SpotView, FieldView & ProView
Press boxes and film towers, built to your field.
Portable aluminum press boxes at 4', 6', and 10': the SpotView, the FieldView, and the ProView. The FT-10 film tower goes on the end of a SpotView. Pick an enclosure and the packages you need, and watch the price update. Roof and bench are painted (default light gray; other colors at no charge); the tower stays mill finish.
SpotView (4') and FieldView (6') are the same press box at two heights. The ProView is the 10' press box, quoted directly below. SpotView + FT-10 is the SpotView with the FT-10 film tower on the end, so one unit covers announcing and filming.

Which press box or film tower do you need?
If you need to work from the sideline — run the clock, spot, keep the book, announce — you need a press box: the SpotView at 4', the FieldView at 6', or the ProView at 10'. The ProView deck is high enough to film over the play. If you want the FT-10 film tower on the same unit as a press box, choose the SpotView + FT-10.
| You need… | Pick | Height | Price | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clock, spotting, announcing above the bench | SpotView | 4' | $20,999 | Any sideline where the crowd isn't standing in front of you |
| Sightline over a standing crowd on a busy near sideline | FieldView | 6' | $26,999 | Busier home sidelines, rail crowds |
| Announcer/scorer and game film from one unit | SpotView + FT-10 | 4' deck + film tower | $37,203 | Programs that want one footprint for the press crew and the camera |
| A 10' press box to work from and to film over the play | ProView | 10' | $29,499 (quote) | The tallest press box; also a high place to film from |

Built in North Carolina from the same aluminum as the shelters, to take years of sun, wind and rolling on and off the field.
Two ways to get above the play
ProView — 10' press box
The ProView is the tallest press box in the line, alongside the SpotView at 4' and the FieldView at 6': a 10' aluminum deck. Filming from it is a normal use — high enough to shoot over the play instead of through it — and it is still a press box for the clock, spotting, and announcing. If your video staff shoots from a rented scissor lift or the top row of the bleachers today, this replaces that perch, and it is there on the days you did not book anything. Same frame and options as the other press boxes. It is not in the builder yet, so we quote it directly.

SpotView + FT-10 — press box with a film tower on the end
The SpotView + FT-10 pairs a 4' SpotView press box with the FT-10 film tower attached to its end. Your announcer and scorer work from the deck; your camera goes up the tower. One unit, one footprint on the sideline, configured and priced in the builder above.

For college football and soccer facilities
Football. Game film and practice film both want height — most programs want 8–10 feet of viewing height. The ProView is a 10' press box, high enough for the camera. The SpotView + FT-10 puts the FT-10 film tower on the end of a 4' press box. Both roll on casters, and the tow kit (2" receiver drawbar) moves them behind a utility vehicle between the stadium and practice fields.
Soccer, lacrosse and field hockey. A wide field and a touchline crowd make a 6' FieldView the usual press box for game day, and a film tower for tactical review. Because every unit is portable, one platform can serve the soccer, lacrosse and field hockey fields across the season.
Prefab, not built on site
Prefabricated. The structure is cut, welded and finished in our North Carolina shop rather than framed on your field — no site construction, no schedule, no punch list.
There is assembly on arrival, and how much depends on the model and the options you choose; ask and we will tell you exactly what is involved before you order.
Once it is together it rolls on casters, so it can move to another field or into storage rather than standing in one spot for twenty years.
Questions we get asked.
What's the difference between the 4' and the 6'?+
Deck height, and what it buys you. The SpotView (4') puts you above the bench and the touchline — enough for the clock, spotting and announcing. The FieldView (6') clears a standing crowd along the near touchline, which is the one thing a 4' deck cannot do on a busy sideline. Same frame, same options, same build.
What's the difference between the ProView and the SpotView + FT-10?+
The ProView is a 10' press box, the tallest in the line alongside the SpotView (4') and the FieldView (6'), $29,499, quoted directly. You can film from that deck. The SpotView + FT-10 is a 4' SpotView press box with the FT-10 film tower on its end, so one unit carries both the press crew and the camera, $37,203 in the builder. Choose the ProView for a 10' press box. Choose the SpotView + FT-10 when you want the 4' press box and the film tower on the same unit.
How high does a film tower need to be for football filming?+
For game film and practice footage, most programs want 8-10 feet of viewing height. The ProView is a 10' press box, high enough to shoot over the play. The SpotView and FieldView are 4' and 6' press boxes for working from. The FT-10 is the film tower: the SpotView + FT-10 puts it on the end of the 4' press box.
Do I need the enclosure?+
It depends on your season, not your budget. Open is a platform — fine for a dry afternoon and a scorer. Canvas takes the wind off three sides. The plexiglass options are a room you can work in through a season: the 3-sided has a door at the entry, and the 4-sided adds the lift-up front hatch so you can shut the front and still see out.
Are these prefab press boxes, or built on site?+
Prefabricated. The structure is cut, welded and finished in our North Carolina shop rather than framed on your field, which is the practical difference between buying a press box and hiring a contractor to build one — no site construction, no schedule, no punch list. There is assembly on arrival, and how much depends on the model and the options you choose; ask and we will tell you exactly what is involved before you order. Once it is together it rolls on casters, so it can move to another field or into storage rather than standing in one spot for twenty years.
Can it be moved between fields?+
Yes. Every unit rolls on four casters, two of which lock. Add the tow kit — a carbon steel drawbar with a 2" receiver — and it goes behind a utility vehicle between venues rather than being pushed.
Are portable film towers better than renting scissor lifts?+
For programs that film every week, owning usually beats renting: the tower is on your sideline every game and practice, not just the days you booked a lift, and you're not paying for each use.
How long does a press box take, and where do you ship?+
Standard lead time is 4–6 weeks. We ship nationwide and to Canada; freight is quoted separately. Assembly on arrival is by your crew or a local contractor.
