Minimum age for kiddo to enjoy a regular season game?

[luv]

Taking the kiddo to his first game during preseason this year. He'll be 3 1/2. I think he's too young for a regular season game. Just wondering what age you would want your kiddo to be before you took them to their first regular season game?

There's a definite difference in baseball and football. Even to a kid. So I don't think it's applicable to compare what the K does to Arrowhead in a football game. Even adults get bored at baseball games and walk around.

A 9 or 10 year old who watches games and can actually name the important players should be able to sit through and enjoy the game. In fact I think that's a good litmus test for it. If a kid knows about football and the players playing, most likely he can go and will be entertained. But if all he knows is "HOLY SHIT MAHOMES!" Because that's what he hears you scream on Sundays, then he's probably too young.

My 6 year old can name most of the players. One ofhis favorites is Mitchell Schwartz. He actually asked for a Schwartz jersey when i told him he couldn't have a hill right now.

He watched the whole first round of the draft with me last night lol.
