Dodger Stadium seat picks in one paragraph
For most fans, the infield Loge is the smartest buy at Dodger Stadium: high enough to read the whole field, low enough to see the ball move. To sit close, choose the Lexus Baseline Club or an infield section on the lowest deck. At a day game, odd section numbers (third-base side) are where the shade falls. Save the Top Deck and the Pavilions for when budget or a home run ball matters more than the view of the plate.
Reading the odd-even split and level labels
Numbers grow as you move away from home plate in both directions: odd toward third base, even toward first. The team's ballpark guide confirms it through the Lexus Baseline Club, listed as 27BL–45BL along third and 26BL–44BL along first. What that means in practice: a section 5 and a section 6 on one deck face each other across the plate.
Each level also carries its own range or suffix, as the team's guide and two seating guides agree:
- Field: single and double digits from behind the plate outward, fronted by the BL (Baseline Club) rows.
- Loge: numbers in the 100s.
- Club and suites: numbers in the 200s.
- Reserve: single and double digits with an RS suffix; 1RS is directly behind the plate.
- Top Deck: single and double digits with a TD suffix.
- Pavilions: the 300s, beyond the outfield fences.
Field, Reserve and Top Deck all begin with low numbers, so a ticket reading only “section 8” could be on any of three decks. Confirm the level label before you buy.
Field Level and the two field clubs
The Field Level is the bottom tier, foul pole to foul pole. In 2005 the club added seats at field level that ate into foul ground, which puts the first rows nearer the action than you might expect at a park of this vintage.
- Yaamava' Dugout Club: the team bills it as its most exclusive club: seats by the dugouts behind home, food and drink brought to you, and private amenities.
- Lexus Baseline Club: the Dodgers call these their widest, most comfortable seats; they sit ahead of the regular Field Level rows along both baselines.
- Infield sections: the low numbers nearest home plate, the most wanted standard seats.
- Down the lines: higher numbers. Still close, but these seats face the outfield, so expect a neck turn to watch each pitch.
Loge: the regulars' choice
Ask a season-ticket holder where to sit and the answer is often the Loge, the first deck up from the field. From here you can watch defensive shifts and a runner's lead while still seeing the break on a pitch.
- Between the bases: the best full-game view for the money in the stadium.
- Toward the corners: higher section numbers, lower demand, a sharper angle.
- Top of each section: the final several rows are tucked under the overhang of the next deck, so they stay shaded and dry.
Shaded Seats and TickPick both point to the odd-numbered third-base side for afternoon shade. Combine that side with one of those overhang rows for the most protection from sun and rain.
Club level, Reserve and Top Deck
The 200s: suites and clubs
This deck holds the Bank of America Suites, which the Dodgers describe as private group spaces, each with an outdoor seating deck facing the field. Also on the suite concourse, out where the right-field line ends, is the Stadium Club, a restaurant open to members only.
Reserve Level, RS
The Reserve is a long upper-middle deck stretching far down both lines, so seat quality varies widely on this one level.
- Low RS numbers behind the plate: the best Reserve seats, straight on, with covered back rows.
- Middle RS over the infield: an angle close to the Loge for less.
- High RS numbers down the lines: far from the plate and sharply angled; the weakest Reserve seats.
Top Deck, TD
The highest tier. Players look small, but nothing is hidden, and the hills of Elysian Park with the San Gabriels beyond make a fine backdrop. There is no cover at all, so pack sunscreen and a hat for afternoons and a jacket for night games.
Out beyond the fences: the Pavilions
Behind each outfield wall, beneath the wavy canopies the stadium is known for, are the two Pavilions, numbered in the 300s. Distance from the infield is the cost, and so is sun at nearly every day game. The reward is a loud outfield crowd and a real chance of catching a home run.
- Left field: your view runs back toward home, past third base.
- Right field: the reverse view, and the sun lingers here into evening games.
The outfield is symmetrical, so matching seats on each side see almost the same game. Sun is the main difference.
Concerts, events and accessible seating
Non-baseball layouts
Beyond the Dodgers, the ballpark books concerts and international baseball, and Olympic baseball is on its calendar for 2028. Concerts put the stage and floor seating on the grass, and each tour's design determines which seating sections are sold.
- Square to the stage: a Loge or Reserve seat facing the stage head-on tends to beat a nearer seat off to one side.
- On the grass: near the performers, yet level ground means your view is only as good as the heads in front.
- Next to or behind the stage: often unsold, or sold with a limited-view warning.
Go by the map for your event; odd and even numbers still tell you which side you are on.
Accessible seating
All levels include accessible seating, according to the team; buy it by phone from the ticket office or with the ADA Tickets option on the Dodgers' website. Mobility devices, wheelchairs included, can be checked at marked spots on the two outfield plazas at Field Level or behind the plate on each deck. Because the ballpark is cut into a hillside with stepped parking lots, where you park mostly determines which deck you walk in on. Call ahead to learn the right lot and gate for your seats, and read the Dodgers ballpark guide for current details. Every Reserved Seat order comes with a 100% guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Why are sections 5 and 6 far apart at Dodger Stadium?
Numbering starts at home plate and climbs outward on both sides, with odd numbers toward third and even numbers toward first. So back-to-back numbers end up across the plate from each other.
Which side of Dodger Stadium is shaded for day games?
Odd-numbered sections, along third base. In the Loge, the top rows under the overhang add extra protection.
What do the BL, RS and TD labels mean?
BL is the Lexus Baseline Club at the front of the lowest deck. RS means Reserve, and TD means Top Deck. Reserve and Top Deck sections start at low numbers, so the label tells you which deck you are on.
Is the Loge Level a good place to sit at Dodger Stadium?
Yes. The infield Loge gives a full view of the field and pitch movement, and many regulars consider it the best value in the stadium.
Are the Pavilion seats at Dodger Stadium worth it?
If you want a rowdy outfield section and a home run chance, yes. Expect a long look to home plate and full sun at most afternoon games.
Where can I store a wheelchair at Dodger Stadium?
The team lists check-in spots on both outfield plazas at Field Level and behind home plate on each deck.
