Chiefs Taking a toddler to a Chiefs game... - Page 3

Chiefs Pantalones · 08-01-2015, 04:34 PM

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.

Are next one will likely be the devil though that's how it goes lol.

Some kids are good in public, some are not. Only thing I'd be concerned about is the noise. Could frighten her.

I never took my son to any sporting events when he was little, but I took him to movies all the time. I would get a few 'looks' before the movie, but he was always great.

I'd say don't do it. I'd wait until she's 4 or 5.

Holy shit! Welcome back!

I assume you still would have to buy her a ticket? If that's the case, that sounds like a lot of money for something she won't remember.

She'd be on a lap the entire time. No way a child that young will need a seat or even want to sit in a seat.

Arrowhead doesn't require a purchase of ticket unless a child is 3 or older.

Great idea!

Wait, lol, not at all.

Huh. If that's the case, it's probably not something I would want to mess with, but to each his own.

tmax63 · 08-01-2015, 06:15 PM

I wouldn't. She's not old enough to remember anything. IMHO until kids get old enough to remember going and enjoying it there's not really any good reason to take them IF you have good plans for her. That also gives you and momma a chance to have a few hours of "me" time.

You seem nice.

I can't believe this is even a thread. How can anyone entertain the thought of taking a toddler to an NFL game? I'm not concerned about the child's behavior, I'm concerned about others behavior around the child. Why would you put your child in a situation, where anything from a beer being spilled on her to a drunken fight in the stand causing her bodily harm could happen? It just sounds irresponsible.

Where is saccopoo to call social services?

tailgate? yes
game? not

I agree. It shouldn't even be a second thought at that age. And I was being liberal when I said 4 or 5 earlier. I'd lean more towards 7 as the minimum age.

Katipan · 08-01-2015, 06:22 PM

That's hilarious. Apparently we make others behave themselves.

I knew I was intimidating but I didn't know it was that extreme.

QFT.

The people around you would probably be too shitfaced to even notice the baby, which is where the bulk of the problem stems from.

Plus it's just ****ing loud as shit. The OP is like one of those dumbasses that brings their dog to the bar. Those people are a special kind of idiot.
