Regarding where to sit for the nets london game

by shea23 on Sep 1, 2010 10:27 AM EDT

Quick question for those used to attending basketball games which are the best spots to sit? I remember people breaking down which seats they liked before. I was thinking center court lower tier would offer the best view. Rather than looking at an angle or being behind the baskets. Obviously I'm excluding the very expensive floor seats or court-side seats from this query. And I don't intend going for upper tier either since that is very away in the o2 arena. Thanks in advance.

I like anything but behind the baskets. They get in the way.

honestly,

mid court, about halfway up the lower bowl is perfect. I also really like the first couple rows in the upper bowl. It’s close enough, yet you get that higher angle which is fantastic for seeing plays develop, spacing, etc.

It depends on your preference or objective in watching live games.

If your objective is to see the players up close and personal, then you go as low as possible, regardless if it is behind the basket, corner or at mid-court.

Now, if you don’t really care about seeing them up close and personal, and you just want to experience watching live basketball, then mid-court will always be the best, since there will be no backboard to obstruct your view of the entire floor.

Me? I watch live games and concerts to see the players and performers up close and personal. So, if I can’t get as low as possible or as near as possible to the stage, I wouldn’t bother watching live at all.
