Choosing baseball seats: batter, netting and sun

Start with what you want to watch

A close view of the batter and a broad view of the field are different priorities. Use the batter and pitcher size metrics and the key-target badges, then compare seats in the areas you are considering.

First-base and third-base labels describe sides of the field. They do not promise which team’s fans or dugout will be there. Use the venue and team information as well as the booking screen.

A front row can still have an obstruction

Check front rails, fences and dugouts in Seat view. Compare a seated crowd with people in front standing. A low obstruction percentage for the focus area does not mean every part of the field is visible.

Netting is shown separately from opaque obstruction. Viewing through a protective net is different from having the batter hidden by a person or structure.

Compare sun for the actual game time

Set the date and game start in KST (UTC+9). The sunlight readout samples the estimated model throughout a three-hour baseball game. It is not a weather forecast.

A roof can provide shade while limiting the upward view of a high ball. Look at both roof coverage and upward view limits.

• Match section, row and number to the ticket seller.
• Check batter and mound visibility.
• Compare standing spectators, netting and roof coverage.
• Use the event date and start time in KST.
