trying to give their child an enjoyable evening

An enjoyable evening for a toddler does not include watching a professional sporting event from a luxury suite, or any other seating. The term for a young child at such an event (or in a movie theater, or on a floating party barge) is "dragged along."

And yes, it is a terrible tragedy. I'm so sorry this happened to the child and his surviving family.

And how exactly do you know a toddler doesn’t enjoy such things? You read the minds of all toddlers?

You’re right.

I wouldn’t expect them to sit in the regular seats, but we’ve taken our young kids (ages 2-8)to watch hockey games from a box several times, and they enjoy it very much. They really get into the game.

That’s exactly what I thought. Toddlers do not consider going to luxury suites at the Staples Centers an ‘enjoyable evening’. That’s what some ADULTS consider to be enjoyable. Toddlers don’t give two craps about watching sports.
