How well do these work for sporting events like football and hockey?

Honestly I think it's the best bang for your buck for any activity. Crisp, bright, low dispersion glass and wide FOV make it ideal.

The Monarch 7 will work great for hunting, birding or sporting events inside or outside. The raincap will not stay on if using them during wet weather. I put several layers of duct tape on the I.D. to help keep in place. Overall an excellent binocular.

Wide field of view, bright colors, I would say very well. They also do a great job as the sun is going down/dim conditions for their measurements. Lenscap fit is a little loose, which is my only complaint - I'd suggest keeping them in the case to keep the lenses clean. Nice grippy rubber shell though.

We used two of these to score a horseshoe tournament. I don't know how big your venue is, but I would imagine that these would work for you. They worked very well for us!

I would not use my 85mm for sporting events, I would use my AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED. And use the sports mode on the dial. I am not a pro though.

I've actually used them while playing computer games while my roommate watched football on TV just a few feet away (4-5'). They do an okay job at that. I could really only hear the TV when my game was quiet. They'll probably work pretty well as long as you sit a little farther away than I did.

Yes I do recommend them, we actually purchased them for the announcers booth at the football games for my husband. He's probably up and down at least 50 times a game and they held up greAt! He liked them so much that after season was over he brought them home for his man cave!

Yes, they work perfectly. I used them at a TedX event throughout the venue and they held up fine. I hope that helps.

Yes. They work great too. My wife and used them last year at the Indy 500 and they were life savers. They are heavy which is relevant if checking them on an airplane.

They should work fine in Football cleats. My daughter wears hers for Basketball, Volleyball and soccer.

I haven't tried it on sporting events so can't really comment but I would be concerned about the speed resulting in blurred shots.

I guess it depends how bright is outside. If it is really sunny it might be hard to read the scoreboard. Other than that it should work fine.

They are good for movies, music, and games. The mic quality is ok. However, they are not the most comfortable headphones, but if you wear them over a hoodie then problem solved.

Yess, they actually do. and they do work pretty well. i use them all the time when playing battlefield 4 or advanced warfare.

Yes, these binoculars are excellent for sporting events because they are small, but still have very good clarity and zoom.

yes! it worked fine for hockey goalies helmets, i don't see how different it would be with football helmets

I used them hunting in Wisconsin last month. They are super clear and worked great for game 200 - 400 yards away.

They stay well and are sweat proof like the sports model. The problem I had was my ear canal cartilages would get sore after prolonged use unfortunately. Most people don't seem to be having that issue though.

Definitely! We just bought these for that purpose and they work wonderfully. You should only hear NASCAR in my living room - truly surround sound at its best!
