What is a good age for a kids first game in tiger stadium?

yeah, that's too much noise for an infant! could be detrimental to their tender ears.

We have a 5 week old daughter and a 5 year old daughter.My wife wants us all to go but I told her lets wait on taking our newborn.Looking at going to mcneese,ole miss,or ulm.I say at least a year old.

I would just bring the 5yr old.

And let it be a game like Mc. Neese so the crowd noise won't get to her as much.

Wow. That place is no place for a male child under 7, or a female under 10.

My 1st game was when I was 8

thats old enough to understand whats going on and have a good time IMO


ETA: I was there for the Earthquake game but wasnt born yet

i took my first born at 5 months to the va tech game in 07. too damn hot and loud for her, she slept throught the 1st half and was miserable the 2nd half.

took her back to a game a couple weeks ago to see vandy in nashville, she's now 3.5. she hated it and whined the whole time after initially saying she wanted to go.

i would say wait until theyre 10 or so.

Took my 2y.o. girl to TS for arky game last year. She loved it. This year she's been to UNC and MSU. Still loves it she turns 3 on the 8th.

It would be child abuse to take a baby to a hot stadium.

My brother has a picture of each of his kids in Tiger Stadium when they were < 1 year old. One in 2003 and the other in 2007. Really cool pictures that they framed along with the NC schedule and ticket to the NC game. As far as I know they had no problems. But they were older than 5 weeks.

There are couple of ways to look at this, but there is no way I would take a 5 week old to the game. For one, it's loud as frick and starts at 8 PM. Clearly the kid will have no idea what's going on and you will likely not be able to stay the whole game and you will have paid for 4 tickets to do that.

Even with the 5 year old, you're basically telling them they need to sit still for 4 hours, which is not an easy task. Not to mention this game features probably the two drunkest fan bases in college football and an 8 PM start.

I took my 5 year old daughter to her first game last week. Figured if we could make it to half, we were doing good. She had a blast, enjoyed Mike the Tiger, the Band, frozen lemonade, and most of all, the piped in music. She was worn out by half, so we headed home. Ya I know, I'm a bad Tiger fan. I listened on the radio on the way home. JH not the same as I remember.
We showed up too early, making for a long day. If you take her, try to have her take a good nap in the early afternoon, and go to the game in time to watch the band come down the hill. Bring ear plugs for her just in case.
