# Sutter Health Park — accessible section guide

Lives at <https://theideaplace.net/projects/mlb/sutterhealthpark/>.

A guide in words to Sutter Health Park, home of the Athletics: what each section number means, where it sits,
how deep it is, where the entrance is, and how the seats are numbered. Part of a set covering the
American League West.

## Files

| File | What |
|---|---|
| `index.html` | The page |
| `sutterhealthpark_sections.csv` | 54 sections, 13 columns — the primary dataset |
| `sutterhealthpark_layout.csv` | 4 seating zones — the layout overview |
| `sutterhealthpark_notes.md` | This file |

## Orientation

Section numbers increase from the first-base and right-field side, past home plate, toward the third-base and left-field side. Low numbers are the first-base side; high numbers are the third-base side.

Home-plate blocks by level:

- **Lower Bowl (100 level):** sections 109–113

**Dugouts and bullpens.** The home dugout is on the THIRD-base side at this park, fronted by sections 116–120. The visiting dugout is on first base, behind sections 102–108. Shade is the thing to get right here. Sacramento summers are severe and this is a small park with limited overhang, so the per-section shade notes below matter more than they would elsewhere. Home Run Hill is a grass berm rather than seating, so it has no rows or seat numbers at all.

**Rows.** Rows are mixed here. Most sections use numbers, but several lower-bowl sections have lettered front rows — AA, BB, CC — ahead of the numbered rows, and most sections finish with a row labelled "WC". Numbered rows do not always start at 1 or run consecutively.

## The seat-numbering rule

**No source publishes which side seat 1 is on at this ballpark.** At every other park in this set the ticketing sites state the rule outright; here they do not, and this guide does not guess. Seat 1 is against one side aisle and the numbers count up to the other, but which side is not documented. Check the seat numbers on your own ticket, or ask the ticket office.

## Confidence

0 sections are rated high confidence, 26 medium and 28 low. Rows, entrance rows,
zones and seat direction come from RateYourSeats section pages — one page fetched per section —
with A View From My Seat as a fallback. Orientation, dugouts, bullpens, capacity and accessibility
come from the team's own ballpark and accessibility guides cross-checked against independent
ballpark guides.

### Known gaps

1. This park has materially weaker data than the others in this guide. RateYourSeats has no per-section pages for it — every section URL serves a generic page — so all of it comes from fan-submitted data on A View From My Seat. Entrance rows, ticket zone names and seats per row are unavailable for every section.
2. No source states which side seat 1 is on. Unlike every other park here, this guide does not state a seat-1 rule, because none is published.
3. Sections 200–204 and 206 have no row data at all.
4. Capacity is about 14,014, including grass berms and standing room; it was roughly 14,611 before the MLB conversion.
5. Some 2026 Athletics home games are reportedly at Las Vegas Ballpark, which is not covered by this guide.
