Section 538 at M&T Bank Stadium

The guard railings in the first row of the 500 level were a huge obstacle when trying to actually watch the game on the field instead of just the scoreboard. I was on the aisle in Seat 1 and had the highest portion of the guard rail right in my line of sight, but it does get shorter in the seats toward the middle so I would have been better off sitting further in. When you sit back, you can see maybe 60% of the field without looking between the bars, and the only way to remedy the obstruction is to lean way forward which got to be very uncomfortable after a long period of time. The legroom also felt much more limited in Row 1 as the concrete juts out toward you from the front wall, limiting the amount of space you have to put your feet.

It is one helluva hike up the stairs to get to these seats. If you sit here, don't plan on moving a lot to get concessions. If you do, you'll spend half the game going up and down the stairs. The view is kind of cool as you look down on the field, but the players are about a mile away. You are looking right at one of the scoreboards. But again, it's about a mile away. If you just want to get in the stadium to see the Ravens, these tickets are ideal. But if you're bringing the family or looking for the ultimate gameday experience, you're not going to find it up here.
