I wouldn't bring a baby to an LSU game because it's either during the day and hot as frick or at night and late but our 4 month old will be at noon Saints games with us with her headphones on.Very obvious whose baby mommas kept them locked up for the pregnancy and early year(s) of the baby.

Maybe after the game you can take her for a stroll down Bourbon Street???

No


Edit: Tiger Stadium (or any football stadium outside of maybe a night high school game) is no place for a baby.

It can and will be one or all of these:

1. Too hot for the baby
2. Too crowded and too loud
3. Nowhere to really go if baby gets sick or fussy
4. Its a lot of effort for zero reward

Don't do it.

Don't be surprised if her first words are curse words.

People are not hating. It is just not worth it to bring a baby to Tiger Stadium. Sure maybe 30 years ago when LSU was not good and can have the whole row to yourself but that is not the case. Why spend money when knowing only going to be there for 15 mins of actual gameplay? The child won’t remember it, so who is it for? The hassle of everything is not worth it.

I took my son when he was 6 to Tiger Stadium and that is something we can both remember. LSU lost but that was not the main point of him attending. I was 7 my first time and I remember it like yesterday.

If he wants to bring her, fine. All anyone here is doing is giving logical advice. He can take the advice given or do what kids do when their parents give advice : don’t listen.

Don't do it. And if you do, get over the ear sound protection that the baby will willingly wear.

Don't do it.

I only mean to use "hater" in very general, broad, admittedly lazy terms.

I can't argue with this. It's not a very practical thing to do. Personally, for my wife and I it was our first game as a whole family and I'm sure I got caught up in the emotion of that a little bit. We have a lot of great pics from that weekend. I imagine when just my son and I go to the Grambling game this year (his first game since) it'll be a more rewarding experience.

I understand where you are coming from and it was memorable for you and your wife. Personally, I would not have been able to do that. Cheers and props to you both for having a memorable experience.

More times than not, if you stand near the entrance to the west uppers for a crappy game someone will just give you a ticket as well

For someone who has season tickets already, when LSU plays Georgia State in November and the weather is likely going to be gorgeous, assuming I had somewhere to leave my stroller during the game I wouldn't hesitate to bring mine in again when she was one but like Nix to Twillie said....not all gameday experiences are the same so the expectations can be tempered and the experience can be catered to their schedule a bit better.

There's no reason an LSU game has to be that much different than an afternoon at the Zoo.

It's your money, so you can do what you want, but all 3 of you will be miserable. So not recommended.

Wait a couple of years, then make the trek.

Don’t do that. I’ve seen poor people bring their babies on the east side… horrible mistake, it’s way too hot.

I don't understand why you'd want to do that. It wouldn't be fun for you, and certainly not for your baby.

Just not a good idea.

Who am I to judge, my son has been every year since he was 1… we drove 12 hours from Virginia to the Swamp for one of my sons first game when he was 23 months. He didn’t cry once, was mesmerized… he had a blast til he fell asleep in 3rd quarter. Woke up for 4th quarter victory.

Biggest pain is walking forever from the car to the stadium… I think we used one of those cheap foldable strollers and hid it some bushes… have plenty of snacks, pacifier if still use it, plenty of hydration because they got hot easily.

The baby isn't watching the game and doesn't want to be there. So attending the game with the baby cannot be for the baby's benefit.

Not a parent, but was a baby once. And have been attending LSU games in Tiger Stadium since I was a baby and before I can remember. And I do not remember (nor did anyone else in my family or in the seats around us reminded me of) any game I didn't enjoy as a baby. And I immensely enjoy the fact even today that I have been an LSU fan literally longer than I can remember.

It's obviously completely anecdotal, and 5 decades ago, but that is my personal experience. So it is not quite correct to say that attending the game cannot be for the baby's benefit. This baby definitely benefitted.
