B doesn't like to be held and insists on being a "big boy" and walking on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971668 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 08:11:53 +0000 MrsF 971668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think M would like it at 10 months and the tickets are SO expensive that I wouldn't waste it being stressed about handling the crying, etc. I'll be looking forward to going when she's older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971662 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 08:10:41 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 971662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my husband this last night, just after reading the thread title, and he laughed. We have a going on 5 month old and a going on 18 month old. If we wanted to go to a sports event, we'd probably do it sans kids for the first three years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971646 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 08:07:57 +0000 edelweiss 971646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think bringing LO to a football game would be fun, but only the actual game part--i don't want to deal with traffic, crowds, changing diapers in god knows what kind of conditions, etc. so i guess my realistic answer is no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971631 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 08:04:45 +0000 lomom 971631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: lol the Bengals fans aren't exactly hardcore ;) Cincinnati is my #2 team (Dallas being #1!) so that's where we'd be taking LO. I can imagine a Pats game being too extreme for kids and probably a few others! But the games we've been to at Paul Brown, most people sat the whole time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971620 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 08:02:16 +0000 MrsTiz 971620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nooo.</p> <p>I don't do sports, but DH likes one NFL team so he tries to go to a game a season..even he said "heck no!" because last time we went I left covered in beer that people were throwing around. This year for the game DH is going to, he's taking his dad instead of me because we agree that LO shouldn't go to a game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971611 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 07:58:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 971611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Cause then I'd have to go! :p not a sports fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971605 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 07:55:46 +0000 regberadaisy 971605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: haha we are in a HUGE sports town and people get very rowdy at games. And oh no, not a bad experience, we LOVED our seasons and tailgated at the crack of dawn at every single game. Think our winter games freeze the Pats bums off. ;) But from what I've seen and hear about other teams with hardcore fans it's no place for a child, IMO.</p> <p>DH and I both agree we won't take our kids to a NFL game till they are at least a preteen.</p> <p>Sports will definitely be a big part of our kid's childhoods. Sunday during football season is Football Sunday so they will def get to enjoy football Sunday. At home. :) DH literally plans his day around being done with all household chores at 12:00pm sharp. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971572 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 07:43:17 +0000 lomom 971572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: wow, what stadium do you go to? We've been to several games and while there were a few drunk people, it wasn't horrible. I'd definitely take LO once he understood the game and could appreciate it. If he weren't such a hot mess when overstimulated, I'd almost take him at 7 months. I think Paul Brown Stadium has a reputation for being family friendly though. I can't speak to other stadiums but that's sad that it was such a bad experience for you guys :( I love love love football and I hope it's something LO and I can enjoy together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971553 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 07:34:22 +0000 regberadaisy 971553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry...it has to be said. HELL NO.</p> <p>We were season holders for a few years and I would never bring a child to a NFL game much less an infant. It's just no place for a child even on Kid's Day.</p> <p>People are loud, drunk and obnoxious.</p> <p>No way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971330 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:21:33 +0000 AprilFool 971330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to an NRL (Aussie version) for DH's 30th birthday when LO was 2 months old. We took LO in the carrier but mainly held and nursed her. She was a little freaked by the noise the first few times the crowd cheered but got used to it. She actually slept most of the game. It was pretty easy and we'll do it again once it warms up a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971285 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 22:43:35 +0000 lemondrop 971285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we've taken him to all of the major sports- baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. Basketball was the biggest challenge, it is such a super small seating area and he was extremely squirmy at 10 months (but EVERYTHING was a challenge for us at 10 months!). Hockey was C's favorite, he was enthralled by the fast action! :)</p> <p>We really aren't into tailgating, so we weren't there for more than the actual game. We got good seats, so it wasn't around the drunken masses as it can be in the nosebleeds. Plus our team doesn't quite have as many passionate fans as others do, so it wasn't really a bad environment to be in with an almost 12 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-971228 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 21:53:08 +0000 Anagram 971228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ih,m....Not sure if we just got lucky at previous NFL games, but we've never had issues with drunken idiots. Usually, we're surrounded by families and couples. The last game we went to, the only annoyance were the 8 and 10 year old boys seated behind us who were taking it a little TOO seriously that we were rooting for the opposing team and were getting kinda too into booing in our ears when our team made touchdowns. And they were only with their dad, and sadly he wasn't reigning them in at all. But I'd put them at about a 4 in the annoying/loud scale.</p> <p>But maybe I'll push for box seats if we take LO, so it's more calm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970835 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:49:13 +0000 Smurfette 970835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970719 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 16:29:00 +0000 lomom 970719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! I never considered the drunken idiot risk or him being overstimulated. He's a hot mess when there's a lot going on! </p> <p>Sounds like a babysitter is the right decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970614 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:26:02 +0000 Boheme 970614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. There's too high of a chance we'd have to leave early and the tickets are too expensive to risk that. Plus it's too loud and crowded. My baby is a mess when he's overstimulated like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970611 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:22:29 +0000 Pepper 970611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: agree 100%! </p> <p>Additionally, our local team charges full price admission for babies! Ridiculous when they're obviously not taking up a seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970583 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:06:03 +0000 yoursilverlining 970583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't. I definitely wouldn't do it unless you and your husband (or whoever you go with) are 100% totally ok with leaving the game early. If leaving early would be a bummer, then I wouldn't do it. That's a long time for a baby to behave themselves. Depending on where you live, it might be too cold? All the Pats games I've been to, I froze my behind off! Even with coat and blankets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970571 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:58:15 +0000 autumnlove 970571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970567 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:56:57 +0000 luckypenny 970567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't :( too loud, have to deal with the weather, rowdy drunk people </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970560 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:54:03 +0000 photojane 970560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be worried about the noise with a 7-month-old, but I would be worried about the drunken idiots. I think it kind of depends on where you sit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970526 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:22:35 +0000 MrsH 970526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think baseball yes football no. Just to noisy and not baby friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970521 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:17:38 +0000 fancyfunction 970521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan on taking her to games when she's older - at least 5 I'd say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970324 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 11:31:22 +0000 Anagram 970324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband wants to do this soon.... As in, this season when our daughter will be 3 months. He wants to take her to the giants/Vikings game and has already ordered her a Vikings onesie. I'll let you know how it turns out. Could be a nightmare, but could be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970286 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 10:58:56 +0000 rachiecakes 970286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only thing I'd worry about is its such a long game, especially if you tailgate, traffic getting in &amp; out, etc. But my LO also will only sleep in the Ergo if he's cried himself to sleep exhausted &amp; that's never fun for me, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970283 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 10:56:07 +0000 Ra 970283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baseball game, yes. NFL game, no. I love football, but drunken idiots get on my nerves when I'm alone. If I had LO, I'd be so annoyed/pissed/worried I don't think I'd have a good time. People get too rowdy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-lo-to-an-nfl-game#post-970277 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 10:47:11 +0000 lomom 970277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious!</p> <p>I'm considering it but he wouldn't remember it, it might be too loud, and I'd probably have more fun if I didn't have to worry about him. </p> <p>I'd baby wear and he'd be almost 7 months. I think it'd be more fun once he's older and could remember. </p> <p>Would you? Have you? </p>
