News to me. And I've been to plenty of baseball stadiums, yet never heard of these "Free View Seats" you speak of. Every stadium I've ever been to requires a purchased ticket to even get past the main gates, much less get anywhere close to the field. Please provide an example of these "Free View Seats/Dugout" you speak of, where they charge for the regular seats, but have an area next to the field where they let people watch a paid game for free, because while I don't want to do so and make a fool of myself upon being rebutted with an actual example, I'm inclined to call bullshit. That sounds counterproductive, at best, and like something that would undermine the business model entirely, at worst.

Edit: Apparently, at least the San Francisco Giants stadium has something similar to what you describe. While it exists, it seems an exception to the rule, though, and hardly qualifying of "most" stadiums. But I will readily concede that the concept exists, in practice.

Thank you. This seems to be an exception to the norm, but it is enough to at least prove that the concept exists.

You mean the one that no longer exists?

The only stadium I could find in Omaha that could potentially fit that description was Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. The picture facing towards the outfield shows absolutely nothing of the sort, regarding what you mention. In fact, any space past the outfield is either grandstands (Which I must assume are paid seating, due to positioning not matching your description) and what appears to be either a backboard to keep balls from going over the fence or a lightboard, I can't tell which at this distance. If it's a different stadium you're referring to, I'd love to see a picture of this concept, because it really does intruige me...but I must still say I'm skeptical, in the lack of an actual, photographic example.
