WWYD - pumping at a fb game?

I'm going to the UT game tomorrow and am kind of stressing about how to schedule my pumping. We're getting there to tailgate around noon and the game will be over around 6:30... Our car will be super far away from the stadium. Do I a) walk back to the car before the game starts to pump there and miss kickoff, b) suck it up and deal with engorged boobs until we leave, or c) take the pump into the game and pump in the gross bathrooms?
Help!

  • call the stadium customer service. some stadiums have nursing rooms you can pump in... i've done it before..i asked staff when i got there, and nobody knew...they said they knew they existed, but didn't know where and would get back to me, but nobody did.....i ended up finding a "volunteer break room", where the people who pass out programs, etc, sit down. i pumped in their break room office with a cover.

  • That's a great idea, thanks! I've found nothing online about it, but my husband suggested that maybe they would let me use one of the first aid stations. Ugh, it's just so awkward!

  • Depending on the stadium, in order to bring the pump/bottles into a stadium, you have to locate the "medical equipment" entrance and go in through that specific entrance, so they can screen your pump, as large purses/bags are usually prohibited unless for medical necessity.
  • I ended up calling and they told me I could use the first aid stations to pump, and that I shouldn't have trouble bringing the pump in...although now I'm concerned it's going to be a big thing...I'll look for a special entrance, thanks!
