200 Level Obstructed View Seats

[chicago_skinz_fan]

Thoughts? I have only been to one skins game and it was in the nosebleeds so I didn't have any issues. I am planning to make the trek on November 16th and I wanted to get your thoughts. The majority of tickets in question are after row 15 and higher.

Any thoughts, experiences would be much appriciated. Thanks!

I don't have any first hand experience, but from what I've heard from others, AVOID!!!

You can actually go to the stadium and see them if you call the ticket office. I'd just wait until the scrimmage in August. It's free. You get to see a big practice. And you can sit anywhere you want. In general, behind row 14, you really start to risk limited views. There are some seats that are actually directly behind giant support columns. Even if you're not directly behind one, when the ball goes to either side they can block your view. But go see them in person. I've had friends that spent big money on them (oops!) but said they had a great time.

He is in Chicago, so I don't think it is all that convenient for him to just drop by the stadium to scope out the seats.


Chi_Skinz_Fan-

Do NOT bother with obstructed view seats. It is hit or miss on how bad they can be but if you're coming all the way to DC for a game, you might as well spend an extra $40-50 and at least get upper level seats.

I agree with Rich, don't take the risk with the obstructed view seats.

I ditto this point. I've never known someone who actually enjoyed their obstructed view seats.

My bad. I didn't realize how far away you were. If you knew the actual tickets in question I'd take a picture from the seat for you. But it sounds like you're just looking at random obstructed view seats. Past row 14 I'd be very concerned about that giant concrete blocks.

Not only that...but the further back you go in the section the more the overhang obstructs your view of the opposite sidelines/field as well.

Thanks for all the responses guys, I really appriciate it. LOL on that picture. I have been in a seat close to something like that at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game, they suck as you can imagine.

Alright then, I am going to be springing for upper level or 100 level if I can get them kind of decent. If anyone runs accross a pair, I am looking LOL. Skins vs Boys.
