For those who sit in the lower bowl, where’s your ideal view?

There’s still quite a few seats available in the lower bowl of the new stadium, and the family is debating getting more tickets.  For us, we like to sit as close to the field as we can, but where we can still make out the action anywhere on the field.  
 

Typically, we’ve found that anywhere closer than row 15-20, can be so close that there’s gaps in what we can see.  It is nice to be closer to the players on the sideline, but I don’t see that as a benefit I care about all game.  
 

Also, I’m curious to know people’s thoughts on aisle seats vs being in the middle of a row.

Well so you Said no wrong answers so I love looking at my wife's a pg13.  Ok I am back you said no wrong answers.

 

I have had 300s for 7 years sit at the 40 yard line 12 rows up exit is behind us very easy to leave and we are 4 seats in from the aisle. Great sight lines see all the plays develop.  Bathroom is close.  Can be to my truck in 25 minutes from my seat.  

I have sat at my friends seats at the 40 yard line row 15 several times 10 seats in from the aisle.  Great seats but people from above always come down and fill in the empty seats than move again that is the only bad thing about those seats.  FYI they are always the drunk annoying fans.

In a standing section, aisle seats are great. Move about more freely, more space, etc.

 

But in a section where everyone sits, aisle seats mean getting up to let people by, OFTEN. 

 

(We moved our seasons after one year in 2nd row of 300s on an aisle right at the mouth of a tunnel to concessions and the ramp. SUPER awesome ingress/egress experience for games, but man did we have to let people in and out of our row all the time. Not enough room to simply tuck the legs. Gotta get up each time. Plus all that sitting. So now we're row 28 at the goal line, Bills side. In the new stadium we'll be row 23 at the 20 yard line, Bills side. Both middle of row. Won't be covered and don't really care about that. There will be places to escape rain and still watch the game, if necessary. Or you can just dress for it and stay put.)

I’ve always been afraid ground level seats and end zone seats would have less than optimal views. However, I bought my dad and my son tickets to the home opener last year on row 2 at the 10 yard line. Best game day experience of my life. My son’s a Cardinals fan and he caught a pass from an Arizona player; we made the Jumbotron a half dozen times; we appeared on the CBS broadcast; and we had a practically front-row view to a great Keon Coleman catch and some of Josh’s usual heroics.

 

Yeah, they were a little pricier than I usually get, but worth every penny.

A friend of mine recommends the boxes, said he loved it:

I am not a ST holder, and I only attend about once a year. But in my random pursuit, I have enjoyed the endzone seats--lower bowl--as you get a full view of what is developing as plays unfold on the field. The negative is when the entire game seems to be played on the other end of the field. 

 

The worst for me (in many ways) was the Minnesota game in '22. All the significant action was at the other end of the field in that game. First, we were celebrating at the stop. And then, not until we saw it on the big screen did we have any idea Josh fumbled in their endzone. Ugh!

for those who sit lower in the bowl...

We always have enjoyed trying to find seating Lower bowl between the 30-50 yard line. Maybe 20 -30 rows up for an ideal view and still feel relatively close. For 1:00 games at Highmark, we realized we needed to get on the opposite side of the field as the Sun though, got super burned one year lol

 

Lately though, we have loved the 4:00 games.

Between the 20's is best for me.  Currently on row 15 Bills side at the 20.  Love the seats, but have envy for those that are 10 rows higher.  The lower bowl in the new stadium will be higher than The Ralph.  I prefer to be in the middle of the section.  I dont like getting up and down as people pass you when sitting by the aisle.

 

Also, how do we educate the newer fans to not walk down the row during the middle of a play......grrrrrrrrr

I currently sit in section 333 I'm in the middle of the row(seats 15and16). I like being there but every game people sitting near seats 1-10 come in the other side and wind up climbing over everyone. In at least 5 games, I have people come in and tell me I'm in their seat, they stand in front and block the view of everyone around me until we get it straightened out. They just dont pay attention to the section numbers.

[wjag]

I personally prefer upper deck mid field.  What annoys the crap out of me these days as it seems no matter where you sit, high, low, endzone or other, people stand in front of you which forces you to stand or watch the game on the scoreboard.  I have been going to Bills games since the mid-70s.  I don't remember standing all damn game back then.

As long as I can see you, my view is ideal. 

[GottaRun]

Aisle seat at the entrance to the section.  No stairs and I can race to the washroom and back in a standard timeout.

I’m still waiting for the Bills to allow us to share a seat for one ticket.  Your lap is the best seat in the house.

I prefer lower bowl mid field, home side, 15 rows up.  Great game view in my opinion.

[K D]

Row 1 end zone if you want to get close to the players, but you won't see crap and will watch the entire game on the jumbotron. Row 1 by the sidelines I didn't get as close to the players and I still couldn't see the game either so it was lose-lose and the tickets cost way more. You can start to see the field well about 15-20 rows up. Best seat in the house is probably last row of the 100's 50 yard line. You can stand up and lean against the wall and nobody is behind you to get mad.

[Guffalo]

We have spent the last 5 years in 136 row 32, an the aisle. I like the view from up there, we had been around row 18 before that and were blocked by traffic on the sidelines and couldn't see much of the action as it came to our side of the field. I love the view from that area, and being on the aisle you have the extra space to see over people. Since our seats in the new stadium will be closer to the tunnel, we moved this season to 131 row 34 on the aisle to get used to next years view.

It seems aisle seats are the preferred ones by most. I'm in the minority on this one.

Since I keep my ass planted and rarely need to go anywhere before halftime or before the conclusion of the game, I like the middle.

Sitting on the aisle, you can count on restless/hungry fans or the ones with small bladders who have to squeeze past you throughout the entirety of the game. It's worse when you're near young kids with short attention spans who have to come and go every 15 minutes and kick your drink over in the process.

I'll take the middle given the choice.

Aisle seats are a must for me as well. If they aren't for you yet, they will be.
