Game with a Baby?

Having raised three boys I'll have to say no.Number one the weather, too hot or too cold, especially the heat.Probably age pee-wee/little league would be fine.But it really all goes back to the parent on how they raise the child even at the pee-wee age.Teach them to show respect and not be annoying little brat.Personally the baby crying issue doesn't bother me that much since we as parents have all been there.I normally am very patient with children but just wait is the best answer, for the child's sake.Neyland has drunks? I like to think most people drinking are a safe walking distance to where they are staying for the night, student or fan.

Few moments in my life have given me as pleasure as hitting an Auburn drunk in the gut during the 1999 game so hard that he threw up on his two pig fornicating friends from The Plains.

My wife and I are thinking about heading up for a game this year with our 2 month old. Have any of you ever taken a young baby inside of Neyland? How did it go? Do they need a ticket if they will be in my wife's arms? So far she doesn't seem to have a problem with noise but has not been anywhere THAT loud yet...

It's generally easier to go somewhere with a two-month-old than a two-year-old. At that age, they're generally willing to just thunk their heads down on your chest and sleep for hours in one of those carrier things. This gives you more freedom to take the child places than you'll have in another year or so. So do take advantage of it, and believe me, I understand how much you want to do normal things from your old, pre-parenthood life right now. When our son was eight weeks old, we took him to a St. Patrick's Day festival at our local pub; it was loud, but he did fine. And we were deliriously happy just to be out in public again.

However, Neyland is probably too much for an infant, and not even really because of all the drunks, etc. The reason I'd never take an infant there is because you can't get out of the situation quickly and gracefully if things go south. If the boy had been unhappy and/or annoyingly loud at that St. Patrick's festival, I could have been outside the premises in about 30 seconds, and back at our house in less than ten minutes. At Neyland, you're stuck -- it's a long way out of the stadium, it cost you a lot of money to be there, God knows where your car is. By all means take your little girl out in public with you, if she's well behaved, but the key is to go places from which you can abort easily and with no regrets. Neyland isn't either, unfortunately.

I can relate. For me it was a bammer in 2000. The look on his face was priceless and his buddies promptly apologized.

I don't know. Have you ever met anybody in the stadium that tried to convince you to walk in a drunken stupor down to the Sunsphere to watch it drop after we win a game?

Nah. I drink before almost every game. But I am serious, polite, and all business once I get in the stadium.

Man, If I was an outsider looking in at this thread I would think Neyland is full of drunks on game day. Let me be the first to say that although there will be some besides the obvious student section crowd, My experiences at Neyland have been very pleasent. If there is ever a problem, from what I have noticed, Security has handled it very well if I wasn't able to persuede the individual to tone it down.

GO VOLS! and Let's not come off as being like LSU is thought of.

As for the 2 month old, I will just refer back to my post on page 1.
