Old enough to understand football and follow the game. Wouldn’t even think of bringing a child that young to Tiger Stadium. Ridiculously selfish.

Some of yall are legit retarded. Using this metric, a majority of posters here shouldn't go to games as they have little understanding of what they are watching.

3 months old for my son. Took my daughter to Lambeau in 2016 at three months, but she stayed at the hotel for the game due to it being during the day.

It was very memorable. You explained your outlook on the situation which basically says you don't care if things go South and you have to bail, your day will not be ruined because of the bonding moment you had. That speaks volumes.

Do it. You already accepted that you wont be at the game long and will bail if the baby is miserable.

Just make sure you find where the family restrooms are, and plan with all the toiletries/formula needed. There are a couple in the South club, but I don't know if it is in the lower bowl.

3 months (last szn) born in June went to home opener

admission is not free for them (I hear pretty soon they'll require tix for babies in the womb)
bring a kangaroo pouch carrier
cover his ears with muffs

that being said we were in the club, if it was in the stands we would not have brought her that young.

Completely agree my friend. Some of my best childhood memories will always be sitting in the west upper deck with my dad, still remember him picking me up after Flynn to Byrd in 07

I wouldn’t want to take a kid to TS until they are potty trained. Not only do you get to avoid changing a diaper on a piss trough, but I’m sure your son would actually remember the game once older

My son will be 6 months soon. I want to bring him to his first game this year, just to say we did.


Why? He won’t remember it.

Why do anything with young children? They won't remember it.
I will never understand why people here get so bent out of shape by parents molding the next generation of Tiger fans. Bringing a one year old is selfish, but getting drunk and screaming all game isn't?

You're going to a football game with 100k people. The event isn't about your individual satisfaction.

If you are breathing you have to have a ticket to TS.

6 months old is a waste of time and energy, but people on here live to pile on.

We took my 2 and 4 year old to 4 games last year and they love that shite. Buy the big arse popcorn and let them have snacks they normally wouldn’t. It was a fun experience

Only game we left at halftime was TN

My kid's about to be 8 months. I don't plan on taking him to a football game anytime soon.

My plan is I'll probably take him to a basketball game first whenever he can walk well on his own and talk ok so probably around 3 or so. It's indoors so he'll be protected from the elements and bathrooms are easier to access and generally cleaner in the PMAC and the games don't last as long. Then depending on how that goes I'll take him to a baseball game, then finally football around 4 or 5 or so when he knows what's going on and will actually remember the experience.

I just don't think it's worth bringing an infant to Tiger Stadium. You have to worry about your kid being hungry, needing diaper changes, and you also have to worry about those around you jumping into you and throwing food and drinks, and at the end of the day he's not going to remember any of it any way.

You'd be doing all of it just for a photo shoot. Might as well just bring your kid to Mike's habitat and get some photos holding him in front of that and the stadium, and then drop him off at a sitter or a family member so you can actually go enjoy the game.

My boys were probably 4&5 but we had seats 2 rows up behind the team. They could run around by the fence so they weren't cooped up in a seat the whole time. Usually left early if it was a blowout.
