Site Offers 3D View Of Stadiums And Arenas By Section

One of the more frustrating and dicey aspects of purchasing tickets, especially for seats in sections further away from the action, is trying to guess the sight lines or whether an obstruction might block your view of the game. Obviously, this is a job for technology.↵

↵↵So here comes the Internet, cape blowing with the breeze, to address the the issue. The ↵Web site Seats3D endeavors to make things easier for fans by providing three dimensional views of entire sports venues. The user has the ability to adjust the perspective to clicking on individual seating sections, thus granting the consumer the ability to contrast their prospective vantage point prior to buying their tickets. It’s also a nice little time waster for those not in the mood to spend money.↵

↵↵The downside is that there is a limited representation of venues from the various major professional sports. While nearly all NBA arenas are covered, there are fewer than 10 MLB ballparks available. The capability, developed by Ballena Technologies, is being utilized by the official stadium facility Web sites, but their home site offers a handy listing for easy searching.↵
