Are there any good seats at a stadium? The negative seems to outweigh the positives no matter where you sit.

I've been to one game only (Pats v. Giants 11/30/25). I researched for weeks over where to sit.  Got a cheap hotel 40 minute walk from the stadium to avoid the snarled traffic post game. ​

I've concluded there's just no good seats. ​

1.  Center sideline low?  Looking at the backs of people with no ability to see the whole play. Just the players on my side. 

2.  End zone mid?  OK for the few times the game gets to the end.  So 10 of the game. ​

3.  Higher up anywhere / nosebleeds? You can see the whole field but have no idea who is who or where the ball is. 

4.  Centerfield mid-level at the railing?  I chose this. Still couldn't tell where the ball was half the time or who the players were.  Couldn't hear the refs well over the speakers.  Was freezing cold for 3 hours.  

I just don't think I want to go back again - watching on TV is just a million times more satisfying. The cost, the 3 hour drive each way. Not being able to see what's happening. ​​

I did enjoy the atmosphere and the people around me. ​​​The enthusiasm was fun. ​​Honestly my favorite part was the long walk from the entrance to the seats in wonder at the engineering genius of the place and all the people dressed up having fun. ​
