I managed to get 2 sets of tickets for myself and my wife. The first set were for the basketball and the second for a day in the stadium watching the Athletics.
When we realised that Jake was going to be born and he would only be 6 weeks old then we thought we'd have to stay at home and not see any of the Games. However as we had been going out a lot and he was a good baby, we thought we'd give it a go.
The first fun was the train, realising that I now need to look for all the lifts everywhere which was not something that I was used to. And the amount of prams often meant I had to let the wife use the lift and walk up the stairs.
For anyone who went to the games they know that the Games Helpers were amazing and very helpful.
The day we went was in the first week and therefore the stadium itself wasn't open which actually was useful as there were 80,000 less people there in the park.
Plenty of changing facilities and there were enough seats that my wife could feed Jake so it was great.
For the actual Basketball games my wife wore the baby carrier as this was a lot easier than trying to hold him all the time. Although for the second match there were spare seats that we could use, save walking up 50 steep stairs.
Atmosphere was great, and I think Jake loved it too !
