To be fair, near the front it's an excellent view. Pretty much the same as the TV cameras and great for seeing formations etc. You can get really annoyed with players for not spotting that someone was completely in the clear if only they'd hit a first time 40 yard pass. Well, some people do... :D
Yep. I'm sure you're right - it's a nigh on useless system in my experience as inferior seats stop good ones being made available. But may as well list them just in case.
