Guessing the original post is aimed at myself as I took my lad to the game yesterday - the main reason I took him was that I wasn't able to get anyone to look after him for the day so if he didn't go to the game then neither did I! The fact that it means he's now got his first game out of the way (obviously a rare opportunity as there's no chance I'm taking him to ER for a few years yet) was a bonus. He did watch the odd bit of the game (the rest of the time spent munching his way through a picnic or flicking thruogh a Spiderman comic) and enjoyed watching and listening to the crowd, so I'm sure it'll make it easier in future years if he's already used to the crowd and the noise etc.

Like I say, it wasn't a completely pre-meditated decision to take him to the game as I didn't really have much chance of getting a 'pass out' without him having been away from Thursday morning to Friday night for the Maribor home leg!
