Calling Jim Bryant

[MOmilkman]

Jim,
I am going to this weekends Rams/Packers game and I was wondering if you have any tips for someone that might be shooting from the stands vs on field.
I have 8th row seats (30 yd line) so I like my vantage point for the game but how about before the game? Anything you would suggest?
What time do the players usually come out and throw around/practice before they dress out?
Any tips or helpful advice would be appreciated!
Thank you

[Jim Bryant]

Players normally filter onto to the field to stretch and warm up about a hour and a half before the game. Then again they go out in their prospective groups: Linebackers, defensive backs, kickers, backs, tight ends, defensive linemen and so on and practice as a unit.

From that height you should get some pretty decent shoots. Especially of the team area.

Have fun

Great! If I get any good action shots I'll be sure and come back and post. Too bad I'm stuck to just one view... but... just couldn't secrure a field pass

Thanks for the info

That, right there, is why I don't go to Football games. Something about sitting outside for 3 hours in the snow just doesn't fly.

Can you even see where the ball is in American Football?

If you sneak a 400mm lens in, maybe.

[MOmilkman]

I would try that but unfortunatley its a dome stadium
I prefer the elements such as Quest field in the picture you posted Osmosis.

That stadium with the cityscape in the backdrop is unbelieveable. I don't think the TWA Dome will give me the same vista.

Fried Chicken:
This is where my seats are so I hope I can see the ball!

Gawd...I was there for that game. It was so cold that my 400mm lens monopod mount froze in the horizontal position.It was colder than a well diggers' ass
