I'd love to use this for my kid's football/baseball games but am worried about it being obnoxious&amp;taking up too much room.Anyone use this for games?

The XL Umbrella is large and does take up some room. You may want to go with the regular size one if that is a concern for you. The XL is 9 feet in diameter as compared to 7 feet for the regular one.

I think it would be great for kid's games. Good product, a little touchy to open. Probably be full of kids having a ball.

We bought it for outdoor soccer games when we go see grandkid's play. We had seem them there and asked someone where they got it. I agree, it is larger than some, but my hubby is 6'3" tall, and we both need some room. This way, the two grand kids can run up under it while downing their waterand fruit to rest in shade. :) I think the smaller one would hold two chairs under it, and may be better if you're concerned about it. You can always try the larger and return it, too. We wanted more room and our soccer fields have plenty of people with various types of shade from Easy Ups to umbrellas, etc., so we weren't concerned about it.Good luck! And an FYI, the red is easiest for people to spot you! We bought it for outdoor soccer games when we go see grandkid's play. We had seem them there and asked someone where they got it.

I use it in a recliner for card games and it is fine for me. I am not sure how much room you need for your game system but the dimensions are true and given in the product description.

I've used it outdoors at little league baseball games several times. I got a lot of good comments for other parents. It must be loud "enough".

I use it for my little leaguer who is 12 now. It works great if you are behind the plate or behind the pitcher(hard to get this seat except in bullpen).

Yes! Also my kids are really hard on stuff and this has held up very well! Dozens of games played on this in the back yard,And still no problems! Plus small enough to store away and carry out on a whim! They are great!

The kids use it while they play titanfall but I'm hearing conflicting answers on how well it works with the game. I hear only some of the features and some are funky.

It would be great for a 4 year old boy who likes football. We did send this product back because we were worried our two teenage boys would break it. The manufacturer of this product is very concerned about quality, however, and assured me that it would have stood up to our big guys. Hope this was helpful. Enjoy

Honestly I'd have to say the sound is kind of annoying if you hear it over & over but it only makes a noise when they find something. The volume isn't adjustable & I don't think there is a spot to plug headphones in. We have 2 & people are more interested in what our boys find than how annoying the noise is lol hope this helps :)

Hello, I use the mic to video football games on the sidelines. I always had the mic on but tried with it in normal position and extended range. I can pick up a lot more action (voices of players and coaches) in the extended mode. It does make a difference. I never turned it off before.

hey, has anyone found a perfectly fitting case for this? I got it for my kid to play apps on and will be needing a case to protect it. I will take measurements when it arrives and search it that way, but if anybody knows of one and can link it, I'd really appreciate it!

The I-Screen has less give than the soft toss, however, in my opinion I would not recommend as a pitching screen for youth players older than 12U. It does flex about 6 inches on a solid line drive which.

My sister and I set it up and break it down all the time. It is wonderful....BUT unless you are on the very top bleacher, you will be blocking the view of everyone behind/around you. Also, you might find it heavy and awkward to lug around?

I had bad luck with this player but only because it was not loud enough for a gymnasium. Kept it to be used at home and my husband uses it with his Iphone music. My first check would be to see if it has more trouble with burned CD's than others- if you can't send back, try putting something like a heavy book on top to see if that would work at all. Sounds like a lemon :(

We haven't had any problem at all and are using it pretty frequently in a baseball concession stand. It does a great job!

That is exactly the game I use it for and it's worked well. Just don't jam it around and you should be fine
