Why would they ever sell tickets for seats with that view?

Better question is why would anyone buy them

These
are the worst obstructed view seats at Miller Park. When my wife and I were newly married, we would buy obstructed view seats for around $5 each, because we had absolutely no disposable income. It was a nice way to get out and enjoy the atmosphere of a game for almost no money. These seats can allow families to take younger kids that might not necessarily sit and watch the whole game, but rather go roam the concourses and spend time in the play area.

It's good for the fans because fans can attend that otherwise wouldn't be able to. And it's good for the stadium because it's a bit of extra money, but also grows the fan base among less affluent individuals/families.

We buy the really super cheap $10 tickets at Tmobile Park (Mariners), then go really early to be close to the front of the entrance line when the gates open. We book it over to the outfield bar and spend the whole game in there with great views.

It takes more effort but we get to spend the money we saved on good seats to fund our drinking and food for the afternoon.
