re: Why do older fans bring so much shite to the games with them?

But I'd give anything to be able to have another over-loaded-bag game at Tiger Stadium with my dad.

That hit close to home. I can remember attending games with my dad when I was knee high, sitting out in the bleachers, waiting after the game for the players to walk out and sign something. We kept going to games for years and years, it was "our thing," burning hot games, freezing cold games, games with run away wins, and horrid losses. He did get to see the first year of the new stadium and the team go to Omaha before he passed. And yes, for years he brought "extra stuff" to the games (always had to have his Tab drink).
