How far is too far?
If you go for the ambience, apparanently, it’s never too far.
I’ve sat pretty far away at Olympic Stadium, out in LF. The way it was setup:you had the bleachers, then you had the bullpen area, and then more bleachers. That’s where I was. You couldn’t even see the thrown ball. It was stupid and silly, and quite fun, if you are with the right crowd.
But only for baseball, and soccer could this make sense. In hockey? No, you need to be watching the game at all times. Basketball? I couldn’t even imagine it would be worthwhile to even be in the upperdeck. Football? Maybe, but I don’t think so.
The reason? I think it has alot to do with whether it’s important that you know where the ball is. In baseball, the positioning of the players tells you where the ball is, even if you don’t know where it is. You follow the players mostly. In soccer, the players are spread out, like in baseball, so it makes them easier to follow. In hockey, you follow the puck. Basketball and football have clustered players as well.
Anyway, teams that embrace family pricing for baseball are being smart: you need to get them in cheaply, and they can buy the expensive food. Like movie night Tuesday.
