Wow, wow, wow, wow! ODU has totally upped their game. Last night was the first game of the 2019 home season, and it was a totally different experience. A $71 million dollar renovation will do that. In previous years, I've always had a baby on my lap. It was uncomfortable sitting in bleachers with zero leg room. But now there are backs on the seats and more space, which makes a world of difference. They also redid the bathrooms and added family changing rooms. Be aware - new this year is their clear bag policy which makes you unable to bring in a diaper bag. You CAN carry in a bottle of water as long as it is unopened. Bring one, because water, soda, and popcorn are all $5.00 each. Strollers are still allowed, but they need to be checked.
My aunt bought us cheap ones at Walmart so we had them ahead of time and stuffed our stuff into them, but imagine not knowing and trying to carry diapers, wipes, bottles, pacis, the works. (At previous events where we needed a clear bag and didn't have one we just used a ziplock, which works too!) Also be forewarned, there are no bathrooms on the second level. I had Ronnie in the wrap and was holding RT's hand. He had to potty and I told him we would go when we got upstairs... walked up, and the signs all pointed down. Great. No worries, now we know. Big Blue's Kids Club is back this year also.
