re: Would you bring a 7 month old to the game on Saturday?

Why would you want to? I tried to think of different scenarios but none made any sense. What's your reasoning to even suggest the possibility of bringing a 7 month old to a game?

Gotta understand dads. Dads think their kids, no matter the age, will love the aura and presence that is Tiger Stadium, and that nothing could be sweeter than the whole fam dammnily sitting in Tiger Stadium together.

I too once thought this was a capital idea when my daughter was 3 years old. We had 3 tickets, but one was an "off" ticket that we purchased outside the stadium. The gate captain let us in all together anyway.

The two tickets we had together were two rows up, with the players that didn't dress out for the game. It was 1997 - the Ole Miss game the week after the Florida game.

At first, things were great. We knew a cheerleader, so she brought my daughter - in full LSU cheerleader regalia - down on the field, took pictures, etc. It was starting off as a beautifully perfect Saturday afternoon (actually late morning - Jefferson Pilot game/11:30 kick off)

Then, some very large individuals starting showing up, amongst whom we had to sit. By the end of the first quarter, my three year old is sleeping in my arms, with her head over my shoulder.

By the end of the day, I thought I was either going to die (max), or (min) require shoulder surgery.

I just now realized that, not counting games that my folks brought me to as a youngster, that's probably the only time I've ever been in Tiger Stadium when I didn't at least have a nice buzz going.

If the 4 year old has his own seat, that's doable.

Edit: in my opinion its doable. I realize you didn't ask that question of me lol.

Maybe the 7th. mo. old will stay for the whole game & not leave like a lot of u retards at the half!

Brought my 11 month old to the game. He somehow survived.

He flirted with the girls that sat behind us the whole time, the man in front of us told stories about how his son has been coming to games since that age. Great day.

My brother has framed pictures of both his boys at games at less than a year old.

Looks great next to the schedule of our most recent national championship year schedules.

Oh, pictures will be framed from this one. Him with mike at the southwest corner before the band took the field, him and my dad, him with the band in the background from our seats. Awesome!
