This weekend I will have a chances to baptize my son to follow my religion:)
Here's my 2¢ worth:
If your son has the desire to watch a football game, an understanding of what is going on, and the attention span of being able to watch 4 hours of football I would say "great" bring him to the game. If not, do the baby a big favor and leave him home with a sitter.
You may think it is "cool" or "neat" to bring a baby to an Ohio State football game to "baptize" him, but is not necessarily a "great time" for the baby. Over the years I've seen some cases where it was really hot and sunny, or cold, wet, and rainy where people had a baby with them at the game; and the baby was just miserable. My wife would comment that it should be considered child abuse to bring a baby to a game with weather conditions like this.
Consider:
1) You never really know what the weather is going to like in Columbus.
2) Depending on where you park, it will probably be a long walk to the stadium.
3) There are a lot of steps in Ohio Stadium.
4) Babies tend to get cranky when they miss their afternoon nap.
5) Babies like to be changed when they dirty their diapers. Now you miss some of the game to the restrooms to change him.
6) There is no place for them to "play" or others to play with. You'll have to keep the baby entertained and undoubtedly miss more of the game.
7) Babies get hungry and they may not like the food available at the stadium. If they do water costs $4 a bottle so you can guess what other items cost, i.e. cotton candy, kettle corn, candy, hot dogs, coke, pretzels, etc. The rules are that you can not bring any food, drinks, or containers into the stadium. I don't know if they make exceptions for baby food.
8) For the $58 dollars that you would spend for the baby's ticket you could easily hire a baby sitter, and both of you would have a much more enjoyable afternoon.
