What age is right to take your kid to BOA?

How the hell you get these little ones to stay put for an entire game? I have 5 and 6 year old girls and while I think they'd have a ball with the overall experience, I do think they'd be ready to leave or go play in the parking lot by halftime.

I took my grandson at halftime to the Play 60 field and let him run around and play. Then again after the game. He really likes football so that is why I took him at such a young age. He does great during the game.

I'm taking mine to a Knight's game for his first sports experience next summer and he'll be 3 then. He MIGHT see a Panthers game in person before kindergarten but probably not. Last time I took somebody with me that wasn't a buddy it was my wife for the Seahawks playoff game....and a drunk asshole spilled his beer on my wife and that almost ended badly (tbf, his friends were less drunk, apologized, one walked him out and then ran back up with a beer for both of us a short while later so that was dope).

Just took my 6yr old to his first football game last Saturday and now he's excited for football on the TV instead of being mad that he can't watch Bluey or Teen Titans Go.

Luck of the draw tbh. We had some folks behind us screaming obscenities, but everybody else around us was fun. Might be worth bringing headphones since young ears can be sensitive to the noise.

Was thinking about taking the family to the TNF game since tickets were only $65/ea (vs TB is frigging $200+)

Like @trueblade mentioned, be prepared for them to want to leave around halftime or the 3rd quarter if youre lucky. Little attention spans run for only so long 😛

    • 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
