box Corners. Again, this distinction is meaningless.

The biggest complaint with seating down the lines at Rate Field is the angle towards home plate. Seats further down the line face the outfield too much and will have you turning your body to see the batter-pitcher exchange. To make the angle less severe, consider sitting in a higher row. Your view will be more comfortable and you will be closer to the concourse.

Additional Notes

Seats on the first-base/right-field side are shaded first, while seats down the left-field line will have the best view of the star board in right-field.

Netting has been added down the lines which severely limits the foul balls in sections 116-118 and 146-148 (previously foul ball havens).

Most sections in this area include 35-38 rows of seats with the higher rows being covered by the Club Level. And most rows have fewer than ten seats per row (exceptions include sections close to the foul poles).

Note: These seats are highlighted on the map

Ratings & Reviews From Similar Seats

"Excellent Spot on Sox Side!"
(Section 139) - ★★★★★ -
- About 25 rows up from the Sox dugout - Just below the Antique taco stand - Under the overhang (was sunny for a couple innings though) - Between home plate and third base - Just a few steps up to the concourse
"Shaded Relief"
(Section 111) - ★★★ -
Moved to these seats after the game went into extra innings and it was too hot to remain in our seats on the other side of the field. Obviously, the shade was fantastic. View isn't that great. Wasn't anyone within 10 rows which made it easy to spread out.
"Great view, shade, but lacking crowd"
(Section 111) - ★★★★ -
The seats had a nice view and in a 90 degree game like today you need the shade. Unfortunately, most fans were quiet and there were a lot of open seats.

For the 2017 baseball season, sections 128-136 behind home plate will have some level of netting in front of them. Previously, the netting only spanned from sections 130-134. The amount and coverage of netting will vary by section.

***Update: The White Sox have added netting in front of all 100 level sections in foul territory.
