how young is too young to take your kid to a panthers game?

My daughter turned two in May, and I know she's still to young for the game experience, but I've also seen some little-ass kids hanging out at the endzone seats collecting touchdown footballs from Cam. I have always thought five or six is a decent benchmark, as much for the other fans in the stadium as for the kid (no one wants to be stifled by sitting next to a toddler (same reason I refuse to bring my kid into a bar to eat.)

I'm curious what the thoughts are on this.

If you know who you're sitting next to or near and if they aren't drunken retards I'd say 3 or 4 would probably be fine, but be prepared for anything that could possibly happen to cause you to miss part of or all of the game.

I've got a 4 year old who wants to go, but I can't imagine taking either of my boys until they're 10.  I will take them to preseason but not regular season.  Throw out the fact of trying to get them to sit through a game without wanting to leave or spend the whole time getting concessions, and you still are left with the crazy factor.  BoA is a much tamer environment than most NFL Stadiums (good and bad), but it still is an environment I wouldn't want young kids in.  Most fans are alright, but still there are some (full disclosure... like me in my 20's) I would not have to explain to my kids (and ultimately what they repeat to my wife).

It depends on who you're sitting around and your child's temperament.  I took my daughter to a game knowing she might want to leave at any minute.  Thankfully, she loves football, and she's stayed for the entire game all 3 times ice taken here.

She'll be 4 in October, and I plan on taking her to 3-4 games this year.

Wow- I am truly impressed.  Maybe I need to rethink my plan.  I took my wife's (much) younger brother a few years ago when he was 11 and am basing a lot of my experience on that

Depends on why you are taking them, for you or for them.

I took mine too early and he climbed on the rails the entire game not paying attention to the game at all.  The 6 yr old mark might be best.  Each kid is different, nobody can make that call for you really

Ask yourself this question. At what age am I not going to turn around and say to a stranger at a sporting event "hey! don't use language like that in front of my kid!" That's the age you should consider bringing your kid to a game.

driving with me has prepared her for anything

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
