If you get these where do you stand usually? How do these work?

The main SRO section is the very back of the 200 level. They used to have SRO in front of the 500 level for big games, as well, but I don't think they do that anymore.

 

You'd have to get there early to guarantee a decent spot that's unobstructed.

200 level is on the lower level on the main walkway right? Above the box seats?

 

I wouldnt mind standing there for a full game it would actually probably be a better view then alot of the seats and Its alot cheaper to do that then pay for a seat.

Yeah. It's behind the 200 level, so all the way in the back of the lower level along the ramps and fence. There are a lot of partially obstructed spots because of the pillars and you won't be able to see much of the scoreboard.

 

I've never actually had SRO, though, so hopefully someone else will chime in on where the best spots are. I would think that they'd be near each base since you'd be closer to the field than if you were directly behind home, but I don't know.

I had SRO for Game 2 of the NLCS in 03. The best plan if you can handle it is really just walking around. I walked the walkway in front of the 200 section nearly the whole game with a buddy and we stopped sporadically in different places where security would let us throughout the game. We did this tactic after we realized at about the 2nd or 3rd inning that the views from under the overhang as far back as you are required to stand are awful.
