Y2HH Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm bringing my 6.x month old to a game today (with the wife tonight), and was wondering if there was anything I should know/do/bring...and or any rules that apply to me that I do not know of so I'm not caught off guard... Do I need to pay anything to get her in? I have club level seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 They charge you through the nose for breast milk at the stadium. I'd bring my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 You don't have to pay to get in if they are shorter than the turnstyle and sitting in your seat with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVVY18 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Make sure the baby is in the seat furthest from home plate and you are willing to get in front of anything coming your way to protect them. And make sure you are always watching the play when the ball is pitched. I know it sounds like a 1 in a million chance, but it does happen.

I'm in the club level to try to minimize the chances of this...and if the baby gets loud or something I can take her in so shes not bothering people.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Another question would be if 6 months is too young to be exposed to White Sox offense. I think there was a chapter about it in my child psychology book from a few semesters ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always brought a glove to make sure I could stop the ball before it got to the child. If you are in the club seats where the sun is on you, be sure to bring something to cover the child. It amazing what the sun even that late in the evening can do to a child's skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Well you already made a good decision on getting club seats - perfect if you have a kid. Quick shelter, nicer bathrooms, place for them to crawl around if you want them to, etc. We took our daughter to her first at 9 months, club seats, worked out great. They will inspect your bag and bottles, but no big deal. Bring water too, if your kid is old enough to be drinking it regularly yet (I can't remember anymore exactly when those things start to happen), you can even put it in a bottle. Also, make sure you bring a blanket or towel or something to set the kid on to change diapers, because there are likely no changing tables in the bathrooms that I recall. Also also, watch out for a reaction to the fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to pay anything to get her in? I have club level seats. The club level is probably the best spot you could be, as you can retreat inside to a couch or a much less crowded restroom if needed. When we took my oldest to her first game at 11 months, we got tickets there for that reason. As has been said, all you really need to worry about is the rare errant foul. Since the club seats are down the lines, I always made sure whoever was not holding the baby sat nearer to home plate. I hope the baby's first game is a White Sox Winner, but that's for selfish reasons, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Also don't forget to go to the main concourse at some point during the game. The customer service center down there will print you off a nice certificate to remember your kid's first game. It is cheesy, but free.

Like that one dad who just dropped his kid. What an amazing 'caught on tape' that was. Crazy what happens sometimes when a foul ball is involved.

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 So, how did the 14 innings go for your baby? I'm sure you left early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
