Best seats for a football game? (1 Viewer)

Midfield, ~30 rows up.

When we got our Eagles season tickets, I was a little down that they were in the endzone. After a few games, I have to say that I like that the endzone seats give a better view of the routes run and how the play develops. There's also a straight ahead view of the jumbotron. We're also in one of the first rows of the second level so we have a great view of endzone / scoring plays on our side... not to mention a great spot to throw batteries at opposing players and snowballs at Santa Claus.

I agree. I prefer endzone seats over mid field.
There's something about being couple rows up on the most intense plays and having it occur just in front of you. Most exciting play at mid field is they go for it on a 4th and one or a turnover.

I can't vouch for it myself, but I hear "the 50 yard line".

I've sat all over the place. Some of it is stadium dependent because some second levels are farther removed from the action than others.
that being said. I have preferred dead center end zone 1st row of the second level or 5 or 6 rows deep in the end zone center over 45 yard line half way up the first level. 2nd row seats on the side are great but I guess I prefer the madden view.
If you are at the right height at the 50 you can see plays develop also.
I still think end zone 1st row second level was the "nicest"

Best seats are in the owners box

As close to the field as possible. If I want to see the game, I'll watch it at home. If I'm going to the game, I want to be up close for a different perspective of the players and plays.

I prefer an end zone view as well. I want to be high enough that I have an unobstructed view of the entire field. Frustrating to be on the side line too low and you miss half the action because you are staring at the backs of a bunch of players and trainers and coaches and cheerleaders and camera carts and on and on.
That said, the club level at Reliant is pretty sweet. Went with a buddy to a game last year and we sat in his company seats about 40 yard line. Nice view, but cost prohibitive.
Best seat is in the parking lot, drinking beer and eating without dropping a small fortune on seats and concessions. Usually can find several rigs with large screens on which to watch the game. The tailgate crowd is where it's at.

I'd go for "my couch" too, with only a few exceptions. I hate dealing with traffic and crowds and heat or cold. If it's a nice day out, and I have a place to stay walking-distance from the stadium, then I'd vote for 50-yard line, front row of whatever the first level above field level is...that tends to be Club level at most fields. If it's hot, cold, or I have to drive, just give me a bucket of wings and my sofa.

As you may know this judging by your avatar, sometimes the closest seats aren't always the best as is the case with the Redskins "dream seats". While they sound great in theory, every time the action gets close, so do the cameraman and security guards.
Lower bawl, anywhere between the 40s and about 8 to 10 rows up.

At some point in my life I'm going to buy a van or truck that's dedicated to this. A couch, grill, big screen TV with all the sights and sounds of being at the game with the crowd noise etc. but without the annoyance of going in with all those filthy dirty Redskin fans!!!

I sat front row a few years ago. Just noticing the actual size of the OL was impressive. Listening to them talk and interact with each other was fascinating. This particular game had Favre when he was a Viking, and I enjoyed watching what he did when he wasn't on the field. Basically, everything that I was able to take in that I wouldn't have been able to see or appreciate by watching it on TV.

I remember going to games as a kid and seeing people in those seats. They couldn't see a thing. Cheerleaders, security, media...you name it...they were all in the way.

What do yo say then to the Dolphins potential 'living room' boxes when their stadium is renovated? Tailgating, then go inside the stadium to a room, like a box, just with a big TV.
