re: Appropriate age for first Tiger Game.

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.
