Default Has anyone ever watched a game at Giants Stadium or MSG?

I'm heading to NYC next month and I'm going to be hitting up Packers @ Giants and Pens @ Rags and I'm just wondering if anyone has been to either venue and can offer some insight into what ideal seating would be.

I'm buying tickets from stubhub.com and I just don't want to waste my money on subpar seats when better ones can be had. For the Rags game I'm looking to spend around $200 tops, and for the Giants game I'll go as high as $300.

Here's the seating charts for what is available:

MSG:

Giants:

Thanks!

I was at MSG for the Flames game last year, it was fun. I was in the nosebleeds and it felt like I was in the lower bowl just cause the old stadium kind of had that sort of feel. I think you'll be fine sitting in the nosebleeds and it'll feel like you are part of something historic, its pretty cool.

Didn't MSG just finish up a huge reno? Should be pretty sweet.

I've been to Shea Stadium and my seats were great.

I don't think they would be so good now though.

MSG was a blast, the fans were educated jerks.

Isn't Giants Stadium brand new?

I was at the old one. Everything was far away.

Yeah I've heard at MSG there isn't really a bad seat in the house, but I don't want to buy bleeders and be disappointed and regret not dishing out more cash.

MSG is a huge dump, but it's awesome.

MSG has some bad sight lines if you sit in the corners.
