Yankee Stadium: an accessible guide to every section

A seat map answers one question at a glance: where would I actually be sitting? This page answers the same question in words — for all 181 sections at Yankee Stadium. What the section number means, where it sits relative to home plate, how deep it is, where the entrance is, and which end of the row seat 1 is on.

How the ballpark is laid out

Yankee Stadium opened on 16 April 2009, across the street from the 1923 ballpark of the same name, which was demolished — anything written about that building describes a different place. The building carries no naming right and never has. Capacity is disputed: Wikipedia gives 46,537 for 2020 onward, Ballparks of Baseball gives 50,287, and no current figure was found on the club’s own site. Six ticketed groupings: the Legends and Champions Suites ring numbered 11–29 in front of the lower bowl, the Field Level 103–136, the Main Level 205–234, the Bleachers 201–204 and 235–239 sharing the 200s with it, the Terrace Level 305–334 and the Grandstand Level 405–434. The Audi Yankees Club is sold as a club rather than as numbered seats.

Section numbers increase from right field, up the first-base side, past home plate, down the third-base side and out to left field. Low numbers are the first-base and right-field side; high numbers are the third-base and left-field side. The club’s own netting statement says as much — the net runs “between Section 011 on the 1st base/right field side of the Stadium and continues to Section 029 on the 3rd base/left field side”. The same one-way sweep holds on every tier, and there is no odd/even split of the kind Petco Park and Dodger Stadium use.

The sections directly behind home plate are:

• Legends and Champions Suites (11–29): sections 18–21.
• Field Level (103–136): sections 118–121.
• Main Level and Bleachers (201–239): sections 218–222.
• Terrace Level (305–334): sections 318–322.
• Grandstand Level (405–434): sections 419–421.

Landmarks

• Which dugout is which is not settled, and this guide does not settle it. Ballparks of Baseball states “Home Dugout: First Base”, a dugout-side listing at Event Ticket Center puts the Yankees in the first-base dugout, and the ticketing source’s own Legends pages agree with them — “Sit in Sections 15-17 to be behind the Yankees’ dugout, or choose 23-25 for the visitors’ side”, and 15–17 is the low-numbered first-base end. Against that, the same source prints on every Field MVP page that the 115–125 seats wrap “from behind the visitors’ dugout to the home dugout”, which read as an ordered sweep puts the visitors at the first-base end and the Yankees at third. Both readings are recorded; no club page states a side.
• Both bullpens are beyond the centre-field fence, flanking Monument Park rather than lying along the foul lines. The Yankees’ pen is in right-centre, beside section 103 and in front of bleachers 201 and 202; the visitors’ is in left-centre, beside section 136 and in front of bleachers 237 and 238, which look straight down into it. All of this comes from the ticketing source; no club page states bullpen sides.
• Protective netting spans the field-level ring only, from section 011 on the first-base side round to 029 on the third-base side. It stands 31 feet above the playing-field wall behind home plate at 018–021B, 11’-6” above the wall at 017B and 022 and behind the photo wells at 015A and 025, about 14 feet above the field at 014B–011 and 026–029, and 9 feet above the dugouts, retractable by up to three feet before games. The 100, 200, 300 and 400 level sections sit behind and above it.
• Monument Park is beyond the centre-field wall, directly below bleacher sections 237 and 238. The bleachers themselves are metal benches with no back support and no cover, and the centre-field sports bar and plaza block the higher rows — the source recommends row 10 and below in 202, 238 and 239, and calls 201 heavily obstructed.
• Section 104 is the Judge’s Chambers in right field, and section 203 is home to the Bleacher Creatures and the first-inning roll call. The foul poles stand in front of sections 107 and 132, and the source lists them, along with the handicapped seating platforms, among the things fans complain of being blocked by.
• The premium products cut across the numbering rather than following it. Sections 11–13 and 27B–29 are tagged Champions Suite and 14A–27A Legends Suite, all of them in front of the 100 level; Field MVP covers 115–125, split into a club tier in rows 1–10 and ordinary seats from row 11; the Delta Sky360 Suite is at the top of 218–222; the Jim Beam Suite is Terrace sections 319–321. The Pinstripe Pass and the Pepsi Lounge are standing tickets with no published section numbers at all.

How seat numbers work at this park

Every section page for this ballpark states the same rule: facing the field, seat 1 is on your right. Combined with the direction the section numbers run, that resolves to one rule for the whole park:

Seat 1 sits on the edge of the section facing the next LOWER section number, and seat numbers count up toward the next HIGHER section number.

So a single rule of thumb will not cover the whole park. Each section entry below spells out which end of its row seat 1 is on.

Rows

Rows are numbered everywhere at this park, starting at row 1 at the front and counting back. Depth varies by tier: the field-level ring runs 1–9, Field Level sections to about 1–21, the Main Level to 1–22, the Bleachers 1–24, the Terrace 1–10 and the Grandstand 1–14, with the Audi Yankees Club at 1–3. The accessible row carries a letter suffix — 8WC on the Terrace and in the Delta Sky360 sections, 21W in the Bleachers — and on the Terrace a standing-room row 9SR sits behind it and doubles as the entrance. Entry is at the back of the section on most tiers, at row 10 in section 103, row 18 in 104 and row 24 in 201, but the Grandstand is entered near the front, at row 2.

