3 1/2 is a definite no. Can you really see them (and you for that matter) enjoying the game?
I'm bringing my son to KC for the home opener for a guys weekend for his 10th birthday this year. For me personally, 10 is the earliest I would bring my kids. NFL games really aren't for children. Massive crowds of over served people originally had me pushing it past 10 years old. |

I took my 2 sons to the Cleveland Browns day after christmas game (Dec 2015) as a surprise present. It was the first game they have ever went to. My youngest was 7 and my older one was 12. They both had a blast and have started watching every game since.
Despite being cold they both watched the whole game and were really into it. I think that if my youngest was any younger, he wouldn't have paid much attention to it...IMO The other thing to consider is all the beer drinking, cussing and such. You don't want a 3 year old learning to say **** after a game and knowing how much the beer costs..... ![]() |

Depends upon the seats and the opposing team. Lower level is probably fine for the 10ish range. I'd say older for dealing with the drunks and raider scum that show up in the nosebleeds.

8. If he's old enough to smoke he's old enough to go to a game.

I first went with my dad at 5 and loved it from the first time. It was our thing that my mom and sister didn't want to do. I will say that was an era when there wasn't nearly as much drinking at the game, but I certainly got to know what a drunk was and I learned all my first swear words there. I was a very shy girl so I took a while to not be nervous around so many strangers, but most everyone was really really nice and I warmed up to them (season tickets so similar folks every game was helpful.)
I had been watching games on tv with him for a couple of years before that. It probably depends on the kid and how much parenting you have to do from minute to minute as to whether you will still enjoy the game with them there! |

First game I went to I was 4.. it was preseason game. I don't remember much but remember a few things. The astro turf.. we were playing the Lions... thats about it. First game I remember actually going to was the KC oakland playoff game in 91 I was 6 and I remember it was so ****ing cold!
I also think it depends where you sit, if you can afford to spend a little more on tickets and get in the lower bowl or in the suites its better. If you're trying to get cheap tickets and sit up top then I would wait until the kid is a little older since it can be a little more wild up there lol

I didn't take my kids until they started watching full Chiefs games on TV with me. That generally did not happen until they were 10. I also made the preseason games the first experience to be sure they could handle it.

The question you have to ask is....can they accurately aim a laser pointer at Tom Brady? That should give you the answer you seek.

Based on the number of drunk, eager-to-fight-everybody ass-clowns, I'd say like 18 at this point.

That was a problem I experienced last year with my 10 year old. Family behind and next to us were belligerent drinks spilling beer on everyone. I reported them and had my seats moved because I was not spending an entire season dealing with that bullshit. Chiefs were kind enough to accommodate my request and now we have awesome 50 yard line seats with great neighbors.
