Does anyone know if you can carry a car seat into the Bradley Center? Been taking my 4 month old to the games and using a baby carrier but wanted to know with it getting colder out if car seats could be brought in.
Jaybee just leaves his Spawn in the car. BC, strip club, #nomatta.

After checking online, the website has no mention of carseats so I called. If anyone is interested you can bring car seats in, but they have to be checked at the coat check
You could probably request handicapped areas. They are usually available and could accommodate the carrier. I'd make sure you call the Marquette ticket office vs the BC. MU would probably be more sympathetic to the cause.
Most of the times airlines consider it to be a medical device, like a wheelchair or walker, and allow you to check for free - which might considered similar by the BC/MU.
When I took my daughter (August birthday) to games as an infant, I always used the Baby Bjorn and wore a ski jacket big enough to fit over her - leaving just her head sticking out.
If you're not opposed to the daddy kangaroo look, it sure beats lugging a car seat around.
Do everyone a favor. Get a sitter.

Serious? Man, you are losing it.
There's a delightful 3-4 month old that has been to every game and is a complete angel. Smiles at everyone and has a good time. But I assume they should just pony up $50 a game and get a sitter right?

I can't believe your babysitter lets you use the internet. They'd do us a favor by restricting your screen time.

Yes they should. Or don't go at all.

Movie? Play? Golf tournament? Restaurant with tablecloths? I'm with you.
But a sporting event with literally thousands of loud people around you? What do you care?
To be honest, I don't really care what other people do. I just could never envision myself taking a child under the age of 2 to a sporting event. Not worth the hassle.
I believe a car seat has more leg room than a BC seat. Most car seats also have a drink holder.

You guys should realize that I say a lot of things I'm not really all that serious about on here.

This. I've brought my infant son to plenty of Brewers and Bucks games. Bust out the ear protectors and the kid is happy as a clam. And people who think they get to dictate what I do with my kid can shove off. Especially at a sporting event, where you should have no expectation of silence. Even then, if our kid's crying and we're doing everything we can, no one feels worse than the parents; why be that guy and pile on?
And I've said this before, but who gives a crap if he won't remember a thing? I sure as hell will! And establishing those traditions means something to the parents. Do people not celebrate holidays or birthdays when their kids are 1 or 2 because they probably won't remember? (Disclaimer, we are doing a Brewers tailgate for his 1 year, so I'm fully subscribing to the theory that these should be fun for the parents at this stage)

1 is a good age to introduce brats and beer to a toddler's diet. Well done.

Marquette introduced the "High Life Pony Kids' Club Corner" this year for alums to be.

We brought our infant to a dozen games/year .. although we'd get a sitter for the important games like Louisville, UConn, etc.
Typically, he'd be awake for the 1st half, fall asleep for the 2nd.
By the time he was 2-3, we'd get a sitter for 90% of the games. Too much hassle.

So... you're saying leave the kids home
without a babysitter or leave the babysitter home while you take the kids to the game?
What's with all the hate on children? Spend too much time in the Jacuzzi during college?
I bring children under 7 to the blowouts (or what should be...) and 8-10 for some conference game. Ya gotta be at least 16 to go to the big games doe.

I never took my kids to sporting events until they were at least four years old. It was better that way.
Gotta take em while they are under 2...usually free! The hell if im paying for a ticket for a 4 year old to care about popcorn!

If you never took them before they were four, how would you know if it was better that way?
I've taken my kids as infants, toddlers and on up. Infants are far easier than four years olds. They don't get bored and ask to leave early. Don't want to get up and walk around every 10 minutes. Don't demand trips to the gift shop. Don't ask for every food item in the building. Etc., etc.

Because I don't want to spend time with them at a sporting event when they are younger than that.

Yet a 4 year old is the ideal conversation maker to discuss the finer points of the Swing offense, Dom Capers 3-4 D or the great Lebron vs Kobe debate.

Today's 4 year olds are very advanced. They can tell you how to adequately defend the triangle offense and what you have to do to beat Dom Capers defense (show up, have pulse)
