Question re: peanuts/peanut allergies and Tiger Stadium
Posted on 7/29/19 at 11:51 am

So my daughter is 6 and I want to take her to her first LSU football game (probably the GS opener). That said, she is allergic to peanuts and has to carry around an E Pen.
So I wanted to get the board's take on any possible personal experiences similar and how to maybe guard against possible contact so my daughter can enjoy her first game in Tiger Stadium!
Thank you in advance!

I wouldn’t trust Aramark not to frick anything up food related, so I wouldn’t get anything from the concession stand if I were you.

My advice would be to drink bottled water and bring hand wipes just in case. Let her eat a safe meal before so that she doesn't get hungry.

I have 8-year-old twins with peanut/tree nut allergies. We've never had a problem at Tiger Stadium. One year, I took them to an Astros game. Some peanut dust from the joker next to us flew in the air. It got in their eyes. They got red and puffy. A little benadryl, and they were fine. It's always scary, though. My wife gets super nervous when I bring them--especially to Alex Box.

You have to actually eat the peanut for the allergy to occur.

My 13yr old son has a severe peanut allergy and have been going to games since we was 2. Like other posters and said feed before you go bring hand sanitizer ask question at confessions, let people around you know and I in our case have an epi pen

Brought my twins to the Box. No problems. Had wipes Benadryl and e pins. Dr said Benadryl should do the trick for non oral contact.

I've taken my son to a few LSU games. The only problem we ever had was when he ate a slice of pizza and he had an allergic reaction. Not from the pizza per say, the individual handling the pizza was also handling peanuts. I specifically asked is she had touch peanuts and she said no. Benadryl was on hand as well as epipen but it was still scary.

Woodward used to sell peanuts in Tiger Stadium when he was a kid, you know.

My son has a peanut allergy. There are new techniques, similar to allergy shots, which can help reduce or even cure the allergy.

I have an 9yr old son. We have been to many games without incidence. He is highly allergic to peanuts/tree nuts.
Peanuts at the concession are bagged, so less chance of cross contamination to other food items.
If our seat neighbors are eating peanuts, I just move him to the other side, or between me and my wife. As always, we bring an Epipen and benedryl.
Good luck!

Don't go if there is any significamt wind in the forecast. My wife is allergic as well. We went to a game one time with about a 20-30 mph wind, and the paper-like portion of shells were flying everywhere. We had to leave in the 1st quarter or risk a trip to the ER.
I was royally POed. I was a smoker back then and couldn't go enjoy a cig in a smokers section because a whiff of smoke is so utterly offensive to certain people, yet only harmful in theory after decades of second hand exposure. Yet those same people's peanuts were posing an immediate life risk to my wife, but that was perfectly fine.

Food's probably cross-contaminated to hell. I wouldn't let her eat anything. Not worth the risk.
