I could have put 5 kids through college for what I've spent on sports tickets. But he loves it and he's a great kid. My kid grew up at Tiger Stadium and The Palace.

She is 14 months old. It is tough to find a sitter, and we have no family in town. We will probably rethink things once she needs her own ticket.

Yeah, thank God (for that reason) that he lives out of town, or I'd be collecting welfare! OUCH!!!! It's, "Tia, buy me this, Tia, buy me that..." for hours! I guess I COULD say no to him, but I figure, I don't see him that often, so I can spoil him. Besides, I'm his favorite aunt! :) I don’t have any rugrats of my own, but I have on occasion taken my nephew to see the Astros.

We have tix to 3 more games and I might give one of my tix to my son. Would love to go more often but damn! Too much money!!

My kids both went to their first game when they were two. To quote an overused cliche: 4 tickets- $120, Parking - $5, Hotdogs & Soda - $35, the look on your child's face when Albert Pujols hits a home run - priceless. I will give up a shopping trip or two to see that look. GO CARDS!!!! I am a huge Cards fan. My kids both went to their first game when they were two.

Husband is at the season opener today...haven't brought the kiddos to any sports events yet. I don't think they could sit still that long:) Oh no…I hate computer crashing:( That’s what pushed me into buying a Mac.

The ticket and parking are free, but it's still an expensive night what with babysitting, dinner, and of course game food and a ballpark beer. So yeah, there'll be very little whole family outings to baseball games in the future, except maybe minor league. Grizzlies games over in Columbia, IL are a lot cheaper and still just as much fun.

I'd love to take my nine year old to a Drillers game (not major league, but still pricey!) but the others would want to go. My daughter would bore of it easily. My Midget would climb all the bleachers! Blah! So....we wait.... From the Air & Space museum to the Zoo....everything is crazy expensive when you multiply it by four or five!! My oldest son loves to go paint balling, I feel like I just hand them my checkbook!! We haven’t done the big game out yet, they’re just too small.

Sad, but true. Cost is always an issue for us, especially if it’s something that’s out of town, given the way gas prices are right now.
