seats for a fat boy

by cgilmo78 on May 20, 2009 9:50 PM EDT

I am a large man

6"4 300 does not fit well into the turner field seats.

I don't go to games as much as I would like to because the seats are unbearably small. And the handicapped seats are larger, but it kinda feels wierd sitting there. I would guess that the suntrust club seats are larger, but all I can find are $1000 seats on ebay. I wouldn't pay that kind of money to see a baseball came on principle alone.

Do you guys have any suggestions on seating options for large people?

You might want to call Turner Field customer service or something...

I’m sure they would have some sort of resolution to your problem.

This

is probably the best suggestion.

Otherwise, I’d suggest getting 755 Club membership, and then you can watch games from the 3rd level outfield restaurant where you could sit in the comfort of a dining table while watching a live game.

If you can get a doctor's note

you should be able to take your own chair into the wheelchair seats. Might get some nasty looks, though.

by Chopaholic on May 21, 2009 3:09 AM EDT reply actions

yeah - standing room

Who cares about the looks – everyone deserves baseball!

I would call the PR or customer service, and I believe stadiums would allow you to bring your own chair to ceartain areas, like standing room, handicapped, etc…

Other seats

Dude, I remember some seats..Seats two people…..they are huge …they were like oversize aderondikes….but they are facing the wrong way…up at the Coke plazza thing where the kids run the bases. I also remember some kind of other seats up there..bleacher seats?

i have called “customer serivce”

at this point I am willing to say screw it and go to rome where there is more room.

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you conversation go? It’ll be good insight for those with your similar situation that are afraid to come out and ask as well.

Agreed. Although I’m guessing they probably said that they’ve done their standard accomodations, such as the wider “handicapped” seats, and it’s down to a matter of some concession on your part(the “weirdness” of sitting there). It’s America, gotta give and take. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not taking sides here…I have a friend your size +100 lbs. (who went to a game with me last year and was rather uncomfortable, too) and he’s related to me the convos he’s had with airlines, entertainment venues, landlords, etc. with that result. But, yeah, I saw a guy with a catheter bag at the game last night, so as long as you’re enjoying yourself, maybe you can not care what others might, or might actually not, be thinking?
The thing I like about those seats is nobody ever blocks your view!

yeah the other 96 is that I am too good for everyone else.
