SPAC family section...

Jillsee · May 2014

Earlier in the year I had inquired about concerts. I believe @phishgirl29‌ and someone else mentioned a family section at SPAC. Just looking for a bit more info

Heading with J to DMB on Saturday for his first concert outside the belly. It's an acoustic and electric set. Excited! Tia!!!

I'll be there in July seeing phish with the baby so I'm no help as of now. It was @notquiteblushing‌ who has experience there. From what I hear, it's far back enough that the kids don't even need to wear ear protection, but I plan on bringing it anyway. I'm not sure what else you can bring in but I'm sure a state trooper would love to tell you NO at the gate! Have fun!

I'm a member of Facebook group for fans with kids. Maybe DMB has a similar group?

Thank you so much! We will have ear protection for him...been practicing wearing them

I'm planning on bringing simple stuff (like snacks: mums, blueberries, sip cup) in a gallon zip lock ala airport security. An ergo and a wrap... Possibly a small blanket. Fingers crossed! I'll let you know how tight security was. We may be heading to see phish as well! Residual perk from working at a radio station years ago. Depends on how he does and a possible cousins birthday party. Fx for phish over party... Hm did I say that outloud

Thanks again!

Ear protection is fun (said no baby ever!)

I've been to SPAC pregnant to see Phish and I remember at the time thinking there was no way I could bring a baby because of the amount iof smoke, but I'm guessing (hoping) the family section is far back enough that that wouldn't be an issue. If it was further back than I was on the lawn you definitely wouldn't need ear protection as it wasn't loud at all right on the edge of the pavilion.
I would bring as much sealed water as you can because it's stupid expensive there. And while you're at it sneak in White Russians for yourselves in bottles- these babies have to be good for something with all this gear, right? They won't ever question a white substance in a baby bottle (if you have a baby!)

Good thinking @calikat80! I actually hate SPAC and want the whole venue to be redone, but I'm very grateful for the family section now. I saw it two summers ago but haven't utilized it yet. I've very excited to see how it is (smoke wise) but most parents have been respectful there (so I'm told).

Also I'd suggest a hiking backpack instead of a wrap if you have one. Depending on your baby's curiosity, G needed to be up and looking out from an early age so it's better for viewing. Also ours stands upright so you can use it as a little chair for eating and containing them on the ground too.

Great idea @calikat80‌ ! Lots of great ideas

I too was concerned about the smoke, but I'm hoping the family section is all it's cracked up to be. I've talked with a few mommas and they seem to think it'll be ok. It's just the walk through to get to it. I wish we had a hiking pack but the ergo and a high back carry will have to suffice. He's usually pretty content when worn BUT then again... He's never been to anything like this!

@phishgirl29‌ I totally agree with the redoing of SPAC. Seen so many shows there and while in the pavilion is awesome the lawn leaves something to be desired... Although I can dance it out anywhere

And omg what a cutie in his banz!

Thank you ladies so much. I'm nervous but equally excited! Worst case, we leave and walk the park. Weather is supposed to be decent!
