expect to leave in the 3rd quarter....depending on when you get there in the am.....my experience is that it makes for a long day with a 4 yo.

My son was 4 for his first game....LSU v Moo State....it was a 7pm kick and he couldn't hang past the 3rd.....

lightweight....

Bring a cardboard box and let him slide down the Indian Mounds.

You picked the wrong game for a first game. Near 100 degree temps for a 4 PM kickoff. I'd wait and do a night game late in the season

Too young, IMO four years old have little interest in football. They're try to get out of the seats the whole time and be asking for something to eat every 10 minutes during the game then comes the restroom trips. I know this might sound mean but its the way it is most of the time. Sometimes its just better to just leave them at home and wait until they start understanding the game. Sure it starts off great and everyone is having fun but once its time to take your seats thats when it all changes.

If you watch the band line up and start their trip to the PMAC/Stadium, you've got an excellent shot at getting a high five with Mike the Tiger (mascot, of course). I'm thinking that for a 4:00 game they'll start lining up in the street by the Greek theatre somewhere around 1:30/1:45.
