 Farther from the infield on either side are the dugouts, where the teams and coaches sit when they're not on the field.They are named such because, at the professional levels, this seating is below the level of the playing field so as to not block the view from prime spectator seating locations.In amateur parks, the dugouts may be above-ground wooden or CMU structures with seating inside, or simply benches behind a chain link fence.
