Which seats are better?

If PSL and ticket prices weren't an issue, which seats would you prefer to sit in for the next 30 years at the New Meadowlands? Want to get some un-biased opinions... so no arguments please, just vote.
(I don't know how to create a poll... can anyone help?)

Pic 2 and it isn't really close IMO.

Between the 20s on the first level is really the best possible place to sit, for me.

People might be swayed though because pic 1 is much better.

I sat almost exactly where pic 2 was taken at the practice. It's great on that side of the field.
When they are at the other endzone it sucks.

oh God... not this again. Are we trying to work Scott up into a frenzy? Maybe if I post some more pics of Scarlett, he will let this go.

I call for a new poll (no not a new pole ;))

In which of these is lovely Scarlett more... er..... doable?

Here are the views from my Mezz Corner when they are on the other end of the field around the 20, some 150-160 yards away from Mezz Corner row 9 on the aisle:

pic 1 with full zoom:

pic 2 with moderate zoom:

[IMG]http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f61/greenhanzo/minicamp/Wednesdayminicampfarendzone.jpg[/IMG]

pic 3 without zoom:

[IMG]http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f61/greenhanzo/minicamp/Wednesdayminicampviewfrom246row9Jet.jpg[/IMG]

The reality is somewhere between pic 2 and pic 3 because cameras tend to add distance, but the view of the other end of the field from Mezz corners is vastly inferior to that from the 20 looking towards the other 20. Personal preference of course.

Not false info at all. It's a fact, I was there and saw it. You can't tell what's happening on that side of the field unless you are watching the HD screen (which is very well placed if you ask me.)

To watch a football game, Pic 1.

To get the "oohh and ahhh" effect and see the whites of the eyes when a player runs at you, Pic 2.

In other words, I'd like the view from Pic 2 for maybe one game a year when I take my young son to the game, but for 30 years? Pic 1.

EDIT: You said that if price was not a factor. If it was, and knowing what the prices are, the seats in the Pic 1 obviously become even more compelling.

Any chance you have a picture from these exact seats towards action at the opposite end of the field?

It is not FACT as the below images will show... the first pic isn't even at the other end!
Please keep you opinions to yourself and let the people speak. Not everyone prefers to use binoclulars all game.

unfortunately, the view from pic 1 is as misleading as my zoomed in pic. People can protest all they want, but that pic makes it appear closer than it does in reality. I saw for myself. And I respectfully disagree with Hitman harris. When I sat down near the action on the 20, the view downfield was spectacular. Full appreciation of line play and blocking. Have no idea what obstructed him. Maybe Fireman Ed's hat got in his way? :D

yep, see my last post... I don't get how people say you can't see what's going on. Not much difference in the 2 images, you gain a little perspective with the added height, but I don't see how that outweighs the fact that you are so much farther away, and it certainly doesn't outweigh how AWESOME it is when the action is anywhere from the opposite 40 and closer.

unfortunately the mezz view in DCAT's "pic 1" is more like how it looks when the action is at the NEAR goal line, not the FAR. When the action is at the opposite end it looks nothing like that.

Come on, You don't need binoculars at those seats!

As you said, the play from the opposite 40 to your near endzone is good, when they are around the redzone it's great.
But I sat RIGHT where that pic was taken, completely unobstructed and it's hard to tell what is happening on the other end of the field.

I like being able to see the field and watch the play develop.

Look at the pics... what can't you see? You can see the holes open, WRs get open downfield... what can't you see that you can see from 60 yards farther back in Mezz Corner? Yes, it's higher, and you get a little more perspective downfield, but c'mon, it's not that much difference, plus you are so far away it's like watching it on an iPhone compared to 32" HDTV.

Did you not read the part where I said "no arguments?" lol
