I first went as a fetus. My son went at age one and loved every minute of it. He is now 28 and still loves every moment in Tiger Stadium and fondly talks of Twilly's interception at the end of the game against Auburn. :-) Bring Back the Magic!

I have four daughters (16, 14, 12, & 5)
My oldest has always been very trustworthy and responsible, not he type to run off or try to get away from you in the store, etc. So she went to her first LSU game at age 6. She did great and thoroughly enjoyed it. She's been to several since then.
Kid number 2 has some special needs / disability, and I haven't taken her yet as the sensory overload might be a bit much. She is a HUGE Tiger fan, though, and watches on TV with me anytime anything LSU is on. She's gotten to go to campus and see Mike the Tiger and the stadium up close, and she loved that, so maybe she'll get in a gameday this fall or pretty soon at least.
Kid no 3 got her first live game against Miami in JerryWorld a couple years ago (Burrow's first game). She was 9 (maybe 10?) at the time, and she did great. Fantastic memories of that game with two of my daughters cheering like heck for LSU. Kid #4 will probably go to her first one at the same time as kid #2. They work well together.
If you're a dad taking daughters, have a plan for the bathrooms. Don't just send them off and hope for the best. This is the best advice I can give.

I got free tickets the Florida game last year and took my 1.5 year old daughter and my 4.5 year old son.
My son found the pageantry really cool for a while but grew bored once the game started and played on my phone until we left at halftime.
I honestly thought we were just bringing my daughter along for the ride. In my mind this was gonna be the day I exposed my son to his first LSU game day but she stole the show. She LOVED it all. When the band and cheerleaders finished marching down the hill she was devastated and desperately wanted them to go back to the top and start again. Once in the stadium, she sat on my knee and either waved to people in the crowd or cheered when people cheered.
With all that said, my advice is:
1) don't take the kids to an SEC game unless we are having a bad season and its an 11 am kickoff.
2) know going in that the experience is for your kids so you may miss much of the game.
3) Depending on the age, be prepared to leave early.

sometimes it depends on the seats. Witnessed a man trying to get his young son (5-7 years old) to go to their seats west upper. That lil boy was just bawling. No way was he going out there.

I just brought mine to an OOC game last year, she's 5. I don't think I would bring her to an SEC game yet though.

my first game was at 6. I was dropped off for a game on my own at 10.

I like that - focusing on core ....
