Like virtually every new MiLB facilities, there’s no bad place to spend time when you visit BB&T BallPark. There are, however, some specific places that you’ll likely want to consider sitting to maximize your experience. Given that the best feature of BB&T BallPark is its view, you’ll likely want to sit facing the city skyline. This means choosing a seat behind home plate or on the third base side.
Seats directly behind home plate aren’t cheap, but don’t forget that you’re paying for the view, too. Made up of five sections that run between the home plate sides of each dugout, the Budweiser Home Plate Club Seating section will cost you $30 a ticket. If that’s a little steep for you, but you still want to enjoy the city skyline view, your next best option is a seat on the Field Box Seat anywhere down the third base side. Seats in these sections cost $19 in advance or $21 on game days. The Field Box Seats on the first base side are the same price, of course, but don’t give you the city view quite as much.
If you’re looking for a unique seating option at BB&T BallPark, you’ll want to check out the Home Run Porch seats. This elevated section has space on both the fair and foul sides of the right field foul pole, and provides a bird’s-eye view of the field. You have two options here there’s one row of box seats directly behind the railing, known as Club 93. They cost $23 or $25. Or, you can stand at a bar behind these seats for $11 or $13.
The Left Field Power Alley section costs $12 or $14 per seat, and has seats that are somewhere between bleachers and box seats. This is an ideal section if you’re visiting with kids. It’s affordable and just steps from the play area on the left field side of the batter’s eye. The sloped grass berm behind the left field concourse is also a fun hangout for kids.
In right-center and right field are the Home Run Seats, which are a little more expensive than the Left Field Power Alley Seats ($14 or $16) because they’re stadium box seats, rather than benches. As is often the case with newer MiLB facilities, these sections are small and intimate, which creates a fun vibe for fans.
BB&T BallPark is one of a handful of MiLB facilities that sells standing room tickets. They cost $8 in advance or $10 on game days and, of course, you’ll want to stand on the concourse behind home plate or on the third base side.
