Pitchside Seating Experience

[Ulrich]

ever been to a high school game with bleachers on the sideline? it's that, 'cept better

oy, this site needs a sarcasm font.... I wouldn't really watch an entire game via the GoPro....

 

[mgarbowski]

I'm sorry, but I just cannot visualize any of this experience.... for the next game, please wear a mic'd-up GoPro on your head and record everything from the minute you enter the stadium to the final whistle (while kindly pausing it during the executive bathroom breaks). Dan can then stream it & we can all experience it vicariously through you!

I believe it would look something like this

One of the best scenes filmed ever!

Yep. I love the long tracking shots. That's a great one. The one in Spike Lee's Summer of Sam was terrific. There was a Nick Cage thriller directed by Brian DePalma called Snake Eyes that opened with a 13 minute sequence that sets up the rest of the film.

But, nothing beats the opening of The Player by Robert Altman, which opens with an 8 minute tracking shot that, in true Altmanesque style, picks up snippets of conversation from lots of people. This includes Buck Henry pitching The Graduate - Part 2, and one about how there aren't any tracking shots in movies anymore - the actor saying those lines? Jeremy Piven.

Yeah, that sequence was also money. Cannot imagine being the person to choreograph it to make certain everything is clicking on time.

Children of Men had a six minute tracking shot that was more or less unplanned. Great sequence!

Looks like Gotham Gator got his wish and Pitchside Seats will be a Cityzens auction. The first one is for the March 26th game versus New England.

Granddaddy of all tracking shots:

 

[roxfontaine]

Ooooh... I finally spent some points. I just got a pre-match field pass for my wife.

 

[LionNYC]

There are currently three separate Cityzens auctions for Pitchside Seats. The lowest one is starting at 1000 points with the highest one at 3000+ points. Each is for the same game vs. New England on March 26th.

I love the odd specificity of the price on that seat: $2,632.

If it is indeed my friend; trust me, it's calculated.

On the biggest business deal in my life I had a fantastic advisor who recommended that I use a non-round number (and not a 999 number that is really the 999+1 number). He said the specificity would make the other negotiator off balance, believing we had a credible reason for the number we chose. In fact, the number was really just the highest non-rounded number we could say without bursting out laughing over the ludicrousness of it. The other side said yes without questioning our number. It was one of the most bizarre and exciting professional experiences of my life.

So you're saying you want us all to think you have a really good reason for listing those seats at $2,632 ? Being so transparent is why most people wouldn't even think you're the one selling these

I assume I am like most people on this board, wishing I could have those seats, but actually sitting nowhere near them. I'm just happy to be in the stadium on game day. Leaving for YS in 2.5 hours. Heart pounding already.

 

[LionNYC]

Because it was cold I didn't get many shots during the game but here's some stuff pregame. Yankees bullpen, inside the club, and some training. Some of Vieira and subs training behind us.

Fixing the divots at halftime.

When it's warmer, I'll get better photos. Enjoy the above ones for now.

 

[Colin]

I actually got to sit pitch side for this game too- I got the etihad upgrade. It was really really cool, especially because you can hear Vieira yelling instructions, hear the players etc.
