We are inclined to think that if we watch a football game or a baseball game, we have taken part in it

Yup Goldie, what a great afternoon and evening.  Felt much warmer than the last game.

My daugher (3) got to go to her first game!  A last minute thing as a friend couldn't use his pair of tickets.  My first game with the whole crew.  Turned out great.  Got on the field, and had way too much chow and candy.  IGF delivered tonight!

What a great night to seal #1 in W.  I couldn't be happier.

Haha - that 1/2 streaker (so Winnipeg to be modest and only shirtless) was right in front of us.

Nah Goldie - you don't have to be a streaker to get on the field.  They let fans on about 10 minutes after the game.  Only did it for the first time a few weeks ago to wish Sara Orlesky all the best after her last game here.

Like Big Daddy said: wait 10 mins, go on down.  There was the most fans on the field this game that I've ever seen at IGF.  I guess it's the earlier time so most kids are still there, plus the weather was pretty nice.  I've never seen such a line for B&B and the Captain.

Streaker: haha, I wish I was that buff!!  That's the first streaker we've seen at IGF, eh?  Was that MOS trying to stop him when he reached the sidelines?  MOS was like, whatta goof, get lost!

Do it.  My son started at 2, daughter 3.  She's more trouble than he was in general, but at the game she was actually better.  And now I have my son to help with the wrangling.  Key tricks: bring activities, point out what's going on, point out buzz/boomer, let them use binoculars, keep feeding them, lie about how long is left, remind them constantly that only good kids get to go on the field to run and get TDs and meet B&B.  My son is STH with me now.  I'll take the daughter to another 1 or 2 games next year.

You get a little less attention for the game, but it's not as bad as you'd think.  The younger ones work best at games that are a little less close/critical, like this EDM game.  After about 7 they really are no trouble at all.

There was a dude on the field in O'Shea's 1st or 2nd season as Coach and I seem to remember him almost tackling the guy as he came close to the sidelines.
