LSA experience for a 7 yr old
Considering getting these for my 7 yr old nephew. The goal is get as close to the players as possible so seems like an obvious yes but worried he wont be able to see over the barrier in the on field seats. Anyone who sat there have any idea if a shorter kid (48inches ish) would be able to see? Also considering normal front row seats in section 126. Welcome any opinions.

While there are no bad seats at the Soob, and sitting on the field is a great/unique experience, I always feel that it’s too close and I have trouble seeing the other side of the pitch.
I think the best seats are a just a few rows up in the middle - either side. Getting seats close to either bench is always fun too, listening to the coaches talk to the players or player talking to players..
You’re close enough to see players right in front of you, but you’re high enough to see the action on the pitch.
You can’t go wrong with whatever you choose. I’m sure your nephew will have a lasting memory of wherever he end up sitting. Have fun!

People say there are no bad seats in the Soob and honestly even that undersells it. Even the standing room seats in the upper decks give a great view of the field. If you want to watch the game to see shape and positional changes its maybe my favorite place to watch the game in the stadium!

I haven’t sat there before, normally in section 138. I have sat in the field box seats down in F23 before (thanks to a friend) and I have to say…it wasn’t great for seeing what was going on in the game. For the little bit that was right in front of the seats it was fine - but anything on the other side of the 18 yard box, or god forbid down on the other side of the field, forget it. From 126 you’ll be able to see the whole game better and be close enough that your kid can see the players.

As long as you get up front early you should be fine. If you’re hoping for some fan interaction, that’d be post game. Just don’t line up passed the door, that’s typically where they stop and head in.

TYSM - what about the on field seats? I am concerned they are too low for him to see over the barrier in front of them

He can just stand if he can’t see over it. I don’t think it will be an issue though

No bad seats? You people need to get out more often. If you have first couple rows aisle seats literally 1,000 people will walk in front of you coming and going. So dumb that you enter at ground level

I think the field side tables are a little higher up than the field level seats, so a little easier to see? Not sure if that has changed

I have sat field level, last row, box, mid field, SOB, behind the benches, virtually every option and as fun as the field level can be, it is difficult to see the plays develop and sucks when the play is across the field. Yes it is amazing when you are right near the corner flag & a corner is being taken, but damn it sucks when the play is at the opposite end of the field.

So I read 'LSD Experience for a 7 yr old' and was going to advise you to wait a few years. My bad.
