I have a pair of Zeiss Victory 8x42 and a Leupold GR 8x32 with the same 420' FoV. I had a pair of Yosemite 6x30 for awhile and returned them because of the same FoV.
The only thing I can find with a larger FoV plus eye relief is the Nikon 7x35 Action Extreme with 489' and 17mm+ eye relief. Two places online have these for $95 and free shipping. Is there anything better for stadium viewing at this price? Thanks.
Depends on how long you can hold them up. If it is the entire game, the lighter pair with comfortable eye cups should be chosen. 7x and 8x are plenty for theater and sports. Maybe 10x for the odd sport with distant action.
I have never used bins in a sports stadium. It would be something fun to try though. What are you looking for exactly? Wide field of view? Ultimate optical quality with a wide field of view? What magnification?
Price range?
What about something like this?

I cannot speak to the optical performance but a 900 foot field of view sounds interesting.....
...otherwise the Action Extreme 7x35s sound good.
*Just read the reviews. The Bushnells seem made for stadium viewing but with only a listed 10 mm of eye relief. :(
