    Thanks! We are row 38, so hopefully not in the Gods!
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    If your in this row for the Athletics then you have good/close seats to the track. We were there yesterday in row 36. This was 5 rows back from the start of the second tier. I could see everything fine :)

    Binoculars are a good idea esp if you are sat one end or the other as sometimes the action was away at the other end and it would help you seeing it, but the large screens showed all the action and they gave good comentary so you knew what was going on.

    Have a fantastic time, we certainly did! :j

    I take binoculars to most sporting events I attend , I like to see close up action and scan the crowds. I also enjoyed wathching the remote control minis :D

    I don't need binoculars I have my mega zoom camera! I zoom in all the way, view the pic and zoom in more if I want to get a closer look. I was doing this when spying on the royal box at Wimbledon, but I didn't see any celebs :( Although I did see Roger Federer watching his team mate play Andy Murray (and getting beat by him too :p)
