Section 2, officially Right Field Grandstand 2, is way out in right field. It formerly extended down to the ramp opening, but the area between the poles and the ramp opening was reclassified as Right Field Boxes (now Right Field Box 88). In 1975 Section 2 held 604 seats. Currently it holds 378 seats in 16 rows.
When Sections 1 through 10 were built in the 1930s, there were no seats, only benches. Rows were closer together, so there was even less leg room than there is now. In these sections you will notice that after every 4th row there is extra vertical separation from the next row. That indicates that 4 rows of seats were created out of 5 rows of benches. A few inches of concrete were added to make four rows deeper, and the fifth row was sacrificed. So when the following row was made deeper, it started on a level an extra row higher than the 4th. What this means is that if you are in rows 2, 6, 10, or 14, you have an extra height advantage over the row in front of you.
Row 18 is an accessible row, with spaces for wheelchairs, folding chairs for companions, and four true permanent seats (numbers 12, 13, 16, and 17). Note that there are no rows numbered 16 or 17.
In row 1, seats 18 and 19 have long leg room.
Rows 1 through 10 are higher priced than rows 11 through 17.
Best seat: Row 1 Seat 1
Worst seat: Row 1 Seat 19 (right behind pole 2-3, and one of three worst seats in Fenway Park)
