I bought these to use at the Bears vs. Vikings Monday night football game on Dec. 28th. We had front row seats but I wanted to see just how close we could see. We sat behind the Vikings bench and we coudl see Lovie quite well. The game was great as the Bears won in overtime. The binoculars were everything I wanted. The only thing I'd change is the appearance as they looked more like what a man would take hunting. I don't hunt and I'd like for them to look a bit more sleek. Overall, they're great. The best magnification out there.
