Braves game with a toddler--any advice?

We are planning on going to a Braves game with DH's family when they are visiting from CA. We will be taking Kate. I am exhausted just thinking about it. Any advice or tips on going to a game with a very active toddler? TIA!

We took Grant this time last year...he was around 21months at the time. He did MUCH better than we expected...but I think the key is to set your expectations low! We had lots of snacks when we were in our seats...and he was happy and contained in our seats for 4-5 innings. After that we took him up to the Coke area and let him run the base and look around. There is also the Cartoon Network Kids area that will help entertain as well. Good luck and have fun.

I took Macy to a baseball game in Augusta and she alright. I was afraid that she would be fussy most the night because it was a night game and we wouldn't get home until after her bedtime. I had 3 friends with me and we passed her around to keep her entertained and to give me a break. Snacks helped too. After awhile I took her down to see the mascot that they had and the playground. I didn't get to watch the game because I was busy keeping her busy.

Good luck!

We took Ridge about two weeks ago and he did great.  The biggest thing that worked is we went with our friends who's son is the same age.  They played together and fed each other fries most of the time and then we went up to the 755 club and let them run around and play hide and seek.

 

Ridge doesn't like loud sudden noises and the guns that they fire the t-shirts out scared him so I wouldn't sit with her until a few minutes into the game.  

He also LOVES to watch videos of himself on the Flip camera so we brought that which was a life saver.

Have fun!!!
