re: Experiences with bringing a baby to Tiger Stadium

I feel like a lot of people in this thread underestimate the ability of babies -- even under 1 year old -- to assimilate and acclimate. Bringing a baby to a football game can absolutely impart familiarity and emotional attachment to the experience later in life (and by later, I mean when they are toddlers and already excited about going the LSU game, even if they don't understand why they are excited).

I am not discounting any of the comments about the downsides -- heat, exhaustion, crowds, etc. But the constant refrain that there is no upside is simply not correct. The babies absolutely can benefit from the experience, and the family can as well. I don't know when family bonding ceased to be perceived as a positive, but I think it still should be. And an LSU game absolutely can be a family bonding experience, even for a baby.

Every parent should make the choice they think best for their family. But anyone projecting their own judgmental attitudes by dismissing any potential benefit are being overly judgmental, imo.
