Well, the very best place in my opinion is section 307 dead-center on the last row, as I observed during the special display on September 4th, 2011. This is about the same view, though lower, that the pyros have from the firing room.
The usual vibration in the grandstands caused by movements from the spectators, not to mention people banging their feet rythmically to the music, usually renders this spot useless for photography and filming, though.
On Sept. 4th, the intense rain one hour before the show discouraged many, leaving almost empty stands for me and a few others to enjoy !
Now, this is another world altogether during the regular season... |
