Default Kids and NFL games

(Hillary Israeli) wrote in message ...

Anyway, I have a newly-3 year old kid and tickets to an NFL game here in
Philadelphia in November. So, I'm wondering, can we bring him? I mean, I
know we CAN, but what are the things I'm not thinking of that might be a
problem?? They're special "club" tickets, so we will have access to an
indoor clubhouse area if the weather is a problem or he gets cold or
whatever.


We had success taking our son to football and basketball games
(college not pro) until he was about 2 and very mobile. Then he
wasn't interested enough again until about age 11-12. Inbetween I
found I spent so much of my time trying to entertain him, making trips
to the concession stands and restrooms, etc. that it just wasn't
enjoyable for me. My 7 year old cannot bear to sit through the AAA
baseball games in town, we have about 1 hour of time before he is
bored stiff. So, in my experience, I would say it won't be much fun
for either you or your son.
