I STRONGLY DISCOURAGE!!! UNLESS you are committed to arrive before the gates open and line up to insure you are first to get in. Keep in mind it is truly SRO and out of the five hours (two hours before game) of standing you need to go to the restroom, you could lose your spot. If you arrive even 30 minutes to an hour before the game, you will be standing deep, you won't see the field, and possibly not the screen (the smaller screens which are in the endzones). Again, IF you are first group in and get a spot near the rail, it would be an ok to good experience, otherwise, it could be a big disappointment if your plans are to see your favorite team down on the field.
