re: Bringing a baby to a baseball or basketball game ?

Please don't bring a baby. It will be traumatic with all the noise.

What? The rant says the PMAC is like a library during games.

For baseball, it depends on the weather. I would also spend extra for grandstand seats for obvious reasons which shouldn’t be hard to find for a Bryant game. Make sure they’re protected by the net as a couple of the outer grandstand sections are not. I didn’t bring my oldest to a game until he was 3 but I would’ve been comfortable bringing him as an infant.

For basketball, I haven’t been to a game in a long time but I don’t see why there would be an issue sitting in some upper seats. Bring something to cover his ears in case it’s loud like it should be. If he’s like mine, you shouldn’t have trouble with the game and fans keeping him entertained.

You think a 7 month old is going to be watching the entertainment

I've brought my son (3) and daughter (1) to a few basketball games and my son to baseball games for the last 3 years. It's not a problem at all. Just remember that it does get loud in the PMAC, so bring some earmuffs.

It's so quiet in there, that he won't wake up. Great place for a baby to take a nap.

Ah. Ok The fact that YOU want it out ranks any discomfort that you put your child through. I get it. But since the feelings of your kid seem to be secondary to your wants, perhaps you might just consider the people who will be sitting near you when he cries. Babies cry. Often unexpectedly and for unexplained reasons. It's what they do. It's their job. I know, I know he's cute when he cries at home but the people who paid their money for the game(s) just might not think he's as cute as you do. It's possible you know.

You might not realize this but there will be other games in other years when he is old enough to enjoy them with you. Wait.

I love these threads.

People get so bent out of shape because a kid might cry for a few seconds before the parent moves them into the concourse. At a sporting event.

Yeah I should've known the retards and parents basement dwellers would come out in full force for this thread.

The cutoff is actually 2 and under, so you are good without a ticket as stated already. 7 months should be fine if you plan accordingly. I would HIGHLY recommend getting some ear protection from Amazon. My youngest would sleep through even the loudest games in the PMAC when he had the ear muffs on. He never cried and disturbed the people around us, and it let us take my oldest so she could really enjoy the games.

I'm planning on bringing my 2 and 4 year olds to baseball games this year. Will be their first sporting events, pretty pumped!
