I know they are not that popular, especially with all the great views from the Big House. In addition to looking out of place, binoculars at sporting events have some big downsides. First of all, many are just overpowered and keeping plays, and players in the field of view can be challenging. The wideness of the view is also not ideal with standard options.
I did some research, and found a great solution for those that want to get a bit closer to the action ... an Xtra-Wide AUTOFOCUS binocular option nearly perfectly designed for watching football ... and not too expensive as well:
Bushnell 4x30 Xtra-Wide 900 Feet Field of View Travel Binoculars

Bushnell's 4x30mm Xtra-Wide compact binoculars are the hottest ticket around for watching sporting events. They offer a field of view twice as wide as that of most binoculars, so you can seeALL the action - even a bullet pass down the sidelines that most viewers would just miss.
