During its opening season, PNC Park's seating capacity of 38,496 was the second-smallest of any major league stadium (the smallest being Fenway Park).[1][101] Seats are angled toward the field and aisles are lowered to give spectators improved views of the field.[102] The majority of the seats (26,000) are on the first level,[55] and the highest seat in the stadium is 88 feet (27 m) above the playing surface.[103] At 51 feet (16 m), the batter is closer to the seats behind home plate than to the pitcher.[104] At their closest point, seating along the baselines is 45 feet (14 m) from the bases.[102] The four-level steel rotunda and a section above the out-of-town scoreboard offer standing-room-only space.[105] With the exception of the bleacher sections, all seats in the park offer a view of Pittsburgh's skyline.[106]
