Hello folks! My first post here. Please be kind to the newbie. 
I would like to spend about $500 on a pair of binocs that I will use for birding, but would also like to use them at football games. From what I can tell I am at cross purposes in this quest...needing a narrow field for birding, but a larger field for viewing my team from the stands. Is it possible to get a "compromise" that would serve my purposes? Oh, I wear glasses so need to take that into consideration.
Thank you for your time.
hi Not that Bob and welcome to the forum
I'm a little confused as most birders like a wide field of views. I presume you want something not too big? I'd imagine some of the compact 8x20's from the likes of Nikon, Leica, Zeiss and Swarovski might fit the bill? They'll easily fit in a jacket pocket.
Hi Bob,
A warm welcome to BirdForum from all the Moderators and Admin.
I would certainly get as wide a field of view as possible for birding. Just try out different bins and buy the one that suits. Could be useful to judge whether your team makes that first down!
