Saints have best child ticket policy in NFL

“Start ’em young, raise ’em right,” goes the maxim. It’s definitely one endorsed by the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints allow children five years old and under to experience the thrill of an NFL game for free. It’s, by far, the most family-friendly child ticket policy in the league. And one that helps Wee Dats grow into lifelong Who Dats.

“We are deeply appreciative and proud that the Saints represent everyone in our community,” said Dennis Lauscha, Saints President. “Our games are where people come together from every neighborhood, every background and every age. We want our games and fan experience to be great for fans of all ages and our policies reflect that commitment to inclusiveness.”

The NFL doesn’t set league wide guidelines on children’s tickets, and allows each team to set their own rules. Most go by age, while others have a height requirement. Six teams require everyone who enters the stadium to have a ticket – no restrictions – even babies, according to Ticket City, an online sporting event ticket broker.

Children who get into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome without a ticket do not have rights to a seat and have to sit on a parent or guardian’s lap. Still, they have the opportunity to see their football heroes in person.
