Odd question? Would you take your kids to the World Series? Safety?


Recommended Posts

Ok, we're not big sports fans, but my daughter has been eager to go to a game at Comerica Park. If the Tigers make it to the series (looking good!), games 3, 4, 5 will be held here. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

 

Kids are 8 and 11. Actually, I doubt 8 yr. old will want to go. So, 11 yr. old and me. I figure if I take her to a WS game, I'll never have to go to another game, lol.

 

I'm really only concerned about safety. Not Detroit safety, but stadium and post-game rowdiness (1984 WS in Detroit was bad!).

 

Do you go to major games? Any thoughts? Am I just being wimpy?

No. I think you should stay home and give the tickets to me!!!

 

Actually, dh and I went to game one of the world series in Detroit in 2006. We took our infant daughter with us. It was a blast! The crowd was incredible. No issues with safety at all.

 

If the Tigers get in we are going again!! This time without the kids!

I'm not a sports person but DS13 eats, sleeps and breathes baseball. If it were the Phillies and the tickets weren't outrageous, he and DH would go in a heartbeat and I wouldn't worry (much). You; however, couldn't pay me to go. Not even with a basket full of kittens and puppies. :tongue_smilie:

DH has been to many World Series games and never had any trouble whatsoever with safety. Just use good old common sense.

 

We have the kiddos wear a neon bandanna around their neck to help see them in a crowd. They can also take it off and wave it in the air if we get separated. That's only happened once, and it was easy to find them.

That is such a great idea!

 

I would totally take my kids to the World Series! Ds17 himjself (and a precious young lady!) to the Cardinals' playoff game tonight. Too bad on the rain delay. We were winning 3-1 before the delay! Can't wait for them to get the game restarted and finish on top!
