The "batter's eye" -- the section behind the pitcher, painted black to give better contrast for seeing the pitch. No seats, no fans.

Dead center field bleachers! No one sits in those seats. It gives the batter a clear look at the white baseball.

the seldom [ if ever used] bleacher seats on straight away center are painted black as a background for hitters...
