My 7 month old baby will get in the gate without her own ticket? They used to be pretty cool about that since they don't take up a seat. What is the new policy?

Which is a good policy. If you're taking your baby to the game, you're also bringing along a lot of other **** (otherwise known as baby assessories). No way in hell you can squeeze the kid plus all the other **** into 0 seats. Do the people sitting around you a favor and just buy a ticket for the baby. If you bought season tickets, you should have bought a season ticket for the baby.

Last year I carried my 4 year old in for almost every game without him having a ticket. The policy says everyone has to have a ticket but I have never seen them enforce it. There is no way in hell that I would buy a full price ticket for a seven month old that will likely leave by half time.

I HATE sitting next to people with kids who don't buy them tickets. They bump into you constantly, spill ****, and are just a pain in the ***. A four year old takes up way too much room to not have a seat of their own.

If i have to, I will just go buy a ticket for my 7 month old - whether from the ticket office or a scalper.. We ordered season tickets with a big group, not realizing that we would need one for our youngest.

Thanks for the info

We have block of 12 seats so it is not real hard to fit him in. One of the times that he did use a ticket some fat *** decided that my son was not entitled to his ownseat so actually sat my rented chairback. I agree children ruin a good experience for others but I would never bring mine if that were the case.

I want to make sure I understand this first. Some dude was sitting in the seat that your son had a ticket for? And if so, did you not tell him to move?

some fat 17 was sitting in YOUR seat, which YOUhad a ticket for, and was being hostile? And you let him get away with it?

Was your wife and kid with you and see this?

I mean, if you're not the type who tell him to get his fat *** up out of your seat (a *****, in other words), you do realize there are event staff people there, to do just that?

yeah, you're giving MSU the extra ticket sale. But you're still forcing one more person, albeit a small person, into a section where there's not a seat for them. And it puts everybody else out around you.

I have a kid I'm bringing to the game, and for that very reason, I traded in my season tickets this year and bought 4 seats in the upper deck for the games I can get to. For 3 people.

Actually, I'm bringing him anyway, but our seating is much more kid-friendly on the press box level. There is a stroller parking lot at the entrance, and the individual folding seats ensure that you won't be taking up someone else's seat.

I doubt he and his mom stay for much of the game regardless. I'm more worried about his ears and my having to deal with them during the game, but she wants to come, so we're going to try it for this game...

Yep. The AD issued a statement a while back explaining that the long standing policy that everyone (including children of all ages) must buy a ticket will now be enforced.</p>

and be so damn cheap that they can't 1, buy a ticket for the kids, and 2, see why they actually SHOULD buy a ticket, beyond the financial aspect.

The same fanbase that produces people who make up stories about how full beer cans were thrown at their children while walking through the baseball stadium at Oxford, cutting them all the way to the bone, while filling the air with profanity that would make a sailor blush.

Forgive me if I just don't have pity on them.

IHATE sitting next to people with kids who don't buy them tickets.
There's a huge difference between sitting next to a kid who has a seat and being squeezed out of your seats because the couple sitting next to you thought they could fit both of them plus the kid plus the diaper bag plus the changing bag plus the food/bottle bag all in just two seats.

If you don't want to buy a ticket because in your mind it isa waste, don't bring them. I have two kids that are young and I leave them at home with a sitter, family, or wife. When they are old enough to want to stay the whole game they can come and I will buy them a ticket.

Please get a sitter, especially if you don't plan on buying a ticket for the wee one. And to avoid the "you don't understand" charge, I have four children.

That doesn't mean he has to like YOUR kids.

and I bought him a ticket if for no other reason than to support the university.

And I hope he spills a coke all down some of you bastards backs. Not really. Really, just buy him/her a ticket to support.

I don't know you but I can already tell that I do not like your cheap ***. Buy your kid a ticket or leave his *** at home.

Before you accuse me of not liking kids, I have two of them, 7 and 3 and each of them has a ticket. I don't give a damn if I had a block of 50 seats, support the school and teach your kid "the right way."

I have come to understand that I really dislike the majority of our fans.
