I also heard randomly from a team rep yesterday who confirmed that the process likely will start in August consistent with the stated policy. I'm in the first row of my section which I love as there is no one in front of me (other than the five rows of Legend seats in front, but not in my line of vision). I'm essentially just yards behind the dugout where the players come in and out, and right on top of the action towards one goal. The trade-off is the field of play is a bit removed on the third base side, and the away supporters are up above. I have enjoyed them, and my guests have thought it was very cool to be so close (they basically would be in the running for the best seats in the house for the Yankees, without the Legend perqs.) I will definitely be renewing season tickets, and may sniff around at other seats, but would be happy to stay in the same spot unless a first row somewhere else was better. For me, it's key to be in the front row of a section as with my luck I otherwise end up sitting behind Kareem (also is great if I bring the kid).
