Wrigley Field Seating Guide: Chicago Cubs vs St. Louis Cardinals

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views & Value at Wrigley Field

As one of baseball's most historic ballparks, Wrigley Field offers unique seating options with varying sightlines and experiences. Below are our expert recommendations for the Cubs-Cardinals matchup, categorized by price point and view quality.

Best Value Tickets ($38-$49)

• Sections 203-231 (Upper Deck Infield): Rows 9-17 offer surprisingly good views of the entire field at the lowest prices. Best options: Section 205 Row 17 ($38), Section 231 Row 14 ($38).
• Bleachers (GA): At $49, these offer the classic Wrigley experience with a party atmosphere, though no seatbacks and limited shade.
• Upper Deck Outfield (400s): Sections 408-430 provide decent angled views at $39-$49. Section 408 Row 10 ($39) is particularly good value.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($50-$85)

• Terrace Reserved (200s): Sections 220-232 between rows 10-20 ($58-$75) offer the best balance of price and view. Section 230 Row 11 ($58) has excellent home plate sightlines.
• Upper Deck Front Rows: Sections 430R/431R Row 1 ($49) provide unobstructed panoramic views with minimal walking.
• Lower Outfield (Sections 212-227): Rows 15-22 ($70-$85) give good angles for tracking fly balls. Section 227 Row 16 ($47) is a steal at this price point.

Premium Options ($86-$150)

• Field Box (100s): Sections 127-132 between rows 1-10 ($100-$150) put you close to the action. Section 129 Row 4 ($100) has excellent infield views.
• Club Box (300s): Sections 304L-314L include access to climate-controlled concourses. Section 304L Row 1 ($108) offers premium amenities.
• Terrace Box (200s Front Rows): Sections 203-209 Rows 1-8 ($86-$120) provide the clearest views from the terrace level.

View Considerations

• Upper Deck (400s): Higher rows (10+) may have some obstruction from the roof overhang. Opt for rows 1-9 when possible.
• Terrace Level (200s): Rows 1-15 are under cover, while 16+ are exposed. Front rows have better viewing angles.
• Bleachers: GA seating means early arrival for best spots. Right field bleachers face sun until late afternoon.
• Lower Box (100s): Rows 1-10 are excellent, but rows 15+ may have some visibility issues due to the upper deck overhang.

Last-Minute Deals

• Check for price drops on Terrace Reserved (Sections 220-232) 24-48 hours before game time
• Bleacher tickets often become available below face value on game day
• Upper Deck (400s) tickets frequently drop below $40 close to first pitch

Pro Tips

• For shade: Choose 3rd base side (Sections 203-218) for afternoon games
• Best photo ops: Sections 205-209 for iconic Wrigley views with scoreboard
• Family-friendly: Sections 417-424 have easiest access to kid amenities
• Premium experience: Consider club level (300s) for air conditioning and shorter lines
