NFL Stadium Seating - Endzone

[Sapper]

I've never sat endzone but it seems love or hate.

I'll let you guys know after the Green Bay game. Row 1 in the end zone. I will not be participating in any Packer leaps

Endzone is spectacular. You see the holes open up on running plays, the players clear coverage on passes, and the best is when an opposing runner thinks he's got a clear path to the end zone, while a LB is coming around the end to ruin his day.

Based on the responses it's 50/50 and on both ends of the spectrum, not in the middle.

I was actually excited to sit at the end zone but now am not liking the idea now.

Question is, if not the end zone, what's the best within the first 5 rows? I wanna be close enough to the field but not be so close that I can't see anything.

Sounds nitpicking and unrealistic but I would like to have the perfect seats if I am going to fly across the country again at a temporary stadium.

I had lower level endzone seats for an entire season.  Loved them.

50 yd line first row uppers is the way to go

You can definitely sit too low... I had season tickets in 2012 section 127 (about the 3 yard line) row 7. Couldn't see poo half the time and at times the dude with video camera on a lift would park right in front of us. The biggest plus was the phenomenal view of the cheerleaders. 

 

I think ideal seats would probably be front row club in between the 40's (preferably on the 50). If your'e not dead center then I'd prefer the endzone view. Even then I'm not sure I'd prefer it over an elevated endzone view. If  I ever upgrade I'd probably opt for the front row of the 200's, this way you sit high enough to see the whole field but closer overall than being upper deck. Only problem is id miss walking down the concourse chanting and acting a drunk fool with thousands others in celebration of a victory after the game.

 

The problem I have seemed to find is there is no such thing as best seat in the house. Unless you could move with the action(impossible of course) but each seat has their advantages....Wait a minute this is not impossible, Zod gets to do this for a living..lucky bastard.

 

When you sit lower bowl and only a few rows up you get the "wow" factor when the team is close to you but the angle is shitty when they are not right in front of  your face.

 

Now that I have found a home in the endzone 505 1A, I don't regret it a bit..Initially I was pissed because I took too long to decide on some front row on the 20 yard line upper deck and felt like I settled for these. What I have found is that I have to watch the jumbotron once they get inside the redzone on the other side of the field but the ability to see the line open up holes, receivers run their routes, create seperation..... just the vantage point of being able to see each play unfold and see the whole thing is awesome. Now when I take girls to the game as a date they aren't as thrilled to be sitting upperdeck even tho its front row, but when I bring my football buddies they love the hell out the seats I have now.

 

I also want to say this. One huge advantage of front row is I don't have some dude reaching to put his arm around his girl and accidentally sticking a finger in my beer or chicks with long hair in front me have their hair fall into my beer.

Being a diehard like yourself you can't go wrong. You'll have a good time regardless. Each seat has its pros and cons.

My experience is that if you are more than 15 rows or so up in the endzone, there isn't a problem seeing all the action. I've sat on every level of the endzone. 200s are my favorite cuz you have a compromise of the the two extremes. High enough to see how plays develop and the result of them while also close enough to read jersey name plates.

I'm endzone row 7 and bought those on purpose. Best seats in the house for me. Others hate them. Just personal preference. View is in my sig.

 

Yeah it is too bad when the crazy play happens on the other end
