Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to ignore all the NFL playoff excitement in my house. I don't fight it anymore, in fact, cheering with the boys has become my Sunday fun. Still, watching football players duke it out (especially in the snow) is one thing; watching them play in the snow while you sit in the stands in the snow, is something else! Fans are crazy--and kid fans are craziest!
Really, going to live sporting events with the kids can be
some of the most memorable fun a family can make. Next year my hubby
and I are planning to get to at least one pro baseball, basketball and
football game with the boys. But before then, I'm joining the CM group Moms who love the NFL! Talk about a personal transformation.
What is your family sport? Who's your team? Have you ever taken your kids to a game?

I Love the NFL also,But my team is the Bengals! And as you know they have not done so well.But,I don't think I should stop cheering for my team,Just because they are losing.I think a lot of their fans have given up on them!Hopefully,They will come around! Maybe Next Year,Go Bengals!!!!!!!
Well, my family sport is Nascar, although my friend tells me all the time it is not a sport! Our favorite driver would be Kevin Harvick! We would love to take our daughter to a race but not for a little while (she is two). All the tracks we have been to do not have a "kids" price or a get in free under a certain age deal. The tickets are very pricey so we will wait a bit.
I MUCH prefer Live sporting events. Just cannot get into them on the TV. I am single mom and my dd is 8. We get season passes to our local college football games and basketball games. We both LOVE doing this.....hopefully making great memories as well.....HUGS
We're HUGE football fans in this house. I'm a Dallas fan. Hubby's a Giant's fan. Son is a Cardinals fan (who, by the way are our home team) and Daughter goes for which ever team has the "prettiest" uniform at that game. LOL.
We would LOVE to be able to go to a live game, and tried to get tickets when the Cardinals played the Giants, but we just couldn't work hotel, food AND tickets into the budget. We're saving up for next year.
This past year, my 3 year old son has been to his first MLB game and his first NHL game! He had such a great time at both! We hope to get him to a college football game at the start of next season :) ...
I haven't taken my 2 year old to a pro game, but we go to all of my daughter's sporting events and to the high school games. He cheers everyone on, it's so cute! Baseball is his favorite sport, and mine, it's not easy keeping him off the field. The worst part of it is the first few minutes after we walk in, so many people stare (he is AA and hispanic, we are white.) I'm a very outspoken person and we sit and enjoy the game after I make my rounds giving a tune up to those in need. He's an awesome player, too. We play baseball and basketball all the time at home, weather permitting. I can't believe how good he is! He always pitches because he is better than any of us, he gets it over the strike zone everytime...he can also hit all of my crappy pitches. I think someday I'll be cheering him on in the majors. It will be awhile before we go to another game. My daughter had her first basketball game yesterday and severely hurt her ankle. The doctor said she can't get up at all, and she's out for the season. :(
We have never taken him to a football game (pro) but we have taken him to triple A baseball games and he loves them. It is a great way to spend a family day.
I am a police officer and have worked at numerous sporting events as extra security. Some professional games, some college games, and some small town games. I can't believe the amount of parents that let their LITTLE kids run around with no supervision! The parents go to the stands and completely forget about the kids they brought with them. Its disgusting. I have no problem taking some of these kids right back to their parents and telling them they need to have the child sit with them. I'm not a babysitter. We have to run kids out from underneath the bleachers, keep them from climbing on the walls where one or two ALWAYS gets hurt. So if you do take your children, plan on them sitting with you.
We take the boys to the Padre Games. We would take them to the charger games but my husband is Raider fan and well the charger-raider game get out of hand.
we watch hockey, and have been to many games with our 4 year old. our 6 month old has been to 3 games.
