In my case I just don't think my 2 year old would have made it much longer so showing up super early isn't going to work for me. It would be nice if they had a separate event for people with kids, because there are a hell of a lot of middle age to older dudes that show up for autographs, and that to me is just a tad creepy.
I can't +1 that enough. I took my kids (they will be 5 in Nov) through the o-line line. My kids just wanted to meet football players, and that happened to be the shortest line. I loved seeing my kids excitement, and the linemen were great with all of the kids coming through, and it was a beautiful day. But I still felt uncomfortable to the point that I stood way back to take pictures of my kids...
Being in the stadium and having my kids run around in the end zone was awesome though!
