Buying Steelers Tickets as Groom's Gift...Question about tickets!

KplusE2012

Hi all!

I know this isn't super wedding-related, but I have a question for those of you who've been to a Steelers game. I am purchasing tickets to a game for my FI, and it's going to be his groom's gift! I am SO excited to do this for him! He is a diehard fan, and has never been to a game there!

Anyways, I'm looking at two pairs of tickets and was wondering if you could help me choose which pair would be better? I have been to other games, but people say the seating at Heinz is different, but in a better way. These seats are pretty similar, but if you could help me choose, that would be awesome!!

Section 511, row J
Section 513, row B

So yes, the seats in 513 are 8 rows closer, but they're on the 35 yd line, as opposed to the 511 seats (on the 50.)

I'm looking to buy them today or tomorrow, as seats sell out SO quickly there!

I would love any suggestions/opinions on this! Thank you!!

In the upper sections you're going to have a view of the whole field regardless, so it's less important--in my opinion--to be on the 50. I'd pick the closer seats in 513. Both sections are in the middle of the stadium, so no closed end/open end issues with weather, etc.

The one's on the 50, for sure!  Oh he's going to be soooo excited!  What a great idea!!

I'd definitely go for the closer ones because like Britt said, being higher up, you have a good view of the whole field so those 15 yards won't matter.

But that's a great idea for a gift, especially if you have never been! Have fun!

You'll still have a good view from the 35 yard line, especially because it isn't in the end zone. I'd buy the better bargain.
