Default Favorite place to sit for football games?

Where do you most like to sit?

For me, regardless of price, it's upstairs, in the second or third row (first row has railing issues), between the 40s.

From that perspective, I see everything, and I don't have the need to see the game up close so I can hear the players, etc. Also, I like the crowd upstairs a lot more than the crowd downstairs.

That said, if money is really not an issue, I'd have to give some consideration to sitting in the same spot -- low row, between the 40s, in the Fidelity Club or a like section of another park -- particularly when it's very cold outside.

In the end, I would probably opt for upstairs for the reasons I mentioned.

How about you?

By the way, assume that you can get to the game and sit basically where you want.

I always try to sit in the end zone seats, what ever stadium i go to. I like looking at the splits, the RBs picking holes, and I get to see passing plays develop from the QBs perspective.

It's like an entirely different sport from that vantage.

Section 113. Lower Bowl, about 10 yard line on the Patriots side (at the end where the McDonald's is).

If you could move to the 50, you wouldn't do it? Is that where you would sit if you could choose any locale for games not in Foxboro?

I was asking more about your perfect vantage point.

I totally get that when the ball is coming at you. But what about when it's going the other way. I never liked the fact that I couldn't often tell whether the play gained 3 or 7 yards or tell if the player made it into the opposite end zone.

But yeah, when the ball is coming at you, the end zone is awesome. Particularly a little higher up.

Yeah, end zone perspectives are cool, for all the reasons you mention. Gives the best "on field" experience. What sucks is when the play is on the other end, going away from you. But, bring some binos and drink it in!

Actually I see more when it's going the other way.

But you're right, absolutely no clue when about yardage gained. And then when the play is on the 25 yard line on the opposite end of the field, I just start watching Diamondvision or whatever.

Lower bowl, 50 yard line, about 10-15 rows up to get up high enough where you can see......that's beautiful.
