In Philly stadium, is there a net that runs above where the seats behind home plate are?

Question

Our seats are right behind home plate and I wanted to know if there was a net that will be above us?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There is not a net above the seats behind home plate. The net is just in front of the seats to protect the fans from fouls.

Answer 2

Vertical net, basically a fence.  Best of both worlds.  Protection from those balls that come screaming back at you, but opportunity to catch a foul pop up.

Don't do anything stupid like sticking your fingers through the fence, you risk great harm.  If you are lucky enough to cath a foul, give the ball to a nearby kid.  he or she will appreciate it more than you ever will.  Better idea, let the kid catch it.

Answer 3

Its in front and above the seats.  It goes up from the backstop and then over the seats for about half the rows back.

Answer 4

The net will be in front of you, but not directly above you.

Wild pitches and foul tips can send a ball into the net at 100+ mph, that's why there is a net behind home plate. The net is only vertical, however, so any backwards pop-ups will be able to drop into the seats! It gives fans opportunities to catch foul balls, so I prefer nets that are only vertical and now actually above the seats.
