Did I buy bad seats?

[shelly7783]

Trying to surprise my boyfriend and bought tickets in section 5, row A. Was excited because I thought front row seats would be the very best and then read something where they aren't so great. Did I make a good choice? Thanks

[Zaimejs]

Did you enjoy the game? If so, well done.

[Jim Hammer]

I don't have an answer for you, but shouldn't you have asked this before you bought the tickets?

[NUance]

I'll need to sit in them a couple of times to tell for sure.

[The Dude]

Yes, you bought bad seats. And you should feel bad.

I have never seen a game from those myself but have heard it's difficult to see the game over the players on the sidelines. I believe the first 6 rows are pretty difficult to see game action but you get a good view of the players on the sidelines!

I don't have an answer for you, but shouldn't you have asked this before you bought the tickets?

 

Yes, but I was trying to plan a surprise and didnt think about them being too close. No need to reply if you don't have an answer and are just going to be rude about telling me I should have asked first. Geez

Darn! I guess my surprise won't be so great after all. Thanks for the answer though

Don't sweat it. Any seat in the stadium would be a terrific surprise

exactly. it is not about watching the game as much as the experience. he will love it and you will have a great time.

Shelly, the rows with letters (A, B, C, D & E) are partially obstructed views of the field. They are the first five rows and, although they are the closest to the field, you miss some of the action because the players standing on the sideline block about 1/3 of the field.

 

They're not terrible seats, and if your boyfriend likes sitting near the team then he's going to be pretty happy. He should be able to see his favorite players pretty well sitting there.

 

Here's a seating chart. Your seats will be in the yellow strip closest to the field in Section 5, on the right-hand side of this image.

He'll be AT the game and not watching the game on TV. He'll be thrilled. Enjoy the game and atmosphere

[Minnesota_husker]

If he is anything like a lot of us Husker fans, he will be appreciative that you bought him tickets and will be on top of the action.

 

 

I wouldnt fret too much about it....

 

 

That being said, if someone responds, dont snap on them.... "Jim Hammer" wasnt being rude, he was making a valid point.

it's a bizarre question

Welcome to the board. Hopefully it's something you frequent. If so, you'll quickly realize that the initial responses and behavior is pretty norm for here. Smartassery is quite frequent. One things for sure. There's also plenty here that will provide honest and helpful responses just as much as the smartass comments.
