First a couple of comments and second a few suggestions.
If you take a small child to a sports event understand you are doing it for their pleasure and not yours. You will probably not be able to enjoy the game in the same way you have done so in the past. Your child will demand attention, that is a given, and keeping focused on the event will be almost impossible. If you accept that going in then you will enjoy the event much more.
Here are a few suggestions. If possible make sure your partner is with you. A small child will require supervision and observation. Two adults are better than one. Instead of a sporting event, for a first time outing, a circus might be more fun, and keep your child's attention a little better. Make sure drink cups are securely capped and you might want to consider transferring their drink to a sippy cup. Finally, and most important, get an aisle seat, your child will be getting up frequently. Most importantly, always remember this is for your child's enjoyment and not yours.
