March 31, 2006, Newsletter Issue #10: Home Plate Seating

Tip of the Week

The crack of the bat. The whish of the ball. There is something about sitting near or behind home plate that captures the essence of baseball. While Yankee Stadium insiders say to buy bleacher seats in the outfield for a great deal, measuring Seating Charts by dollar value isn't necessarily the way to get great seats. Here are some home plate home-run rundowns on sitting behind home plate.

YANKEE STADIUM The center seats right behind home plate are 8, 12, 208 and 212. Home plate tickets are sold out for 2005, so buy early--ticket prices for 2006 will be released soon.

WRIGLEY FIELD Sam Snead once hit a golf ball from Home Plate at the home of the Chicago Cubbies. Club boxes 17-24 on the infield are right behind this historic home plate and cost $30 for Value Dates, $50 for Regular Dates and $60 for Prime Dates. Club Boxes, however, are rated the best seats in the house.

FENWAY PARK The most expensive tickets in baseball will get you in to see the champion Red Sox. Home plate box seats in 2005 set you back $85 and the fans aren't as rowdy as the bleacher creatures. You can try Green Monster Seats for great view and a chance to catch a grand slam. The Green Monster Seats vary from $25-$130 and are presumably $130 behind home plate.

Still, it's worth it to watch the home run of this winning team. No matter what you pay for the privilege of sitting behind home plate, it's all part of the magic of the field of dreams.
