This is exactly what I was going for when the "Down Since" onesies came out a couple years ago. I hit a ton of games as a kid (down since 1980), but have only one photo that I know of at a game. Times were obviously quite different in the early 80's, and I'm not even sure my parents owned a decent camera. Once the disposables became popular, we were more into those for capturing moments on vacations and whatnot, but I guess never at a game.
Baby Jack here did it big. Taking in his first game from a suite at Nationals Park on April 28th. The Mets won 7-5, and mommy @KareyNobles posted this cute photo of the fam.
We did the same when it was time for our daughter's first trip to Citi Field. Bringing a newborn to a game is no easy task, and when the opportunity arose to watch a game from a suite, we were in. Let's be honest, when you bring a baby to a game, you can't really watch the whole game, and from a suite it's just way easier. Diapers, feeding, naps, stroller walks around the field level..... maybbbeee you see a collective 2 innings. At least you got that photo though!
We'll be spending Opening Weekend in Houston! Hopefully you'll be one of the 1,300 Mets fans kicking the season off with us in Texas! The Astros didn't have enough availability to fit us for Opening Day, so we locked up 1,300 tickets to game 2 of the season on March 29th.
