I attend a lot of sporting events, mid to upper sections usually. I'm going to the NBA All-Star game, (seats in middle section), and I want to buy a pair of binoculars. Any suggestions?

I have never attended a professional basketball game, so I do not know exactly what distances are involved. But I do know that you will want a pair with a wide field of view so you can see everything going on on the court. Do you wear glasses? Some binoculars are better suited to those who wear glasses than others. From a photo of the stadium, it does not appear that you could possibly be more than about 70 to 80 yards from the furthest action. A compact pair would be easier to carry around. They do not prove satisfactory though for people wearing eye-glasses. You have to take your glasses off to use them. Very inconvenient. At 100 yards an 8 power pair will provide a field of view of about 30 to 35 feet. That will allow you to see almost 1/2 court–not quite but almost. If you were 80 yards away then the participants would appear to be 10 yards away about. That might be too much power for a basketball game. I do not believe that compact binoculars come in 6 power, but I do think that would be a better choice in this particular case. Leopold makes a pair of 6×30 binoculars that has a very wide field of view. You would be able to see a 42 foot field of view at 100 yards. 6 power would make those 80 yards away appear 14 yards away. They are suitable fore eye glass wearers too. Here is a link

I think this pair would be the ones I would choose for this particular application or ones like them. I suspect you can find a similar pair in a discount store for maybe $35 but check the field of view. It is very important. 6×30 generally have a very wide field of view.
Here is a compact pair that is about similar

Or should I should focus on TV, not so much on track events? Thoughts?

condition condition condition your hair … have them braid your hair straight back so it will cause less damage. use human hair . if your black use yaki if you want a straight look NOT silky it looks cheap and fake. and wet and wavy if you want a curly look.
and if you dont want any hair out get a closure so it will look more natural .
stay away form milky way the regular brand and beverly johnson
wrap it up night … oil your scalp and wash the hair twice a week if your using remy hair .wash your scalp using dry shampoo

The Astronomical League has several observing programs that are geared towards binocular viewing. While you need to be a AL member to receive the award, the observing lists are free for anyone to use.
I would also look at using a mount for the binoculars, so that you are not always holding them. Something like this can be made by just about anyone with simple tools.
