Features & Amenities

Terrace Reserved is the largest seating group at Wrigley Field and is home to the famous obstructed views behind poles. Rows 7 and higher in sections 202-233 are all Terrace Reserved.

While there are still good views and deals in these seats, it is important to know that it is highly likely that some portion of the field will be blocked by a pole. For some seats that is an area of the outfield, and others it is the batter's box and everything in-between.

To avoid the obstructions look at Terrace Box seats located in the first 6 rows of these sections.

The same concerns exist for those looking at concert tickets as it relates to the stage.

Seating Information

Terrace Reserved Preferred seats in rows 7-15 of sections 209-226 will be located along the infield and be the best option of the Terrace Reserved seats.

As you get to the higher rows (15 and above), the overhanging upper deck begins to drastically minimize your view of fly balls as well as the center field scoreboard and outfield videoboards. These seats are referred to as the Terrace Reserved Infield and are some of the worst seats at Wrigley Field.

Moving further out toward left and right field is the Terrace Reserved Outfield location in sections 202-208 and 227-233 which are the outfield version of Preferred seats. In the back rows of these sections are the Terrace Reserved Outfield Corner seats and should only be purchased as a last resort due to their heavy obstructions.

Some of the cheapest tickets at Wrigley Field will be in these sections.

Why Buy Terrace Reserved Tickets?

Even though sitting here comes with a good amount of risk in terms of view, they are also among the best places to find complete shade or cover during a sunny or rainy game at Wrigley.

This makes it a good option for families with young children who may not be as frustrated as much by the obstructions.

Many fans also notice the lower price tags in these sections especially near the outfield making them ideal for any fans looking to attend a game or show at Wrigley while on a budget.

Fan Reviews

Clear infield views in rows 1-8 While you need to consider the neighboring beams from rows below the beams themselves in aisles further down the line (202-204), in section 205 you begin to have a less extreme angle to the field.

Section 205 / Row 9-23 • Baseball

Less chance of obstructed views on the right side Most views from seats higher than row 6 will have the risk of an obstructed view, but you can still find decent infield views if sitting in seat numbers 1-4 in rows 12 and lower. Without knowing the seat number prior to purchase, avoid rows 7 and higher whenever possible.

Seating and Ticket Q&A

What is the difference between terrace reserved infield and terrace reserved preferred?

Verified by an RYS expert

The terrace reserved infield seats are further back in the sections leading to a bit more of an obstruction due to the overhang. When sitting here, sometimes flyballs will go out of view and the video boards will be harder to see. The terrace reserved preferred seats are less impacted by the overhang. The location is simply determined by the row of the seats and level of impact from the overhang.

It is important to note that both sections are still impacted by the poles at Wrigley Field. To be in front of the poles, look at the Terrace Box seats which are the first 6 rows in the sections

This image shows the breaking point at which the overhang becomes more of an issue for the video board and fly balls.

How do Terrace Box seats differ from Terrace Reserve at Wrigley Field?

Verified by an RYS expert

Other than their distance to the field, there is no difference between the Infield Terrace portion of the section compared to the Box Seats portion of the section. While the box seats are closer to the field, they do not offer any special benefits or privileges over the infield terrace seats, but given the closer proximity they will generally fall into a higher price tier. The box portion of the 200 level sections is located in the first 6 rows, and the terrace seats are found in rows 7 and higher.

One word of caution we would offer however is that there are some viewing obstructions in the 200 level sections (support beams for the upper seating deck), which the reserve seats will be subject to. Box seating is located in front of the obstructions, so there will be less to worry about when purchasing the box seats versus the terrace reserved seats.

While no amenities differ between the box vs. terrace reserved portions of the 200 level, the box seats will always provide better protection against obstructed views caused by the support beams
