In Fagan we trust.
Ten years ago, I took my two/three year old to Lions v Hawks at the MCG complete with pusher. It was pretty tight to start with then Buddy kicked late goals in a couple of quarters & the crowd went off. My little fella sat with head down & ears covered. It wasn't a particularly pleasant experience for that young child. I said at the time "Never again! Imo taking a baby is not a good idea & to do it without ear plugs for them could be harmful to the child. Maybe our supporters are simply more switched on in regards to "times to find a babysitter" events.
FWIW we brought our girl along at 2.5 months. The timing of games makes it a little tricky at times but she handled it like a champ. I was also concerned about the noise factor but it appeared to be a non issue, she tended to sleep through at least one of the quarters each game.
These days, she's now 2 years and a few months, and is fanatical. Yesterday's probably the first game I've seen her not really enjoy the noise, mostly because of how quickly we went from ambient rumble to instant yelling - but once she was able to see our faces and the expressions of those around us she was cheering and clapping along.
I still feel a little squeamish about real little freshies coming along to games you know are going to be super loud.
** GRATUITOUS CHILD SHOW OFF WARNING **
This was her yesterday after the final siren.
