Any pointers from Dads out there that have been in my shoes is much appreciated.


You said 4 years old, right? First things first...if yours is like my two, I had to plan damn near everything around bathroom trips. Plan effectively.

Secondly, you're bringing a 4 year old, so be prepared to have to deal with him and potentially not watch the game at times. Just the way it is...unless your little guy is really into actually watching the game, he's gonna' get bored during the game at some point.

Snacks...and lots of them.

All the other stuff is no sweat...the day is supposed to be great, no weather issues and because it's an early game you won't be lugging a 4 year old out sleeping.

Have fun!

Yea, I plan on probably having to leave at halftime. Do you bring snacks in a bag or just bring plenty of cash for conessions?
Thanks again for all tips.

Watching the drum unit practice under the oaks near the Greek Theater would be a nice touch. From there the band sets up and marchs down Victory Hill. Also, the Golden Girls are often there just walking around. I got some nice pics with the Golden Girls and my kids some years ago and I also enjoyed the view!

This. We took my soon to be step son (4 years old) the I-Bowl and he lasted one quarter during the game and then it was back to the motor home with papa. I'm thinking we'll wait until next season (6 yrs old) before we try a game in Baton Rouge.
