Here's a funny-cause-it's-true essay by ESPN's Jim Caple on vantage points at different stadia he's like to see games from, a la the seats atop the Green Monster in Fenway. A sample:

I want to be strapped horizontally into the retracted football seats beyond centerfield in the Metrodome, hanging there and facing the ground like a vampire bat, just waiting for that moment when Torii Hunter leaps into my view, reaches over the fence and steals a home run. After throwing the ball back to the infield, he will smile and shout, "How's your seat?'' And I will reply, "OK, except my beer keeps spilling out of the cup holder.''
