Game Day Tickets for kids - GottaHateUT - 09-05-2016 10:58 PM
Can anyone tell me if small children get in free to games. I can't find the details on any website. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old who will be coming to their first game.

2 year old is free. I believe the 4 year old will need a ticket.

I imagine it depends on the size of your 4 old. If (s)he looks small enough to sit in your lap they probably won't say anything to you.

Buy an extra cheap seat ticket
It helps our school
Skip a meal to Taco Bell and at the same time add another ticket sold to the count

Yeah, if your 4-yr old is 6' tall and has a mustache, a ticket is required.

Last year I brought my then 4-year-old and then 2-year-old, sometimes with tickets, sometimes without tickets. I asked when they needed to have tickets but never got a straight answer from security. I was out of town for the opener this year, but would be surprised at any change in policy.

Yeah, but what if he is acting like a 2-yr old??

If you have a 4 year old that is 6' tall and has a mustache (even one of those weird pubescent ones), you have bigger things to worry about than whether you need to buy him a ticket for a football game or not...

People at gates give zero F's about who has a ticket when it comes to kids. They are to busy looking at over weight guys waist lines lol.

Yes they do and some people in my row tried to use an extra seat too. I just don't think kids that young should be going to ballgames. Get a babysitter
I'm sure I'll catch hell for this post but whatever

As someone who brought a child that young, for the most part, I agree. There aren't really people around us during the football games, so our impact on people watching the game is pretty minimal. However, at the basketball games, there is no way we could have ours sit with us. It would be a nightmare (for us and the fans around us).
However, I will say that our <2 yr old had a great time at the football game, clapping along with the band, pointing at the football players, cheering for whoever was near the endzone we were at. Probably won't remember a second of it in 4 years.

I think the kids aged around 5-10 are even worse.
If there is open seating around, they will climb and run down the bleachers as loud as they can chasing each other.
Every game.

Were any of your children born on February 29?

As far as kids at games, I had 6 grandkids at the opener. Ages 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, and 14. Our kids behave at games. It's the same as taking kids to church. Train them young and expect them to behave, and they do fine.
We had 3 young couples in front of us with 3 babies under 1 year old. They did fine too.
I hope that you "crotchety old fans" won't openly discourage young parents from bringing kids to games. I'm 71 and I can tolerate it. Those kids are our future fan base.
I could tell you about the time the wife and I took a six- week-old to a Tiger double-header (football and basketball the same day). That kid is now 12.
As the Bible says, "Train a child up in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it".

I agree with you wholeheartedly. My grandfather passed away when I was five. I'm the only grandchild that has any memories of him. And one of those memories was of him taking me to Tiger basketball and football games in the late 70's.
My two kids behave well in public places like sitting still in church. They also can sing the Tiger fight song in its entirety. It is not a question of whether children should be allowed to come to games. It is more about whether the parents are doing their job to teach their children how to behave.
