Does anyone know if a ticket is required for hard rock for kids under a certain age?

if you bring a toddler to a game, better bring some noise cancelling earmuffs....even if its not one of the super loud ones.
 
Why would anyone bring a kid under 2 to a game?

They have no idea what's going on, they'll be miserable, and likely ruin the experience for anyone sitting near them.

Nothing wrong with bringing a baby, or any other kid to a game. If you pay your money for your ticket do whatever the **** you want. If the kid cries, I'm sure he's smart enough to take it to the concourse until it calms down. Hopefully the place will be so loud they won't even notice the baby. People are too uptight. Dumb thing to get ****y over.
 
Any infant-welcome tailgates in the blue lot? And can anyone recommend a good baby friendly bar for after the game?
 
Family in front of our group brought a 3-4 month old to a handful of games last season. He had to be 6 months by the time season ended. Boss kid. Didn't flinch almost the entire season and mostly slept.

The few things that stimulate infants are color, sound and movement - so your assessment is way off.

My kid is 8 months old, as soon as it was safe to take him in public we starting taking him to museums, movies, basketball games, concerts, etc.. If he fuses, we remove him from other people, but he rarely does. All great stimulation for what has now become a ridiculously happy and well tempered baby. He just made a roundtrip flight to Hawaii at 6 months (9 hours each way) with barely a peep except when he was hungry. At basketball games when the crowd cheers, he gets really excited - only a problem when we take him to away games and he cheers when the home/opposing crowd cheers.

The babies you are thinking of are the ones that never get taken out in public, like our friends babies who can't leave the house after 7pm because that's bedtime.

If you hate babies crying in public, you should encourage people to take their babies out and acclimate them properly. With the obvious exceptions for places that are TOO loud, crowded, hot, etc.. The parents can always leave.

All that being said, some football games (sold out Miami games included) are environments that would give me pause to take him. He'll probably go to his first Miami game at UNC or Duke this year (tame environments), but I'm not taking him to Blacksburg, a game against FSU, etc. because of the amount of drunk idiots running around.

What assessment?

I'm not a child care specialist, I can only speak from personal experience.

And I can tell you from experience that I've seen infants and toddlers in loud public environments not do well, become crying screaming distractions and annoyances to those around them. Of course, there are always babies who sleep through anything, but those aren't the ones you remember.

Many parents these days walk around with a sense of entitlement that others must also tolerate their children in environments in which they disrupt others. For example, screaming out of control toddlers and infants at restaurants, movie theaters, etc. Ruining others evenings because the parents only give a fūck about themselves and have zero consideration for others. What used to be called manners and polite behavior in the old days.

Also, it's not my job to counsel people or encourage them to take their babies out and acclimate them properly. They need to figure that out on their own, and not bother other people who are just out trying to have a good time without having screaming children in their ears.

As far as the loud stadium environment, what do you think happens in the stadium with drunk loud fans. Unless it's one of those games where there are only 35,000 people in the stands, a baby could even suffer possible hearing damage especially with the new stadium configuration, I'm not an expert on that, and while yes some babies may sleep through the whole thing, I can't imagine that that's a great environment to take a baby. And I sure as fūck wouldn't like to be sitting next to one, having to be careful about yelling and screaming.

All this. Taking babies to a resturant, library or museum is ENTIRELY different than taking him to a public event like a football game. The noise, and overstimulation simply isn't good for the baby.
 
The policy is 2 and under but it's not like they can Id the little ones. So you could probably get them in even if they are 3 maybe even 4.
 
Went to a dolphins game a few years back vs the bengals on Thursday night and it was Halloween as well. When I got to my seat I noticed the guy I front of me had his at most six month old son with him. At the time my son was about the same age and I couldn't help but feel that this guy was an idiot as the all the fireworks went off along with all the crazies out on Halloween. Texted my wife a photo of the guy and she was shocked. I wouldn't tell anyone how to be a parent but I don't think football games are a place for infants. FYI I am taking my now 3 year old son to his first canes game this year vs Toledo.
