Taking a 1 Year Old to a Baseball Game

Hi Moms! My hubby and I are taking our 1 year old son (yeah!!) to his first Tigers game this weekend for his birthday. Just wondering...should we take a stroller, get a backpack carrier(which we were going to do anyways for other future events) or just carry him? The problem is he is 26 pounds and between the two of us it can be exhausting. I am planning on doing more walking around than sitting, depending on how his day is going obviously. Any other advice besides the sunscreen, ,hat, etc. would be great as well. Thanks! H.

What's a good one - something from LL Bean? What kind of lunch boxes work best? Do I supply him with pencils and erasers? Do first graders use pens? What about markers...
