👨👩👧👦 Tips for Families Heading to a Friday Night Game
🧥 Layer up. Late-summer games start warm, but stadiums cool off fast after sunset — bring a blanket or extra layer just in case.
🅿️ Arrive early. Home-team parking lots fill up fast for rivalry games — plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before kickoff.
💵 Bring cash or a phone. Concession stands often take both, but a backup never hurts.
🪑 Pack camp chairs or a stadium cushion. Metal bleachers get uncomfortable fast, especially for little ones.
🎧 Prep for the noise. Bands, PA announcers and crowd noise can be a lot for younger kids — consider ear protection for littles.
🧴 Check the forecast. Sunscreen for early games, bug spray for dusk kickoffs.
