Binocular help Tigers !

OK Tigers, I need some help - been using binoculars for over 50 years to see the Tigers play. They are Tasco 7x35 with an extra wide field of view of around 625/1000 yards. They give me a pretty good view of the field but are getting less clear. Looking to upgrade to a better pair for the years I have left ! Any recommendations for a good but decently priced pair ? Thanks

Put this on outdoor board will get much better answers. Post it first thing in the morning and bump it at lunch and dinner time.
I fish a lot so I enjoy the binos with the stabilation switch or what ever to help with rocking boat or shaky hands.
I believe the make variable stabilization capable binos now.

Have you considered a telescope?

Apparently you do.

I'll ask my grandma what kind she uses, she has this pair she loves using for people watching...

You are already using a good magnification. For football use, I'd get old school porro prisms at 7-8 power magnification and with 35-42mm lenses. Porros tend to have better optics for less money, and their shape makes them easy to hold. The trade-off is that they are heavier and bulkier than roof prisms. You are hiking up a stadium rather than a mountain so weight and size should not be a big deal. Nikon makes some affordable ones (Aculon and Action Extreme).

For watching football I wouldn't spend over $250 for binos.
Vortex makes some good ones in that price range.
8x42, 10x50 are going to be very bright albeit the 10x50 maybe heavy.

Vortex can’t be beat for the price
The diamondback and triumph models are the cheapest vortex makes but are great for their price point

With optics, you can never go wrong with Leuopold

Less clear? That does not make a lot of sense unless somehow they have "degraded". Maybe have your eyes examined. Not trying to be a smartass.

You're not going to like the price, but get something with image stabilization. I use the Sig Sauer 20x42. You can find used for 600-700 and new for about $1000 (10% off + sale).
I use this for recurve target archery and can track arrows with it. Magnification without image stabilization is frustrating to the core!!!

I’ve got some vortex triumph 10x42, I believe.
I paid 100 bucks and they punch WAY above that price point.
