Guaranteed Rate Field Seating Chart
Home of the Chicago White Sox (MLB) since 1991 (formerly Comiskey Park and U.S. Cellular Field). The South Side ballpark is known for the exploding scoreboard that fires fireworks after White Sox home runs and the pinwheels above center field.
Sections at Guaranteed Rate Field
Guaranteed Rate Field's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Scout Seats — premium lower-bowl behind home plate
- Lower Box 100-160 — main lower bowl
- Club Level 300s — premium middle deck
- Upper Reserved 500s — sections 500-556
- Bleachers — outfield
Best seats at Guaranteed Rate Field
Scout Seats behind home plate for the premium experience. Lower Box 140 along the third-base line is the value lower-bowl ticket. Section 540 in the upper deck has the cleanest skyline view.
Tips before you go
The Red Line drops at Sox-35th station directly outside. The exploding scoreboard fires after every White Sox home run — sit anywhere with a center-field view. Tailgating in the lots is part of the South Side experience.
How to read the Guaranteed Rate Field seating chart
Guaranteed Rate Field seats 40,615 fans around a baseball diamond, so reading the chart starts at home plate and works outward. Field-level sections ring the infield and outfield: the lower-number sections behind the plate and along the baselines sit closest to the action, while outfield and bleacher sections are farther out but usually cost far less. Above field level the club and upper decks climb in tiers, and the section number tells you which way you face — in toward the infield or down a foul line.
Three things decide a Guaranteed Rate Field seat: how close you are to the diamond, whether you sit behind the plate or out toward a foul pole, and how high you are. The value sweet spot at a ballpark this size is usually the lower outfield or the first rows of the upper deck behind the plate — close enough to follow the game, cheap enough to justify. Shade matters too, so check which sections fall under the overhang for a day game, and cross-check the official Guaranteed Rate Field map against your ticket before you buy.
