Congrats. Are you bringing them for their enjoyment or for your own selfishness? I would say around 5 for their enjoyment. Pretty much anything before then is just so a parent can brag that their kid attended their first game at 2 ect or so they can show off the kid. My daughter is 19 months and I wouldn't think of taking her to a game. She wants to play and explore not watch a football game. it would be like me taking you a play that in a language you didn't speak and tell you to sit and watch it for 3 hours. In the end the kid just ends up bored and often annoying those around you. If you want to spend time with them take them to a park or something they enjoy.see thread title. new dad here, curious as to your thoughts! certainly not going to bring her to any games this season, but maybe next?
Don't know the policy at RU, but if you're considering bringing a very young child to a game, check to see if he/she will need a ticket. At PSU, for example, everyone has to have a ticket, whether they are 1 day, 1 year or 100 years old. In fact, I believe that is the B1G policy, but I've seen some mixed reports online that suggest not every school follows the rule and some do allow young children in for free or at a reduced cost.
I brought my daughter at 2. She lasted about a half and needed to walk around the stadium to keep from getting completely bored. Just make sure it's not an important game. She is now 4 and has been to a few games but a whole game is still too long.see thread title. new dad here, curious as to your thoughts! certainly not going to bring her to any games this season, but maybe next?
[roll]My son came with me starting at 9 months. We have never left early, by age 5 (last season) he looked up at me and said these corners can't cover anyone. Have fun bringing your kid to games. I am starting to get the point where we have major sports conflicts so it is getting problematic managing to the ru schedule.
the Rutgers ticket policy is 24 months and older require a ticket.
Hate to admit it, but my wife and I brought our 3 year one time and told him to sit in the stroller (they were allowed in the stadium back in 2004) and pretend he was a baby. We scoped the ticket takers out to ensure that a student took our tickets because they wouldn't know the difference between a 2 & 3 year old. Too much guilt and stress to try that move ever again.
bah. you're not the first and probably not the last person to do that and get away with it.
However, @Cheesesteak Vegas is correct about psu and their extremely strict ticket policy. I watched them turn away a RU couple with a probably 9 month old when I was at the RU game there last year. (a game I would never have brought my 9 month old to for a wide variety of reasons)
Didn't see this before: I got Corey in up until he was 5 years old - all you need to do is carry them and they usually don't question you.Hate to admit it, but my wife and I brought our 3 year one time and told him to sit in the stroller (they were allowed in the stadium back in 2004) and pretend he was a baby.
