Our daughter will be almost a year old during football season. Normally we get tickets for just me and the wife, but Tiger Stadium says we have to purchase one for our daughter even though she'll be sitting on our laps the entire time. Tiger Stadium has to get their $$$.

What have some of yall done in the past/currently? I'm thinking we just buy the cheapest nosebleed seat and have her sit on our laps or in the baby carrying vest we have. We did that last year for a friend of ours who had a baby that was roughly the same age and it worked out fine. Not sure if anyone had any suggestions otherwise.

Why on earth are you bringing a baby to Tiger Stadium?

For a smaller game you should be fine but I'm not sure I'd chance it

You got it right. Football is the only sport that requires a ticket for kids under 3.

We started bringing our kid around 10 months. Buy a cheap seat ticket. Bring them with you wherever you sit.

I'd recommend ear muffs, especially if you're in lower bowl. Obviously don't bring your kid to a 2:30 game in September unless you have inside tickets.

Not a good idea for you, the baby and those sitting around you. Not sure why you would even consider it?

Left the kid with grandparents or babysitter.

Tiger Stadium is no place for a baby. Hell I think I scarred some 10 year olds in my younger and drunker days.

My son is the same age and honestly I can't imagine bringing him to a packed stadium full of loud and rowdy drunks for 3+ hours. Between him getting hungry or needing a diaper change in the middle of the game or if a big play happens people bumping into you and I can't trust everyone around me to be considerate of a baby around. Just doesn't seem worth it even if it was free to take him in let alone have to buy a ticket to bring him, I don't think I'd be able to even enjoy it having to worry about him the entire time.

That's just my opinion though

Have these for this and other events if she has to come with us somewhere.



Also, I should've been clearer on this. I'm not bringing her to EVERY game. I'd like to take her to one for the obligatory photo op that isn't an ear piercing SEC game. Family and babysitter suggestions are great for all the obvious reasons, yes. I was mostly concerned with what we would do for when she's actually AT the game.

Also, my daughter is the most chill baby on the planet. Already went on three flights (two with an ear infection) and did not cry one time. She can handle Tiger Stadium, but we're not going to put any long term testing into that this season.

Unless you’re in a suite I’d highly recommend not doing this

Babies do not be.one at college football games. Get a babysitter, without question.

There's worlds difference between a quiet flight with a private bathroom if needed and the most rowdy football venue in America

You do you but I wouldn’t do it. An infant will not remember anything, only you will remember. And it’ll be a memory of a fussy kid and leaving at half time with the negatigers.

I respect the want to go to the game, but that seems to be way more work than value bringing a baby to the game.
