The lower boxes around the infield give the closest, truest view of the game.

About Citi Field
Citi Field seats about 41,922 across the Field level (100s), club and premium levels including the Excelsior level (300s), and the upper Promenade level (500s). Lower-level seats around the infield are the best overall, the outfield seats are the spot for home runs and the Home Run Apple, and the Promenade offers value with skyline views. As an open-air park, sun and shade shift by game time, with the third-base side generally finding shade earlier for day games. It also hosts concerts and international soccer.
An open-air ballpark in Flushing, Queens with an Ebbets Field-inspired brick facade and the grand Jackie Robinson Rotunda entrance, plus the Home Run Apple that rises in center field after Mets homers. It is a classic modern retro park, fully open to the sky, with an intimate seating bowl and views out toward the Manhattan skyline from the upper deck.

Seats to avoid & obstructed views
Deep down the outfield lines in the lower boxes: Sharp foul-line angles make tracking the full field harder.
Far outfield corners of the Promenade level: Distant from the plate with a flattened view of infield play.
Sun-facing lower bowl on a hot afternoon: Limited shade means direct sun and heat for day games.
Behind-stage seating for concerts: Views and sound face away and are often curtained off.
Accessibility & companion seating
Citi Field provides ADA wheelchair and companion seating on all levels, bookable through the Mets so staff can match location to need. Elevators, accessible subway/LIRR arrival, and accessible restrooms and concessions serve every level.
Where: Accessible platforms are located on the field-level concourse, the club/Excelsior level and the Promenade level.

Getting there
Transport
The easiest arrival is the MTA 7 subway line to the Mets-Willets Point station right outside the gates, with LIRR service also stopping nearby on gamedays. Drivers use the surrounding Corona Park-area lots, though transit is strongly recommended.
The area
Citi Field sits beside Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, near the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center that hosts the US Open, rather than a dense bar district. Flushing's renowned food scene is a short ride away.
