Where to sit?

[hujsh]

After seeing the seat viewer on the Bulldogs site i realised i haven't sat in many places. I was wondering where you sat and whether it is a good spot.

I normally sit on the a flank on the top level and really like it. I've also sat infront of the goals on level 1 and you see very different things.

Hardly a bad seat at the dome so I don't think it makes too much difference.

I'm on the 2nd level in one of the back rows

But you can see different things. Up the top you see the whole field and you can see guys lead and create space ect. When in front of the goals you can obviously see if it is a goal. If you're on the bottom on the wing you can see the ruckwork. All that stuff

We have been on Level 1 aisle 19 (i think) for the past 5 years. Theres 5 seats at the back that my family occupy. They are great seats, at the back of us are the toilets and food bar. Id recommend them to anyone, but they are pretty pricey.

I always like to sit up the top on the wing, you get a great view of all the play. I've sat on the fence a couple of times and it's impossible to see whats going on on the far side of the ground.

Level 1 Aisle 17.

Had these seats for quite a while now, we love them. We're right at the end of a line, meaning we aren't bombarded with people walking in front of us trying to get to their seats during the game. Additionally, across to our left in the next stand is where all the players sit and it's always good to have a look who's about.

Toilets & food are very nearby whilst it's also a very good view. Fairly close to the action, but also high enough to scan the entire ground pretty well.

The Dome's terrific to watch the footy.

Level 2, Aisle 34. Terrific view.

Hey, I am on level 2 Isle 33, row s (I think), not bad spot, prefer down towards row c d, ie closer to the fence.

Level 3, usually behind the goals or on a HFF.

Re: Where to sit?

I'm a level one fan, close to the action as i can be.

I have a membership on level 1, Row A Aisle 33...Lockett end to my right, 30m from the 50m line..very good spot, enjoy sitting there that close immensly

Level One, right on the halfway line. Great bunch of people around me .. families, older couples. We've all sat in the same spot since the Dome opened and it's like meeting up with old friends when the season gets underway.

Sitting down on the ground on the wing at the games at the 'G is wonderful. Wish we had more of them.

During Finals tend to sit between the wing and the goals (level one). Never had a bad game (except in '97, of course. I was behind the goals and Libba's kick went right over me. How the goal umpire missed that I'll never know.)

Sat up in Level 2 and 3 when we played the Bombers the last couple of years. Very, very different perspective, far more a tactical viewpoint compared to sitting down at the halfway line where you can literally reach out and touch the grass (and smell the sweat and grab the ball when it comes over the fence).

Just love Level One. Nothing beats being close to the action.

I also sit on Level 1 by choice - like you we have had those seats from day dot when we first started at the Dome. When the gold, silver and bronze memberships started I had the option to go to level 2 on the wing but I didn't want to leave the Level 1 atmosphere. So I have gold membership but sit on Level 1. We also have really good people surrounding us and as you mentioned in your post they are like old friends when the season starts we always look forward to having a chat with them. Away Telstra Dome games we sit on Level 2 for something different.

Re: Where to sit?

On a similiar note, I've got a question for the mums and dads.
I don't have a regular seat (mainly because I don't go regularly with the same people and my partner barracks for Hawthorn), but usually sitr on level 3 behind the goals or stand on level 1.
I do however have a 5 month old Bulldogs member who will be going to her first game in about 6 weeks. Does anyone have any advice about where to sit, good spots if you've got a pram, things like that. I know what Telstra Dome officialdom is like so if anyone has any good advice, do's or dont's that'd be much appreciated.

ooooh, the mystery deepens... you could be that lovely lass sitting quietly (with her lovely husband, no doubt) two rows over (completely hypothetical seating arrangement -- I am usually too focussed on Cooney's calves and Farran's falling over to notice any lovely lasses, although I'm sure that the Dogs attract the best women -- present company being case in point).

I wonder if this post is in the right taste, or if I will be censured for my overtly social musings...

Maybe the top of level 1? Everywhere else would be a pain with a pram. There always seems to be empty handicaped seats so maybe you could set up camp there?

That's one thought I had. I'd carry her on my chest and leave the pram at home but then she'd have me yelling in her ear all day. Don't want her first memory to be of me yelling at Eagleton to chase
