Given the vast majority of comments on this thread, seems you might have wanted to throw in the words "jury nullification" rather than "will" and "should be."
Each of my three kids went to their first game when they were between 12 and 24 months old. I have very, very fond memories of those games, and we took some of my favorite pictures of the kids at them. And the kids, now that they are much older, consider it a badge of honor that they first went to the stadium when they were that young.
I agree with a few of the comments above though -- whether it's worth it depends on the kid and what you expect to get out of the experience. If you are a superfan and plan to watch the entire game as intently as you normally would, it probably won't work out. Similarly, it probably won't work out if your kid doesn't like loud noises or can't sit still for any length of time. But if the plan is mainly to hang out with your kid at an early season body bag game, you don't mind missing some (and potentially a great deal) of the game, and your kid is ready for the crowd and the environment, it can be great.
In our case, we saw about 1/2 of the game with my first and about a quarter with our second. When we took our youngest, though, she refused to leave the stadium until well after the game was over. Not kidding. The only time she acted up the whole day was at half time (of a blowout) when I told her that we were leaving to go to eat at Blimpy's (which I had been talking up to her for a week). She was closer to two at the time, but a proud parenting moment.
