What age is right to take your kid to BOA?

[Riverboat Ron]

I was 5 at my first game during our inaugural season at Clemson. I think once they start showing interest in football and aren’t sensitive to loud sounds they are ready.

My grandson goes to games now and he is 4.

I think it just depends on how you are raising your kid. If you don’t mind the occasional curse word and spilt beer then whenever. If you are overly protective probably teens. I took both of mine before they turned ten. Oldest sons first time was great, in the late 90’s. Fans were great with the kids. Took the youngest in 2010 and it was a mess. Haven’t seen that many drunk asses in one place before. Well besides my time in the Corps, but that was expected.

I started taking mine as soon as they were potty trained. So, right about 12 years of age.......

Just joking of course but I did start taking them at 2. They are 24 and 22 now and big time Panthers fans.

Upper level. Absolutely not. Way to many drunk idiots that fight. Lower level, as long as you are ok with someone telling you to sit down at least once a game…maybe. Gameday atmosphere is alot more violent and not as fun as it used to be.

Any age is fine once the temperature cools off a bit.  We have a 4 and 7 year old and haven't taken them to a football game yet mainly due to the fact that all of my teams are not good at the moment and I refuse to drop a bunch of money on 4 tickets to watch poor football.

My almost three year old is going to some Canes games with me this season, no point in trekking to Charlotte for me knowing I'll hate the game most likely.

I took my Son to his first Panther game when he was 7. That was 1996. He is one loyal fan....as is our family.

This. It's all about what YOU want your kid to see/hear. Because there is a chance the sure might hear/see something. If you're ok with them hearing/seeing something ... go for it. If you are iffy ... don't ... unless you're in the Club seats. I took my 2 yo to a Yankees game once. If anything had happened, that'd be on me, and I knew that going in. Nothing happened.

Things are fairly tame these days - but I will say that it depends on who the opposing fan base is.  You prob don’t want your son to be around certain fan bases (Philly, Cleveland, Washington, etc.) who tend to take over our stadium.  Against the Cards??  Should be just fine.  Enjoy and have fun 

[Skack25]

It's all a matter of preference really.  I've seen people at the stadium with newborns.  My daughter is 5 and would never make it through an entire Panthers game.  Once the snacks stop flowing, she is ready to leave lmao.
