Taking a toddler to a Chiefs game...

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Good idea or bad idea? We're flying back home to go to the Chiefs/Steelers game in October. My wife and I are battling amongst ourselves whether to bring our 16 month old daughter (she'll be 19 months come October) to the game or leave her with family. We're gonna buy some earmuffs just in case we bring her to the game obviously, and practice trying to keep them on her lol.

We've taken her to Royals games and D-backs games already and she has a blast, but we know football is different and even with the earmuffs we'd be a bit nervous lol. As far as being rowdy is concerned, we wouldn't have to worry about that since it's a football game. Just rambling now lol.

Anyway, just wondering. I've never noticed any babies or toddlers at games but now that I have one it makes you think.

Exactly its Midwest 'merica finest at most games. You should expect anything less.

The simplest of things can turn a fun afternoon into a pit of fits, screaming and embarrassment. I've just learned a few tricks along the way, dear.

I'm an only child so my childhood was about experiencing life.

My first event was the 84 Olympics. My earliest memory at Dodger Stadium involved Stan Javier throwing me a baseball. Went to countless Rose Bowls for teams I didn't care about. Grew up in the forum.

My dad hated the Rams and the Raiders so those never happened. But he did take me to a freeway overpass to watch OJ and the White Bronco.

My Marli had had headsets for car races since she was an infant. And she's perfect. /mom I'm going to lose them all too soon. I absolutely want to watch them experience life while I can.

It was very mellow and sweet.

So, parents aren't supposed to bring their kids to football games so adults can unleash drunken profanities (which aren't covered by the first amendment btw) and act like total assholes without fear of retribution?

Okay.

I'm sure you've seen the signs stating that profanities and other acts of general stupidity aren't wanted or tolerated in the stadium, right?

Is Barney snapping the ****ing ball that day( don't answer )?

"Oh look; honey boo-boo brought their pissy-pants mini-me to the game today"! "Let's not get too loud or drink too much because God knows I just spent $175.00 for this shit, and now I get to watch football at the nursery".

I swear to God; half the people that breed probably shouldn't.

No shit...

You act and speak the same in front of children as you do around your buddies?

Glad you had a nice time, I took my then at the time 12 year old son to a Sunday afternoon game and had 2 drunks piss off the whole section. We sat one row behind and left in the 3rd quarter, wasn't worth it, I used common sense.

Back in the seventies, I had a G&S board with Bennett Pro trucks and road Rider 4 wheels. Enclosed bearings were brand new on the market.

That type of behavior shouldn't be acceptable whether or not there is a child present. Nothing at all changes by that child being there and suggesting that some type of announcement is necessary is absurd.
