Scout Seats Pro Tips

Early Season Matchups: Early-season games, when the weather is less ideal, are often the best time to find value on Scout Seats. High-demand matchups (Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox) typically carry the highest prices.

Arrive Early: Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch — arrive early to take full advantage of the all-inclusive food and beverage offerings.

Foul Balls: Stay alert throughout the game. Foul balls frequently reach this area, and some can ricochet off the upper-level stanchions back toward the Scout Seats.

Amenities available for White Sox home games. For other events, some amenities may not be available or offered.

Please note: Due to health and safety protocols in 2026, food availability, club access, wait service and other amenities are subject to change without notice.
