Are you planning to attend a Chicago Cubs game anytime soon? Though just about any seat at Wrigley Field is a good one, here is a guide to help you in your decision. I will give each section a rating from 1 to 5 stars that will further gauge each location.

I. Upper Deck Seating
A. Includes sections 503-538
B. There are 9 rows total in the upper deck
C. Upper deck rating: 3 Stars

Compared to many Major League ballparks, Wrigley Field in one of the smallest which makes it's upper deck section not so bad. For starters, the prices for these seats are usually the cheapest, especially if you choose to sit in the far corners. As common sense would tell you, the closer you sit to the diamond, the better, so keep that in mind when deciding. The upper deck really gives you a Birdseye view of the entire field and every play is easily seen. The third base side of the upper deck has a good and bad aspect to it. The good aspect is that a fan can keep cooler if the weather is warm and the breeze is coming off of Lake Michigan. You'll also get a view of the many sailboats as well. The bad aspect is if it's late in the season and the wind starts blowing in from the lake, those seats can become quite frigid. The entire upper deck has a canopy overhead so it does give relief on hot sunny days or during rain delays. Furthermore as with any canopy, there are support posts. Good thing is that these poles are smaller in diameter compared to the terrace reserve, and the obstruction isn't bad. As far as food and drinks, walking vendors are in abundance and if you need a break from the game, there is also a food patio court that is located in the upper deck that is behind home plate. You can view the downtown area from this patio and also purchase food and drinks here as well.

II. Upper Deck Box Seating
A. Includes section 401-437
B. There are 10 rows total in the upper deck box section
C. Upper deck box rating: 3 1/2 Stars

Upper deck box seating are closer to the field than upper deck. These seats are more expensive, and depending on the section and row, can be just as expensive as a terrace box. The best upper deck boxes are between the bases and 1st row is a real treat. These sections have access to numerous foul balls and give fans a close view of the press box. There are no overhead canopies for sun and wind protection, but that also means no obstructions! Fans sitting in these seats have the same access to food and beverage vendors as well.

III. Terrace Level Seating
A. Includes section 201-240
B. There are 23 rows in the terrace level section
C. Terrace level rating: 3 Stars

The terrace level section is considered field level and is located under both upper deck sections. Depending on the location, these seats usually cost the same as an upper deck box. The view is good from these seats especially in sections that are between the bases. Even the highest row of the terrace offers a full view of the field, but you will miss pop-fly balls. A draw back of the terrace level sections is the obstructions. Any seat behind the 5th row may have a possibility of this, but there are remedies in place. TV monitors and scoreboards have been placed in various locations above the terrace seats to keep fans updated on the action. Though obstructions can be a problem in the terrace, there are many seats where there are no obstructions. Because may seats are not marked limited view, it is a good idea to inquire about obstructions before you obtain them. Like the upper deck seating, the terrace offers shelter from the hot sun and the rain delays, and food and beverage vendors are plentiful.
