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’ve done games in December with a four year old. He was not bored at all (although he cried when we lost, everyone felt bad for him walking out, so that was great).
We did club access and under an awning to pop in if he needed a breather. But he never did.
Kids will surprise you if they love the Bears. But if you do have access to an indoor quiet place, that’s good insurance.
The cold wasn’t an issue. Bundled up as we normally would.
