yeah, that's too much noise for an infant! could be detrimental to their tender ears.

I would just bring the 5yr old.

And let it be a game like Mc. Neese so the crowd noise won't get to her as much.

I was brought to TS for the first time when I was 6 months old. It was against Arkansas. Parents realized that it was to much of a hassel so I did not go back until I was 2.

Wow. That place is no place for a male child under 7, or a female under 10.

you are nuts to bring a 5 week old out in those elements. Still going to be hot.

Please tell me that is a joke.

I say 5 is a good starting age. That's how old I was when I went to my first one and it will be the same for my son who is 2.5 yrs old.

My first game was when I was 4 years old. Leave the noob at home. Way too much noise and heat for such a small baby!!

A five week old??? Are you kidding? If not, someone's judgement should be in question. Pediatricians recommend not taking a baby into large gatherings for the first two months of life.

i took my first born at 5 months to the va tech game in 07. too damn hot and loud for her, she slept throught the 1st half and was miserable the 2nd half.

took her back to a game a couple weeks ago to see vandy in nashville, she's now 3.5. she hated it and whined the whole time after initially saying she wanted to go.

i would say wait until theyre 10 or so.

no one under an age that is capable of following the game and able to clap and scream at the top of their lungs at the appropriate time!!!!

I was thinking the same thing, what age the child can tolerate the enviornment and what age you can bring them and both of you enjoy the game may be different.

Brought my two kids when they were 6 ad 9 to the Arkansas game that Rohan Davey had an outstanding game and won it. 6 year slept through the second half.

To answer your question, about 5 or 6. Be prepared to leave early.

Just be sure to hide your whisky in the diaper bag.
Serious post: Jake is correct and your wife still has too many hormones right now – temporarily crazy. I also think Tiger Stadium is too loud for an infant. I have a 5 week old too for the record.

It would be child abuse to take a baby to a hot stadium.
