How long would you wait to take your baby to a major sporting event and why? I'm very tempted by some basketball playoff tickets, but wonder if my little guy is too young at 3 months.

Football tailgate at 3 weeks:)

My parents took my oldest to dodger games when he was 6 months. He mostly took a bottle and slept.

We took DS to a minor league baseball game when he was 6 weeks. He went to an NHL game when he was 10 months. Would have been earlier but the stinking lockout ruined it.
Playoff games can get pretty loud, I would recommend some noise cancelling headphones if he will wear them.

Depends on the baby! We won't be taking ours til she's probably a toddler, but that's because really loud sudden noises scare the crap out of her! Also because we want it to be a little lower stress so we want to go when she's a little more independent/needs less naps. We don't want to waste money if we're just going to end up going home right away! If you think yours will sleep there and basically be ok with the noise, I say go for it.

We took DD to a hockey match at ten weeks? It was fine, she slept through the whole thing.

We haven't taken our LO to a sporting event yet (at 14 months) but I'd say do it when they're younger and more likely to sleep. We took my nephew to a soccer game this past weekend. He's 6 months and all of the sudden noise and cheering made him a wreck in spite of the fact that he's a laidback baby. I think 3 months is a good time!

He's been to two OHL games and 1 NHL game (around 7 months?) When he got fussy I would just get up and walk with him and/or find somewhere quiet to nurse. Each time he slept through a portion of the game.

We'll probably take LO to an A's game this summer. DH is at one now, but I chose to stay home with her instead.

We took him to Spring Training at 7 weeks. Baby wearing is awesome at sporting events! He really wasn't fazed by it at all.
