I shoot virtually every sport more than football. I would be interested in anyones view on the best position to shoot from and why.
Thanks!

There is a good shot opportunity virtually every play. I'm not sure there is a best option. For me, I set up more based on where the light is the best. Name: Kevin

Options:
From the end zone.
From the sidelines.
For many photographers, the standard strategy for U.S. football is to work from the sidelines, around 20 yards ahead of the offense, and then follow the ball. However, there's no bad location, as long as you're fortunate enough to have the key action in your viewfinder when it happens. One important point is whether or not you'll have the freedom to move along the sidelines as the action moves - not all stadiums will allow this.

Thanks for the comments and I do understand what has been said. Let me refine my question. When I shoot high level soccer, I am forced to pick a spot. That is pretty much it for the half, you stake it out and you do not have the opportunity to move. I am shooting a high level college game where I believe there will be about 100 credentialed photographers. I expect, like with soccer that the ability to move around will be limited. Hence, best spot for the highest percentage of keepers? www.stevenlimentaniphotography.com

I tend to set up on the left side of the endzone (when facing toward mid field) or that same side of the field when out by the 25. Right handed QB's have a bit more natural delivery to that side.

It's so basic, but I never thought about the left side being better than the right. Thanks for the tip.
