I know what 24Champ thinks but what about the other Dove Valley Veterans.

I will be in Denver this Upcoming Weekend. My 2 year old son loves football. I was thinking about going to Training Camp for an hour or so. He is only 2 so staying for an extended period of time won't work. Would it be worth it? or Just wait till he is bigger. BTW what time is the AM practice.

No Brainer!
Of course you should go!
Just remain in a area where you and the kid wont cause any problems.
From the pictures i saw, theres plenty of room.

ROFL!

Seriously, I won't be there so I could care less.

Make sure your kid kicks Oskie, Apa, and Kahn around for me. Thanks.

My experience is that kids have a very hard time at training camp as the setting is far more adult than say, Fan Fair. With that, if you're going to already be in the area and want to stop by and check it out - you'll enjoy it. But don't plan a whole trip around it for your kid as he may get bored and hot.

And I'll 2nd the advice about sitting near Champ as he loves kids, usually gives one a football every practice.

This year is far less crowded because everyone thinks we're going to suck. If he's two, I would only take him on a day that it is going to be cool in the morning. I would also be prepared to leave early. I would say more than half the kids that were there were complaining 45 minutes into it with "Daddy can we go yet?" and whatnot. It's football, but it's not always the fun type of football. They do the same things over and over.

Trust me I have no illusions that I will watch the whole practice. Just seeing his face light up when he sees the players will be enough. Wouldn't matter who, he just love football and the broncos.

I would say go, just make sure you put sun screen on the kiddo!
