How to see MLB games on a budget — the ballparks with affordable options like lawn seating, bleachers, and the upper deck. An honest budget guide from Chasing Stadiums.
Across the league, the upper deck, outfield sections, and grass-berm areas offer the best value. Some parks feature dedicated budget options — Petco Park's Park at the Park lawn, Coors Field's Rockpile, and Wrigley Field's bleachers are well known for being affordable and fun.
Prices vary widely by team, opponent, and date, so this is a guide to the kinds of options that tend to be affordable, not a price list — always compare current prices before you book. Weekday games and less-marquee matchups are generally cheaper.
Use the Chasing Stadiums stadium guides to find the affordable sections at each park, and track your visits in your MLB Passport as you work toward all 30 on any budget.
