What'd you think of it, NWE? I took my son (who'll be four next week) yesterday as somewhat of a last minute idea. I wasn't expecting much, and was dreading the crowds, but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't terribly crowded, at least not what I was expecting, and my kid had a blast with the different activities. He loved dressing up and running through the "blockers" to score a touchdown.
One thing I was a little disappointed in was the autograph signing - not for myself, but for my son. He was excited about meeting football players, but the two we met (Malcolm Smith and Eric Kendricks) didn't seem too thrilled to be there and barely said a word to my son. After they signed his note pad, we went to sit down for lunch and he asked me when he was going to get to meet the football players. (I did tell him when we were in line what we were waiting for, so it's not like I didn't prepare him.) It might have been more entertaining if they were wearing their jerseys and more talkative. I don't give two s**** about getting some autographs, but seeing football players was a big part of why my son wanted to go. Not too big of a deal, but that's really the only negative comment I have about it. Other than the dang ol' protesters all over the place when we left.
All the volunteers working there were super friendly and really made it worth going. I thought it was a well-run event. I would not go anywhere near there next weekend, though, as I imagine it will be an absolute madhouse.
