anyone going to the game tonight? friday the 13th!

[Vic Sage]

I'm taking my daughter to the game. We're sitting in the upper deck, so i hope we don't get rained on.

anybody else going?

[Willets Point]

'Fraid not, but the Endy Chavez bobble head was tempting me for a trip to the city.

Question about bringing your kids to the game, actually two...

1. Under 3, no ticket required right?

2. Are diaper bags ok?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We're asking the same questions ourselves.

I'm pretty sure you can get a small folding stroller and a diaper bag in there. That's our plan this weekend.

[Guest sharpie]

I remember bringing all sorts of crap for kids into the game but that was before 9/11. I don't know if you could get away with bringing, say, a 2.5 year old in there without paying. If it looks like the kid should be in a seat, then they'll make you pay.

[DocTee]

Mets site says all bags may be searched, and none can exceed 16''X16"X8".

I think tix are required most everywhere for kids over two: I know they are on airlines, hence my travel plans were often determined around my kids b'days, so that they'd fly free (on my lap of course, but if there were open seats they always moved someone to accomodate us and give the girls their own seat)

[Gwreck]

Official Mets policy says no ticket needed if the kid can go under the turnstile. Height of turnstile is 32 inches.

Bags, food, drinks in sealed plastic bottles (no cans, no glass) are all fine. Don't think they'd hassle you about the stroller if it's small enough to fit under your seat. (The Mets have one of the most liberal polices about allowing the oustside food/drink in that I've seen).

Also of note: they are (finally) running #7 Express Trains back to Manhattan after the game.

Going tonight as well. Hope they get a good crowd with the Chavez bobblehead and all. Several Friday crowds this year have seemed smaller than I'd have expected.

We really wanted to go tonight -- I have some Mets money that we were hoping to buy tickets with, and I really wanted an Endy Bobblehead to go with the Endy auto that I picked up, but we're headed to the Ducks Sunday night instead.

If anyone winds up with an extra Endy bobblehead that they're willing to part with, please let me know.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I'll be logein' on Sunday, I feel like I haven't been to Shea in freakin' years.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

KC - "...I feel like I haven't been to Shea in freakin' years."

I know what you mean.

[Centerfield]

Much appreciated. I'll have to measure the kid tonight.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If he's too big, maybe you can find a smaller one that you can bring.

[Centerfield]

I was actually thinking of asking you to re-size him like you did with vic's avatar.

KC -- We'll be in Upper Deck, Sec. 10, Row B, Seats 1&2. No alcohol section. Who knew?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

If ya wanna sneak out for one, I'm in section 10 also (in the Loge, row
G or so) just before it becomes the Loge Cave.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Holy crap, I have tickets for the nooner tomorrow ... forgot it was the Sun
wash out from April.

I need to start taking that Ginkoba stuff.
