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

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
