klumzyfule66 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Bringing my family to the Bills game tomorrow. I've been to several games, but will have my fiancee and two 4 year old twins with me, that LOVE Billy Buffalo. My understanding is that while there is technically no Kids Day game, they will have kids activities that they normally have at those games, at the game tomorrow. I haven't found any itinerary or activity list at bb.com or from a real quick (admittedly) search on here. Do any locals (I'm coming from Charlotte) have any insight? Thanks in advance!

I also read that there will be kids activities at both preseason games. But no specific list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasNootz Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) We loved kids day in the past... my oldest daughter has gone since she was 3. This year we're going to next week's Thursday night game with my 1 year old... I don't anticipate making it beyond halftime, but a callused heart must start somewhere/sometime. I'd never take them to a regular season game, so I'm hoping that the preseason game will be a little more family friendly and certainly less crowded.

YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think they didn't designate one as official "Kids Day" because they both start at 7. I don't think the team has control over start times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Kinda silly no Kids Day this year. I agree, especially with how much McDermott likes to talk about the team as a "family" and the family atmosphere, and then how important Boldin's family was in his decision to come here. I've got two little ones who are between 5-10 years away from us being comfortable bringing them to a regular season game. It was kinda nice having an afternoon game in the summer with all the inflatables, cheaper concessions for the kids stuff, the hardcore boozebags kinda knew to either tone it down or not show up at all.

So they made them both kids days, unofficially, with the same activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Why do I feel this was directed at me? It was actually aimed at my kids' dad. Yes, that's me. I'm like 85% certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 What's the off-site parking lot situation on the Field House side of the stadium? I usually park scoreboard side, but we're not really tailgating tomor, so just park and to the field house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klumzyfule66 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 parking is empty everywhere About kids day - I was told "they are getting away from the kids day, and instead doing a family day later in the year" the field house was closed they didn't have any activities. There were a handful of other families just as disappointed as us. Great idea, OBD, bring your 5 year old kids to a regular season game, with tens of thousands of belligerent drunkards, in 20 degree weather. Why didn't they think of this before? 😐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame they're killing the Kids Day tradition. Pegulaville! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
