I just got tickets in section 140 for the 10th and I'm planning on bringing my daughter, she's only 7 and it'll just be me and her. Has anyone had experience bringing young kids to games? Is there anything I should prepare to bring for her while we're there? I'm flying in from SoCal, and I haven't been back home for a couple years, and haven't been to a Bears game in even longer.
My biggest worry is she'll be bored by about hour 2 and want to leave lol. My current plan includes bringing Ear Muffs so it's not super loud and keeps her ears warm, hand warmers, and a blanket(?). Considering I haven't been to Soldier Field as an adult, is it possible to bring in (or sneak in) snacks of any kind for her? And is there anything I should worry about safety-wise for her?
Also curious if there's any times or places we could be there to possibly let her see some players before/after the game. I appreciate any help!
I think most has already been answered, but have a plan for bathrooms. Would she go to the men’s room with you or women’s? If men’s, there are very limited stalls and lines can be very long. Women’s room line in December shouldn’t be too bad, but anticipatory peeing is highly recommended.
Shit didn’t even consider this.. are there perhaps family bathrooms? I’m afraid she’ll get freaked out if it’s a little chaotic and I send her off alone into the women’s
