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

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.

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 have only used it at the beach. Takes up the space of about three chairs. Not too bad. Maybe the smaller one would be better?

Its perfect for a beach . But for a game it might be to ackwardly big . Unless you buy the smaller one you can fit 2 to 3 people . The big one fits 3 and over. The smaller one is as big as a regular beach umbrella you see on a beach . Hope this helps you out . Goodluck .

It's not as loud as you'd think. But to use it indoors might be a bit much. Depending on where you would place it as well as the amount of kids playing it could drown out any annoyance

Yes, you'd have no problem with it at all as long as the drive doesn't get filled up. If you play a lot of games that download large amounts of data or you mostly purchase download only games then no. The ONLY limitation for it is the drive space. Hope that helps! We've had it for quite some time and haven't come close to filling the drive, however, we use mostly disk games and not downloads.

It is plenty loud but I don't believe it will charge your player/phone. As a speaker it kills the competition.

Tara, I have this bag and here is what I found. I only have one player but I used my Kindle with attached keyboard as a second device to see about fit. The Kindle with keyboard is still slightly thinner than the 9 inch wide screen. I believe you could get both of your players in the pouch compartment but I see two issues that I would not find agreeable. One, there is only one slot with a restraining strap to secure the player and prevent it from falling out if the bag is opened carelessly i.e. a child or and adult in a hurry. The other pouch is a net pouch with no top closure. Second the added bulk of the 2nd player in the compartment prevents you from placing car and ac chargers in the side zipper pouch provided. This has proved to be an excellent purchase for me used as designed and while I can recommend it used as designed I would be hesitant to add a second device.

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).

I tried regular baseball in the machine and it struggled. If they are close in weight it may struggle. Hope this helps

When I did use it, I kept it in the bed with me...so yes. It isn't too bulky or obtrusive. I think it would be fine for that purpose...my son just didn't like being in it. Period. He just wanted to be right next to me. But I believe that the product itself is of good quality and functional/multi-purpose design.

It would work best if it was staked down. It works ok for baseball if it's not staked down, but I don't think it would work if you were kicking a soccer ball at it. I would also note that storage could be a concern. It's fairly large, the top folds down, but the bottom portion doesn't fold. Takes up a lot of space in a garage.

We use this during our live broadcast of High School Football games and I get really excited and sometimes LOUD!!!!! It does a great job of keeping my level from exploding! We have two of these. It took me a while to dial in the settings that I needed but after messing with it for about an hour I had it dialed in.

This little thing is pretty noisey. If you can isolate it you'll be fine, otherwise you'll want a larger one that works less. Good luck

It is pretty noisy, although it works FAST - I think you can watch tv without the volume all the way up. the bigger problem is how HUGE the unit is!! there is no good area to put it in.

I bought this for my son and he has not complained about it. Hope that helps.

Its pretty quite if you adjust the fan curve currently, If you keep the default fan curve its fairly loud, but it depends on how demanding the game is.

Nah, it's pretty sturdy. I have my 23 inch tv on it, 2 Xbox's, a cable box, a pair of turtle beaches on it, about 15 games, 6 controllers, and charging docks on it. And it's still pretty sturdy for me. Definitely worth buying to safe space also.

Dear Jsbjt: I use it to play voleyball and if it hold the foot at a 90 degree angle, I think it'll be difficult to do the normal movements during the game. For sports you can be sure it's works great. Best regards. Marco

I've had this out on tour. Haven't had any issues with overheating. However all the venues I've been in are pretty well temperature controlled. Not sure if it would do well outdoors, but the console is pretty easily removed from the case if needed. You will have a hard time finding a quality case at this price, especially if you use digital snake like I do and don't need the doghouse.
