I am a big Minnesota Vikings fan and they are coming to St.Louis in December. It is awhile away but I am planning early so that I have money for tickets. I don't want to spend a fourtune on tickets but I don't want to sit way up top. I want to be able to see the whole game and not be obstructed by players benches and stuff. I have only been to one Rams game in my life I sat upper endzone and it was terrible. With that said where would you sit at a football game. Here is a seating chart of Edward Jones Dome.

I will see if I can dig up my old tickets. I have been to 2 Vikings Packers games and both times I lucked out into awesome seats. Can't remember off the top of my head where they were though.

I like the upper level.... not nose bleed seats. Just above the lower section ... maybe first 5-10 rows of upper level. You can see the play formations better. You can see if a WR gets separation.

This is what I was thinking. I think for the Rams it is actually more expensive to sit up a level than at the Bottom. Also it is the Rams in December there should be only 2 thousand people there so I should be able to move around a little bit as long as security gaurds are not jerks! I mean by December the Rams will probably be dead last and everyone will be unhappy and just stay home, imagine if they had an outdoor venue there would be only 10 people there.

oops, I misread thinking you would be in Minnesota. My ticket spots probably wouldn't help in St. Louis haha.


I was around the 50 yard line but on the top level for one game and could see the whole field nicely. The second time I was in the corner of an endzone on the lower top level. Great view of the action by you but the other end zone was difficult to see.

I will probably go to Minnesota for a game within the next 2 years! Hopefully they get the new stadium they need.

You can't beat mid-level in the 40 to 40 yard line range.

I changed my lower box season tickets for the Niners because I could see the entire field better from the Upper Reserved in the first 5 rows. Upper Box is also good.

I love end zone 5-15 rows up from upright to upright. Had tickets to arrowhead next to the pep band and at rosenblatt for the Omaha nighthawks.. The action is always more intense during red zone trips, kickoffs, and while it's harder to judge yards gained its cool as hell to see formations, have plays coming right at you, and yelling at jay Fiedler!

Just got ticket to see my Minnesota Vikings play the Rams December 16th in STL. My dads lawyer gave us them. Sadly he kept his 50 yrd line seats for himself for that game (DAMN!) He had given us Cardinals vs Rams tickets but my dad was like my son likes the Vikings so he gave us both sets of tickets (4 tix to each game. $360 in tickets) Im excited I will probably try to get some autographs and attempt to be at the tunnel after the game to try for gloves and stuff. Its a December Vikings Rams game so there should be about 1000 people there if the rams suck as bad as we all know they are going too. Im sitting in section 427

I've only been to one NFL game. We were in the second deck, roughly the 50 yard line. All the action could be seen, and we weren't too high up.

In front of your 70" flat screen.

This is usually my mindset. Football kind of sucks in person but oh well. I record HS football as a job in the fall it really sucks, but i make like 250 to record 1 game a week. I get payed about $25 a game but get payed at the end of the season so it is worth it I guess, except one of the coaches I have to deal with hates me and I have tried to get him fired repeatedly.
