Looking at binoculars for when I sit in the upper deck at Jordan Hare

Yeah, Sure thats why!!!

I use my binoculars when fishing. If another boat is catching fish and I’m not I peek over and see what there set up is.

I bet Lanier downvotes the hell out of this post.

The west upper deck is a ways off from the student section. Hard to see the coeds in their sundresses without some help

8x binoculars are significantly easier to hold steady than 10x. Image stabilizing binoculars would negate that problem though. I would go with the 8x just for the larger field of view and being able to track a play. But to be honest viewing a football game through binoculars seems like a tough deal unless you have some serious eye problems that would require that.

Keep in mind that the "clear bag policy" prohibits binocular bags.

Don’t forget about the night games

I’ve grown up in the Upper Deck of JH watching the game with my grandpa in the 80’s.

We used to watch the game with binoculars before the big Jumbotron. Nostalgia

I feel ya here. Grandfather would do the same in the 90's. Honestly though usually used them more after plays to see who the people that made the play were or see who was subbing in more than watching the actual play on them. Or like seeing if a spot would be a first down and stuff like that, before the massive screens and everything.

Section 50 myself, but will be there as always.

I second the vortex. Hard to beat for the price point. Go to an Academy or Bass Pro and try out the 8's vs the 10x looking to the other side of the store. It will give you a better feel in person.
