I plan on bringing my kid to a game in November. Age: 10 months in NOV.

I'm hoping for a 11am game. I don't see us staying for a game that begins at 6pm.

Any experience out there?

You guys are extremely helpful! Thanks!

Baby = 0 - 1 year (Sometimes called "Infant" in other sources) Toddler = 1 - 3 years (Some still consider young toddlers to be 'babies') Preschooler = 3 - 5 years. Gradeschooler = 5 - 12 years

Buy tickets that are as cheap as possible (like UTSA or something) and in the shade. The cheap tickets will be handy since you'll probably end up leaving shortly after or during halftime (at least that's my past experience when folks bring small children).

We took an 11 month old to a game last year because of plans and circumstances changing last second. While it's not something I would recommend, it wasn't that bad.

He enjoyed March In, the intro with fireworks and music, and the noise. He enjoyed the band at halftime and actually napped on my lap through the entire 3rd quarter. (So if the question ever gets asked how boring the 2015 offense was, the answer is enough to put a baby to sleep.) The people around him laughed, talked, and waved to him, and being that it was Kyler Murray at QB and Western Carolina as the opponent, we were restless and ready to leave long before him.

I don't expect these memories to stay with him any more than a 1st birthday or celebrating his first Christmas or Halloween that year, so people using that reasoning seems a little silly. I'm guessing the people answering negatively either don't have a lot of experience with kids, or the ones they do have experience with were little ****s.

Long sleeves and legs, floppy hat, sunscreen too that is appropriate for babies. Appropriate, clear bag (12x12x6 inches) for supplies. Seat for child so you can set him/her down (should have good canopy cover to pull over especially if fussy with too much on like that hat.). Would recommend sound blocker ear muffs. If they're used to walking, will want to be put down and then can't see and will want to be picked up. If with friends / family realize that especially introverted-leaning babies actually will wear out around people and not want to get passed around.

Might practice during fall youth or high school games just to get a sense of the logistics.

All this assumes you're not trolling like you usually do.

I thought this thread was going to be about playing the sips, since they are so young.

This reminds me of the self-absorbed parents who use any excuse to bring infants and toddlers to Disney World. The kids get miserable after an hour or so, they certainly won't remember a d*** thing, and the drama that ensues for mommy, daddy, and all bystanders is just painful.

Keep the kid at home (or at Grandma's) until he/she is about seven and can actually comprehend something, and save yourself the embarrassment and financial loss.

This. If you must bring a kid, much less THAT young, just go watch the game at the Clayton Williams Center.

Probably more like twice. I don't know what's worse, you counting on all fingers and toes to determine my child's age, or concluding that this was the best response after working that hard. Based on your response, and your post count over three years, I'll file you in the camp of no experience with kids. Or sunlight. Or vagina.

This!! Lots of advice from Kids about kids!! Ha!

Y'all bit hard on this troll.

I think a lot of it depends on your child. I took my son to the South Carolina game last year when he was 9 months old. He did just fine. It was not too sunny and parts of the stadium were empty so we sat there to no disturb anyone around us. We had a great time. He might not remember the game but I do and I enjoyed sharing aggie football with my son right from the start. If you pick the correct game at the correct time I think you will have a great time. We also went into the game at half time. So while it is true that a child that young might not be able to stay the whole game just skip the first half so that you can enjoy the end.

I took my (then 2-year old) boys to the Carolina game last fall. It was great. They made it thru the game (slept for parts). They loved it, and still talk about it. Especially halftime and watching the smoke come out of the cannon.

Thanks guys.

Silly comment. You haven't a clue. Often times you bring a young one because the older children are at an age to enjoy it. I'm not even sure what drama you're talking about. Disney is very loud and full of children. The little ones are usually in strollers. So how about you get off their ass.

I thought all Millenials were still children.

Hold off until they are 6 or older. You'll regret every moment if you take a 10 month old. I've been there

My boy was screaming his head off and waving the 12th man towel at 4. It's different for everybody but it makes no sense to bring them before they can enjoy the game. Then pick the night games or games in November. Try to choose non conference less important games because you will have to take breaks during the game and possibly leave early if you don't want to torture them and the people around you.

People who don't have kids don't truly understand but it is an amazing thing to be able to share with your kids. Just have to be smart about it for everybody involved.

I have a severe defect that has left me with an unusual number of fingers and toes. Thanks for being sensitive. Why don't you go ahead and make fun of down syndrome while you're at it.