Accessibility landmarks

The club states that wheelchair-accessible and designated aisle-transfer seats are sold at various price points and locations throughout the stadium, but its guide does not list the sections, directing guests to Disabled Services instead. Sixteen public elevators and two indoor ramps serve the building. The nearest thing to a published list of accessible sections is the club’s own list of accessible sections fitted with electrical outlets.

• Disabled Services on (718) 579-4510, TTY (718) 579-4595, disabledservices@yankees.com
• Sixteen public elevators: eight in the Great Hall for the Main and Terrace/Grandstand levels, two at the Gate 2 lobby also reaching the Coupa Suite Level, the Audi Yankees Club and the Budweiser Hall of Fame Lounge, two at Gate 8 for the Field Level and the Bleachers, two at Gate 6 and two at the suite entrance near Gate 4
• Two indoor ramps, one beside Gate 2 on the left-field side and one beside Gate 6 on the right-field side
• Electrical outlets at Guest Relations booths and at accessible sections on every tier, among them 021B, 029, 104–106, 118–121B, 211, 225–226, 305–310, 333–334 and Bleachers 203 and 235–237
• The accessible row is labelled WC, or W in the Bleachers, and is usually the entrance row

A complete section-and-row inventory of accessible seating was not available in text form when this was compiled, so the list above is a set of landmarks rather than a complete map. The ticket office can confirm specific seats.

Sources, confidence and caveats

Rows, entrance rows, zones and seat-numbering 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 disability access guides, cross-checked against independent ballpark guides. Every row of the section CSV carries its own confidence rating. Of 181 sections, 106 are high confidence, 72 medium and 3 low.

Known gaps

• The dugout sides are genuinely disputed and are left unresolved here. Ballparks of Baseball (“Home Dugout: First Base”), a dugout-side listing at Event Ticket Center, and the ticketing source’s Legends pages (“Sit in Sections 15-17 to be behind the Yankees’ dugout, or choose 23-25 for the visitors’ side”) all put the Yankees on first base. The same ticketing source’s Field MVP sentence, repeated on all of 115–125 and on the Legends pages beside it, says the zone wraps “from behind the visitors’ dugout to the home dugout”, which in a park whose numbers climb toward third base reads as the opposite arrangement. It may be describing extent rather than order. No club page states a side, so both readings stand.
• Capacity is contradicted between sources. Wikipedia gives 46,537 for 2020 onward, within a year-stamped series; Ballparks of Baseball gives 50,287 with no year attached. No official 2026 figure was found. Both are recorded and neither is preferred.
• The Field Level home-plate anchor is inferred, not stated. 118–121B comes from “Home Plate View” tags on 119, 120A, 120B, 121A and 121B, from the 115–125 infield wrap, and from the club’s accessibility page grouping 118–121B as one run. Nothing says it in as many words, unlike the netting page for 018–021B and the section 418 page for 419–421.
• Bleacher sections 235–238 publish no row, entrance or seat data at all. Their pages carry the zone review and the soccer supporters-section text but none of the row blocks every other page in the park carries, confirmed on two passes, so those four sections are recorded as unknown rather than filled in from their neighbours. Sections 201 and 239 are treated as Bleachers because they share the 1–24 row form and the centre-field obstruction language, but the source’s own layout sentence names only 202–204 and 235–238.
• The same sections are spelled two ways. The ticketing source writes the field-level ring without leading zeros (11, 18, 21B, 29) and the club writes it with them (011, 018, 021B, 029). This guide uses the ticketing form; a ticket may not match character for character.
• The seat-1 rule is well evidenced on the numbered bowl but unverified on two products. The park-wide sentence “lower number seats are on the right” is corroborated by per-section statements at 103, 129, 136, 201, 233B, 308, 328 and 423 — both halves of the park, four tiers, no contradiction anywhere — but no per-section statement was found for the field-level ring 11–29 or for the Audi Yankees Club, so the rule is carried there on the boilerplate alone.
• “Audi Club” is a club, not a bowl section. The ticketing source lists it among the sections, which is why it appears here; it is an enclosed suite-level room on the left-field line with rows 1–3, no entrance row and no seats per row published, and its own review calls it more restaurant than seating section.
• No source consulted states a compass bearing for the ballpark, so none is given. A single rendering of the section 236 page calling the left-field bleachers west-facing was not confirmed as page text and is not relied on.
• The accessible sections are not published in full. The club’s outlet-equipped list is the best available proxy but is a list of sections with outlets, not a list of accessible sections, and companion-seat counts and accessible-seat totals are stated nowhere. The source also names the accessible seating platforms themselves as a source of obstructed views, alongside the foul poles at 107 and 132.
• Bullpen sides rest on the ticketing source alone. Three of its statements — at sections 103, 136 and 237 — agree with each other and with the numbering direction, but no club page states them, and Wikipedia only says the Yankees’ pen connects to Monument Park by a door.
