Kids at PBA

[dt14smoke]

I'm trying to plan our first trip to the PBA for a game and was wondering if anyone had taken kids there and had tips etc.

 

We will be taking our daughter who will be 3 Monday, and our son who is basically 1.5 yrs, to a game before #3 arrives in January, and no we aren't catholic. 

 

Just looking to see if anyone has had experience good or bad taking kids to games. 

 

thanks

You probably won't have to deal with the Pinny being too full so that will give you a little room to operate.

If you don't already have a tickets, you can get your 1.5 year old in for a $5 lap ticket.

 

I'd say the biggest thing is whether or not you'll have to leave early because your kids are melting down.  I'm not talking smack when people with a couple of kids or who are 80+ old are taking off with 4 minutes to go.

You also have to account for college basketball games taking about 2.5 hours now with all the fouls...With 2 little kids, don't plan on seeing the end of the game unless you feel comfortable getting home around 10:00 after a 7:00 game.

We had a child (2) at the exhibition game...he had a ball.  He literally watched the whole game.

Key to keeping kids happy at games.

 

Spread the food out....If you are going to get them cotton candy, Hot dog, soda, etc...Don't buy it all at once.

 

Yours might be a bit young for it too work...but when I took my daughter to a game, I would tell her that we would get X after the clock said 10 minutes left, or at a baseball game, we would get peanuts in the fifth inning, etc.

 

I took my daughter to her first football game at 5 years old and she lasted the entire game, the 7-6 win against Pitt...by spreading out the food, we made the whole game.

 

My wife took my daughter to a CWS game and she didn't spread out the food and they lasted about 3 innings........later the same year, I took my daughter to a MLB game in KC, spread out the food and we lasted the whole game and it went 11 innings...

I don't recall the problem this one woman had but she got on Facebook the day after the red/white basketball scrimmage at PBA and posted the same complaint on about 5 or 6 different other peoples postings on PBA.

Thanks for all the tips everyone!

 

We are coming this sunday!

 

How does one go about purchasing a lap ticket?

 

Also anyone have a single ticket for sundays game? Or ever a pair?

 

Thanks! I love this forum, keep telling myself to post more.

The ticket office is just to the left (West) part of the PBA.

Also, if anyone ever has an extra ticket send it my way so I can save $5
