Sections at Wrigley Field
Here are the 6 main sections on the Wrigley Field chart. Ticket price, distance, and sightline all follow from which one you're in, so find yours on this list before you commit — and remember configurations move: a concert, a game, and a private buyout each use the room differently.

- Budweiser Good Sport Section — sections 501-502 inside the bleachers

Best seats at Wrigley Field
There is no such thing as a bleacher seat number at Wrigley — Budweiser Bleacher seating is general admission on a first-come, first-served basis, and the Cubs themselves suggest early arrival for better seat selection. For a reserved seat, it helps to know that the Cubs dugout is on the third-base side and the visitors' dugout on the first-base side.
Tips before you go
Bleacher ticket holders can only enter through the Budweiser Bleacher Gate at the corner of Waveland and Sheffield avenues. Wrigley is cashless for all purchases; reverse ATMs sit inside the Marquee Gate and in the Budweiser Bleacher concourse. The CTA Red Line stops at the Wrigley Field Addison station.
How to read the Wrigley Field seating chart
Wrigley Field seats 41,649 around a baseball diamond, and its chart is organized into 6 named sections — Main concourse, Upper Level, Budweiser Bleachers, Budweiser Good Sport Section, Premier seating, suites and rental spaces, and Rooftop businesses on Waveland and Sheffield avenues. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
What actually separates one Wrigley Field seat from another comes down to three things: how close you are to the diamond, whether you sit behind the plate or out toward a foul pole, and how high you are. Compare Rooftop businesses on Waveland and Sheffield avenues and Main concourse on the chart and you'll see the spread — a different level, a different price, sometimes a different side of the Chicago room. The best-seats notes above narrow it down for Wrigley Field; before buying, check the official map against your exact section, row, and seat.
Sizewise, Wrigley Field holds 41,649, which puts it 2nd of 16 Illinois venues in this guide: Soldier Field (61,500) is the next size up, Guaranteed Rate Field (40,615) the next size down.
