Rate Field Seating Chart (US Cellular Field): Scout Seats
Rate Field, the White Sox ballpark that was U.S. Cellular Field from 2003 to 2016, has five seating levels, 100 through 500. The premium seats sit in four places: the 322-seat CIBC Scout Club (the Scout Seats) at field level behind home plate, the Rate Club on the 200 level, the 300 Club Level, and suites on the 200 and 400 levels. On United MileagePlus Exclusives, nine pairs of Scout Seats sold for a median of 41,000 United miles in 2026 (as of October 9, 2026).
The White Sox publish the official Rate Field seat map; this guide walks the premium areas on it and shows what the miles route has cost. The White Sox listings we track from United show up on our United MileagePlus Exclusives page, and you can browse live United MileagePlus Exclusives listings any time.
Rate Field seating chart, level by level
MLB's own Rate Field guide lists a capacity of 40,615 seats and describes an entrance level plus seating areas on the 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 levels. The table shows where each premium product sits, drawn from the White Sox and MLB pages we read on October 9, 2026:
| Level | Premium area | What the official pages say |
|---|---|---|
| 100 (field level) | CIBC Scout Club (Scout Seats) | Field-level seats behind home plate, in-seat food and beverage service, a full-service bar and a private dining space reached through the ballpark tunnel |
| 200 | Rate Club and suites | The Rate Club sits directly up from home plate in the old press box; one flat-rate ticket covers all you can eat and drink |
| 300 | Club Level | In-seat service, a climate-controlled indoor lounge, private restrooms, cushioned seats, three full-service bars |
| 400 | Suites | More suites, with the current press box straight up from the first-base coaching box |
| 500 | Upper deck | No premium product listed |
A few practical notes from the same pages. The White Sox seat map says sections 108 through 156 have some netting or screening in front of them, with height and coverage varying by section. Check the section before you buy if you want an unscreened view. The Club Level page lists its food stands by name, from smashburgers to Campfire Milkshakes. The team's premium menu also names Seasons Suites, Single Game Suites and the Proven IT Fan Box alongside the clubs.
Scout Seats and the CIBC Scout Club
The Scout Seats are the ballpark's field-level premium product. In a March 30, 2026 release on MLB.com, the White Sox describe the CIBC Scout Club as 322 premium, field-level seats behind home plate. The seats come with in-seat food and beverage service, access to a full-service bar, and a private dining space reached through the ballpark tunnel. The same release says the name comes from the vantage point professional scouts trust.
United's listings describe the same seats as "Scout Seats in the CIBC Club" with complimentary food and beverage. That is how they appear in our data.
Rate Club
MLB's guide places the Rate Club on the 200 level, directly up from home plate, in what used to be the press box. A single flat-rate ticket includes all you can eat and drink, one level above the Scout Seats.
300 Club Level
The Club Level on the 300 level offers in-seat food and drink service, a private climate-controlled lounge, private restrooms, cushioned seats and three full-service bars plus beer stops around the level.
Suites
The White Sox single-game suite page offers suites for 10 or 20 people with theater-style seating, a customizable food and beverage menu, one or two parking passes depending on size, and a private elevator entrance. Suites for 35, 50 and 100 people are also listed, and the page asks you to contact sales for Opening Day and Cubs vs. Sox availability.
Getting premium Rate Field seats with United miles
United Airlines is the official airline of the White Sox, per its listings, and its MileagePlus Exclusives marketplace is where every White Sox listing in our data comes from. In 2026 United posted four kinds of Rate Field experience:
- Scout Seat auctions. A pair of Scout Seats for one home game, with complimentary food and beverage, auctioned for MileagePlus miles. Each 2026 listing covered one game and, per the listing text, offered two packages with a maximum of one package per member.
- Club Terrace Suite seats. A buy-now offer for Cardmembers only (United MileagePlus credit cardholders): one 300-level, third-base-line ticket plus access to the Club Terrace Suite and its Skyline Bar, with a ballpark-fare buffet and a complimentary bar, for the August 21, 2026 game. The asking price was 10,000 United miles per person, and the offer has ended.
- Private suite seats. Another Cardmember-only buy-now, for the September 17, 2026 game against Detroit (a Southside City Connect jersey night): 25,000 United miles for a high-top seat or 30,000 United miles for a standard seat in a private suite. That offer has ended too.
- One-off experiences. A Premier-members-only auction for a first-pitch throw before the August 24, 2026 game, with four Scout Seats, which closed at 208,000 United miles (a verified final with no bid count recorded), and a Cardmember-only batting practice with lunch in the CIBC Scout Club, offered at 15,000 United miles per person (also ended).
United also ran a 100-mile drop for single Gold Box tickets to the July 28, 2026 game against New York, as part of its 100-year anniversary. That is a different game from the July 29 Scout Seat pair below.
No White Sox listings were live on United MileagePlus Exclusives as of October 9, 2026. In 2026, bidding on the Scout Seat pairs opened between April 28 and August 28, per the listing text, and each auction closed between one and 27 days before its game. For some games the auction closed less than a week ahead, so check the close time on the listing.
What Scout Seat pairs sold for in 2026
Every Scout Seat pair below is a verified close with bidding: we confirmed the winning bid after the auction ended, and we recorded bids on each one. Prices are United MileagePlus miles for two seats at one game (as of October 9, 2026).
| Game | Winning bid |
|---|---|
| vs. Seattle, May 10 | 28,000 United miles |
| vs. Cubs (crosstown), May 16 | 75,000 United miles |
| vs. Minnesota, May 27 | 41,000 United miles |
| vs. Detroit, May 31 | 40,000 United miles |
| vs. Boston, July 9 | 40,000 United miles |
| vs. Houston, July 26 | 45,000 United miles |
| vs. New York, July 29 | 48,000 United miles |
| vs. Cleveland, August 8 (No. 13 retirement) | 53,000 United miles |
| vs. Pittsburgh, September 9 | 33,000 United miles |
The median is 41,000 United miles, and five of the nine pairs landed between 40,000 and 48,000 United miles. The opponent and the occasion move the price: the Mother's Day game against Seattle sold for 28,000 United miles, the crosstown game against the Cubs for 75,000 United miles. The starting bid stated in the listing text also rose during the season, from 10,000 United miles in May to 20,000 in July and 30,000 for the September game. That September pair sold for 33,000 United miles with two bids recorded.
We publish what the seats sold for in miles and leave the cash comparison to you. If you want to weigh a winning bid against a ticket price, our guide on how to calculate cents per point walks through the math.
How United's auction rules work
United's MileagePlus Exclusives terms set the rules for every Scout Seat auction (read October 9, 2026):
- Maximum bids. You can enter the most you are willing to pay, and the system raises your bid automatically up to that maximum.
- Miles must be in the account. Miles you have earned but that have not yet posted cannot be used to bid.
- Late bids extend the clock. Any bid in the last minute before an auction ends extends it by one more minute.
- Bids are final. A completed bid cannot be withdrawn or lowered.
- One package per listing. Even when a listing offers several packages, you may bid for only one.
United's terms say a winning bid is a legally binding contract, and the miles are debited when the auction closes if you win. Miles are not refundable once redeemed; the terms allow a reward to be transferred only with United's prior consent.
For the whole platform, our explainer on United MileagePlus Exclusives covers the auction and buy-now formats, and United's 1-Mile Drops explains the fixed-price drops. If you want a whole suite rather than a pair of seats, see sports suites with points.
