Son's 1st Michigan Game - Baby Bottles Allowed?

Submitted by MaizeNBlu628 on

Taking our 8 month old to the Rutgers game tonight for his 1st Michigan sporting event. Don't worry I do not expect to stay and/or watch the whole game. We just thought it would be fun to take him around the arena and the atmosphere shouldn't be too crazy. 

One question I did have for the experienced MgoParents out there, do you know if baby bottles allowed to be brought into Crisler? I looked on the site, and it says no containers of any kind are allowed inside, but my wife seems to think they must at least allow baby bottles. Any help from prior experience would be greatly appreciated!

this. it's probably against the rules, but I'd be shocked if they try to stop you. most of the ushers are pretty reasonable

Back in 2000 I got caught with beers in my cargo shorts at football and simultaneously a guy got caught with beers in his baby bag. I tell you this because it also appeared he had baby supplies in there.

we blatantly had booze flowing in our section from 2003-2007 at the big house and the worst that ever happened was being asked to calm down a few times..

Why do people do this. The baby can't comprehend what's going on. It's annoying for those seated around you to hear a child screaming all game. I would wait until they're in first grade since thats around the first time you and him will actually have a good time.

I understand this sentiment, but we know our baby's temperament. He only cries when he's hungry and actually enjoys being in a lively environment. It's been a rough winter, so the only chance he gets to be anywhere outside the house/daycare is like going to the mall. So we thought this would be a fun opportunity to get out. We have season tickets, but we have gotten a babysitter for every game we've been to.

And I'm happy to report that he did great during the game, loves his new baby M hat, and he even got a cameo on the #livefromcrisler scoreboard shoutout!

I kinda doubt they'd give you much hassle, especially if you have it pre-made.  I haven't taken my daughter to a sporting event but when we flew we had breast milk in bottles and nobody seemed to care much.

I should have taken my 17 year old to a Michigan game when he was young and would have started the indoctrination then.

Now he's 17 (we did take him to the App State opener last year along with a campus visit), but he's not sold on Michigan and is leaning toward Virginia (we live in VA).

I've obviously failed as a father.
