NEBuffaloBillsFan Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I want to take my son, who is 16, to his first game this year. We are planning on going to the Tennessee game and will be traveling from MA. I am hoping to get tickets somewhere in the 131-136 sections. Being that it is his first game, I want to get as close to the field as possible. However, I don't want to have our view blocked by all the equipment and media personnel that stand on the field. Can anyone tell me if this tends to be a problem if seats are too close to the field? If so, what is a safe row to move back to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 20s would be perfect, I'm sure some will bid me down more rows though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best seats I ever had were 20 rows up and 50 yard line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickrage Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Not a bad seat in the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 not many bad ones in the lower level... I used to be (before I moved to NC) in Section 123, Row 3... It was great, but at times vision issues with a TV camera... about 5 rows up would have fixed that problem. But being so close to the action was awesome... had players jump into the stands after touchdowns many times right in my lap. It's definitely awesome, just had to deal with the camera. If you were standing it wasn't an issue... and at that time, section 123 was pretty rowdy.. there weren't many people sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 All seats can be good or bad for one reason or another. Some might not want to or can't stand so much so they should stay out of the lower bowl. Some might resent the fan behavior in the endzones and prefer the family sections. The upper decks give a great view of the passing game and ball spots but maybe bring binoculars.. Lower level gets you closer to the players during pregame warmup and the game but those TV cameras must be an irritant to some of those views. If you are in the tunnel end, you can see the comings and goings of the players/coaches/alumni etc. and have a possibly great view of a key TD. The addition of two more Jumbotrons means you can always have access to the important replays no matter where you sit. Conventional thinking was that more scoring occurred at the tunnel end due to the prevailing westerly wind but I am not so sure if that is true anymore after the stadium modifications, if it ever was. Depending on the time of year, being in the direct sunlight vs. not could be an issue either good or bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 A big part of the game is on the replay screens, so I would be sure you have a good view of the jumbo. Vast majority of seats do. I personally think that 15-30 rows up is a sweet spot. I like picking one end of the field or another vs the 50 yard line, there's nothing like a TD or big play on your end of the field. It's a gamble, but it IS the Titans after all, so we'll be scoring some on them. Also don't discount front row upper deck. Those seats can be found resale, and they're awesome too.

DrDawkinstein Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 As others have said, 20+ rows up. Used to sit in row 33 and it was pretty much perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 You get a good, clear look at the cheerleaders the closer you are to the field...wait...what?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tomcat Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 tunnel endzone arent bad at all in my opinion...he'd get to see all players up close a few times. Ya gotta stand but I prefer that. Make sure you get there early and walk around to the store and by other tailgates. Maybe even let'm share his first beer with his dad ala Chevy Chase in Vacation! (Good talk son) ahh memories!

corta765 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I had seasons and sit routinely in the 100s. If you are above row 20 the view is fine and you will see everything. Closer the get the more intense the experience although you lose some sight line. In general New Era Field has been routinely in the Top 3 sight lines to watch an NFL game so you will have a good seat regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 We usually get seats between the 40 yard lines about 30 rows from the field. Great view and good crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I guess one could bother reading what the OP asked..... closest to the field without limiting the view... between the 20s on the Bills sideline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I come back for my yearly game I always sit in the tunnel end zone, 10-20 rows from field level. It's like a party (and I don't drink). But you will have to stand most of the game. Disclaimer: a fight or two tends to break out at some point. If if you stay 10 rows and up you shouldn't have any sight problems between the 20s.

Elite Poster Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Honestly, 300s first row in the middle sections is the best view of the game imo. Edited May 30, 2018 by Elite Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only input would be that if you end up close to one end zone (131 getting a bit close for my liking) AND you are sitting way down low close to field level, you lose a ton of perspective when the ball is way down at the other end of the field. The flip side of that, however, is that when the ball is down by your seats, the views can be pretty incredible down low close to the action. I once sat row 1 in the corner of the end zone. When 1 team was at that end in a red zone situation, it was incredible. When the ball crossed the 50 yard line and went the other way, the game might as well have been played in a different zip code. So if you are going to go way down low, try to move close to mid field if you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEBuffaloBillsFan Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks again everyone. I got us tickets in section 136 - Row 8. My son and I are really excited! GO BILLS!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
