A friend and I were at a Roger Waters show during the Wall tour at Staples Center, and had perfectly nice floor seats back by the soundboard.
I let him pick which ticket he wanted, and sure enough right when we settled in a tall basketball player with a huge afro stood right in front of him lol.
We're both apprx. 6'2" so usually not an issue, but when you have a gargantuan 7ft basketball player with an extra foot of hair in front of you, well...my friend was a bit frustrated.
Anyhow, I'd probably opt for the side/lower bowl seats, but it would seem those extreme side views could be just as frustrating as if someone is standing right in front of you on the floor...tough choice...
