Wrigley Field: Where Are You Sitting?

No bad seats at Wrigley unless you're behind a post, but I think I still like the 300s (were 400s at one point) the best dollar for dollar. Bleachers are always great though if you sit in the right spot.

If money is no object I’m sitting front row right next to the Cubs dugout. But with money as a factor I’m definitely sitting in the closest section of the upper deck, somewhere on the infield. Often cheaper than the 200 level seats that are blocked by the awning and I think I’ve read that no stadiums upper deck is more on top of the action than Wrigley’s. 
 

Bleachers are always cool because there’s a different vibe out there, it’s more interactive and fun but somewhere around 2005 the Cubs realized the unique value of the bleachers and jacked up the prices. Still fun but I’d rather sit somewhere with a better view of the game on most occasions.
 

Worst seats are of course the back rows of the 200 level where a seat that’s not even considered obstructed view can sometimes block virtually everything except for the actual field. Meaning if there’s a fly ball you just have to watch the outfielders and track their movements.  I avoid those seats like the plague. 

The first two comments here took my first answer, which is the 400s-turned-300s, although the restrictions to access of the whole ring up there make it less good than it used to be. Your piece itself hit on my second one, though, which is: aisle 220! (Or 219, or 222. What I like is the value, and the centeredness, and the relatively easy egress to the concourses, all with a clean view of the action. Fun exercise!

Where I actually sit is Section 227, because that is where my Season Tickets are.  I'm in the front of the section, on the aisle, and pretty much in the best possible location for the section without jumping up a price level.  I'm not saying they are the best seats at Wrigley (because they aren't), but for me they are the best option at my price point when considering both view and resale.

My absolute favorite seats would the the Upper Deck Box (300 level).  If money was no object, sure I would love to sit at field level in the first row, but my favorite reasonably-priced seats have always been the upper deck.  I just love the elevated view of the ballpark.  The only reason I didn't get Season Tickets up there is because the resale is significantly worse and I want to minimize the losses (and there are definitely losses!) on the games I sell.  I have also grown somewhat accustomed to the easy in/out of my terrace box section, being able to get right in and out of the gate and not have to worry about navigating the concouse and ramps.  If I'm buying individual game tickets though, it is almost always in the 300 level, and I love sitting up there for concerts too.
