What age is right to take your kid to BOA?

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.

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.

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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
