A family of five sat behind us last week. The non-infant kids got bored pretty early and kept on asking when they could go. The dad pointed out the game clock and told them that they only had however minutes left. I suspect his wife was happy that the last Texans touchdown was flagged away and then fumbled away, because it could have easily otherwise gone into overtime.

I couldn't want to take kids to a pro-football game mainly because it's pricey, and they don't get much out of it. The seventy bucks plus concessions is better spent on a babysitter.
Princess never cared about footbal until she was in HS and friends with a quarterback. She was perfectly happy with HS games and is now a bigger fan of college ball than pro.

Monster likes the HS games, too. He asked about a pro game one time and I told him how much it would cost and asked if he wanted to spend the money on that or something else. We wound up going out for sushi after a trip to the zoo.
