Bringing binoculars to a football game is a very good idea as it may come in handy. You can use them to have a more detailed look at the game or the players. You want to make sure that you have a binocular with a wide field of view and a magnification of at least 6X. Compact binoculars are the best bet for football games because they are smaller and lighter to carry around. It is also important to have waterproof binoculars in case of rain, and rubber covered so that it survives the bumps and falls it may encounter during the game.
