Ticket policy for baby

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.

took my daughter at 1 years old to watch us get stomped out by louisville in orlando a few years back... she had a great time and didnt complain. she earned her opportunity to go to games in the future. also kept her mom busy while i cussed out our sideline and begged brad kaaya in the stands to come save us.

I went to the fsu game last year wearing a baby carrier with Brock in it. I didn't need a second ticket.

So I think Op should be ok.

What are you, Ten?

If you're going to raise up a hard-core, dyed-in-the-wool, lifetime Cane fan, it's NEVER too early to start them out. I see babies at games! They're family - and family is what the Canes are about.

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.

of course not, the baby was in a suite I suppose
No way. I won't sit in a suite or even club level for games. Can't really stand, yell and curse.
 
I remember my parents taking me to spring training baseball games when I was maybe 3 or 4 (There were no Marlins at the time). It was one of the most boring things in the world for me, a young kid who didn't understand or care to understand the game. I remember my dad trying to get me to watch the Yankees but I couldn't have cared less about watching baseball or any sport at that young of an age. Now, when I was a bit older, the old man and my uncle took me to my first UM game and I loved watching Steve Walsh and the Hurricanes kick ***. By then I was 8 and I actually understood the game.

I see really young kids at UM games and for the most part they're pretty well behaved but a majority of them look like they would rather be anywhere else.

I also get that dads want to get their kids into sports and cheering for the home team but I don't think bringing a two year old to the stadium is the way to do it. Just wait until they're a little older and actually care about what's going on.

My guess would be she had a great time because someone was entertaining her or gave her something to play with. Or she has a temperament where she tuned in to the excitement around her and vibed on that. At one year of age babies can discern distance but don't have the mental or visual development to discern action further than maybe 50 feet in front of them, if that.

It's a free country and you're free to take a one year old baby to a game, but you're also risking all the problems that can ruin your and others viewing pleasure in that environment. In your case you were lucky and it worked out.

I have a 3 month old baby, and I don't plan on bringing her until she is 3 or 4.

Good memory. Had to endure many son burns sitting in that outdated, antiseptic **** hole. Now I actually enjoy being there but can't stand tailgating, driving to/from the stadium. I'm a big curmudgeon.

My fondest memories growing up were at the orange bowl with my dad and brother, but I don't really remember being there until I was about 7-8 years old in the late 80s, similar to [MENTION=14036]DTP[/MENTION]'s story. We took my two y/o niece to a game and she enjoyed the band, talking to people. I don't think I'd want to bring a baby unless I had a suite.

What assessment?

The one where you assessed babies will be miserable and ruin the experience for those around them.

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.

Those people are ******** and should remove their screaming babies from those situations, doesn't mean other more considerate parents should not bring their babies to appropriate public environments

Also, it's not my job to counsel people or encourage them to take their babies out and acclimate them properly.

Who said it was your job? I was simply suggesting how you could attempt improve your own experiences. But apparently you would rather be a whiny crumudgen.

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.

There are things called noise cancelling head phones, which babies should be wearing. Also means you don't have to curb your yelling and screaming, assuming it complies with the rules of the stadium you are in.
 
i took my 3 year old daughter to every game last year (except for FSU) and i didn't buy her a ticket, don't plan on buying one for her this year either.

36 months and under is the official policy but those black girls at the gate checking your ticket with the scanner thing don't give a flying you know what.

I would say moreso better prepared rather than lucky. I was aware of the risks, etc... i put us all in a good position to come out successful...


Everyone had a good time barring the fact that we looked awful.
 
2 and under, but i use to bring my kid till he was 3. Just throw him on my shoulders and walk in.
 
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.

Arcade Fire concert that night in Coral Gables. Hope it's a nooner.
