Idiots that get drunk at the game...idiots that don't cheer enough...idiots that cheer too much...idiots that need to find a room...idiots that cuss too much...idiots that leave trash all over the place...idiots, idiots, idiots everywhere!

Fact is that if everyone stayed home who bothered someone else the stadium would be empty. With nearly 100k at a game your better off just dealing with those around you and enjoying the game. I live thousands of miles away and can't make it to home games. I would love to be at a game even if it meant I had to sit next to a screaming child.

You need to read this billbattle. This is just as bad or worse than bringing a child to the game.

Crying babies at a football game is the responsibility of the parents for 1 to say, let me take ___ to the bathroom or to the concession stand area to calm them down. More then likely the baby was tired and wanted to sleep but the noise was keeping the baby from sleeping and made it fussy.

When my daughter was small I would always be respectful of others in public places and would remove her if she was fussy.

The worst experience I have ever had was flying back in from Chicago last year, flights had been cancelled, we sat on the tarmak for 2.5 hrs while 56 planes ahead of us took flight. The whole time on the plane was a baby that screamed the entire time including the flight. It was a horrible time but I also felt sorry for the parents, they tried everything and the flight attendants did so as well.

I think you misunderstood me. Kids will be kids from time to time. And almost all kids will become unruly. Those parents who ignore a screaming or otherwise disrupting child are the ones who need parenting skills class. Like i said, there are things you can do to calm the situation. But on the other hand, those who complain about little bundles of joy for simply being a kid, should have a tolerance class. If you see a parent trying to cope with the situation, don't be a jerk and make rude comments.

I can't tell you how many times i have seen a young mother struggling to maintain sanity while shopping with 2 or more small children who are giving her all she wants. I have asked several times if i can help and pulling small toys out from behind a child's ear using stage magic is enough to get the child to calm right down.

But i don't see how a small child sitting in a stadium with 90,000+ fans could ruin anyone's time unless it is killing your buzz. :unsure:

True, but the subject of the thread was small children at games. Certainly screaming kids at games are not the only examples of being disrespectful of others. Just some common courtesy toward others goes a long way in making the experience of attending games much more pleasurable for all. Yes, I am annoyed by stumbling drunks that spill drinks on your head, people who stand the entire game, people who sit the entire game, people who smoke in their seats behind you, people who vomit on your jacket back, etc. I don't mind well-behaved children at games at all. If your child fits that criterion, by all means bring them if you choose to do so. But many kids are not conducive to such an experience, including my three-year old grandson.

You calling people idiots that take BABIES to a game and you cant even spell babies!! They buy the freaking tickets not you!! Deal with it.. There is nothing wrong with it!

Now that I got that out, I do not think it is good for a baby to hear 100,000 people screaming.

I agree. I personally would not bring a small child into the stadium, but its a free country.

I've found using constant profanity and "accidentally" spilling drinks on them to be the best way to deal with people stupid and self centered enough to bring their worthless snot machines to a game.

I would think if you have such a hard time interacting with other people, perhaps it's you who should stay at home.

I have no problems in interactions with people. The only thing I'm saying is, when I'm trying to support our team and make noise (while standing) on 3rd downs, or big moments, I shouldnt have another "fan" tellin me to sit down. If people want to stay seated, or feel they have to, thats fine as long as they're not tellin me to sit down for them.

I had the worst experience at a UT game of my life during the O & W game this past spring when a young couple brought their little bundle of joy to that game and sat behind me. The kid was obviously not interested in the goings on on the field and constantly kicked myself and my wife in the back, even tho his parents told him to stop. Then to make matters worse the kid knocked over a drink into my wifes purse. Was this not enough......no. Latter the kid knocked the replacement drink all over my back and pants. I understand being tolerant but those preaching tolerance should take a look at themselves.

If I went to a preschool and tried to watch the game and my enthusiastic cheering disturbed the kids would I not be asked to leave. Well with the price of tickets no one should be asked to sit through having to listen to a disgruntled baby scream at the top of their lungs. Neyland is not a day care, it is a venue in which we go to watch our beloved team play. If your kids can not or do not know how to behave at a game then dont bring them. It is part of being a parent, you have to sacrifice what you want for what is best for the kid.

the only problem i have with standing the whole game is that if you are in a area that everyone else is not standing then it is rude if they are not standing and cant see(im not going to ask someone to stand if they don't want to). but i am all for standing if everyone else around me is. just manners i guess. and as far as yelling i guess I'm just talking about that Jim beam smelling breath guy i sometimes run into sitting directly behind me that is being obnoxious the whole game. I cheer for the team on D and when the make good plays but the type of guys i am referring to make it hard for people around him to enjoy the game from constant stupidity.

I somehow don't see that turning out so well; I don't believe the desired result would be pleasant.

Come up to my seats during a game and see how many people in the surrounding area have been ignorant enough to bring an infant.

I'm not disputing that; I don't think your recommended "solution" would be a wise move... at least around people I know.

I would rather have a baby who will scream as opposed to the blue haired people on the west sideline with their burial shrouds in their back pockets just in case.

I sit in the south end zone and many of the older fans seemed very annoyed that I tried to make noise when Memphis was on offense. I always keep the noise, screaming, etc. G rated. I wonder what the problem is. Do they realize they are in an SEC football stadium? I wonder if other teams have this issue with the older fans not wanting to cheer?

I had a guy at a Titans game "accidentally" spill a beer on me once. I pounded his nose with my fist and ruined his day. Damn steeler fans.

I've found over the last 14 months that having an infant or toddler is a balancing act. We've learned to grocery shop after meals so the little one is groggy from digesting. We feed him a snack before we go to a restaurant so he will be less demanding for our food; it somehow helps him focus on his own actual meal. During his "exploring how loud I can scream" phase, one of us would watch him while the other went to the grocery store.

I can't wait to take him to his first game, but we're waiting for when we believe he'll be able to handle it. No one child is just like every other one, and that will be different for every child.
