What it feels like
A lively urban setting where pre-game activities are as much part of the experience as the game itself. Fans congregate in the surrounding area for tailgating before heading into the stadium, which has a steep and intimate feel with excellent sightlines from most sections.
Seating tiers
Lower bowl
Rows General rowsThe lower bowl offers the best sightlines with minimal obstructed views, making it a popular choice among fans. Rows closer to the field provide an immersive experience.
Mid-level seating

Sections we'd pick
- Lower bowl the lower rows between the bases, offering a perfect balance of proximity and view.
