Hope I don't sit near you.

Respectfully submitted, why would you take a baby to a football game? Your baby will never recollect the event and you probably will end up having to leave early. Plus, if your child becomes upset the people around you will be quite ticked. Personally, I'm against taking any child under five or six to a football game and, only then, if they are mindful children. Just my .02.

If you go against this advice I strongly recommend an aisle seat. You are going to be up and down more than a normal fan.

11 mos old at a football game = bad idea. You and everyone around you will not have an enjoyable experience.

Just no corner; nobody puts Baby in the corner...

I don't understand how this even enters into a person's mind.

Go Gamecocks!

probably their first kid and they are excited to take the kid to see gamecocks stuff.

still not a good idea though. besides an 11 month old sitting next to me on a long plane ride, football game would probably come in 2nd.

Lot's of cry babies attend the games. Yours will just be the only one with an excuse.

I am taking my 4 year old boy and 6 year old girl to their first football games this year. I had already taken my boy to a basketball and baseball game to see how he would react in a stadium atmosphere first. If your kid can't sit still at home, they will never make it through even half of a game. We will only take them to day games when it is cooler and if they even begin to whine, my wife will take them back to the car.

Kids need to be exposed to the Gamecocks at an early age, but you need to know your child and their limitations. Otherwise you are just creating a miserable experience for you, your child and everyone around you.

She will need a ticket, but as a parent of a 2.5 yr old I strongly urge you not just yet. Wait till baseball season. She won't need a ticket and it's a lot easier on the kid/parents/ surrounding fans IMO. My little one has been to a couple practices, and a scrimmage. It was evident to me she's not ready yet (I knew this way before but it confirmed). Baseball games however work great, and she's been to quite a few the last few seasons. In fact her first games were in 2010,,, Good on you for starting her out early, but unless you're in a box or don't mind leaving 10 min I wouldn't recommend it for a multitude of reasons. I think mine will make her first OOC at 5 or 6 and maybe a light SEC opp the following year unless she really shows interest. 3.5 hours in a confined noisy environment could make the nicest, sweetest child very unpleasant. Not sure why all the down votes. I mean what most would consider a less than great idea doesn't deserve a down vote IMO. I gave you an up vote for asking about the ticket, and now you have some extra opinions fwiw.

Please don't.

She'll need a ticket and you both will be required to sit with BCMC05 and his dog in the no booing section
