So I keep seeing excuses for people leaving early being 1) a lot of fans travel in to see the games and have to drive a couple hours after the games , 2)being being stuck in traffic too late into the night if they stay the whole game and lastly 3) due to tailgating all day they are either too tired or drunk to make it past 8pm.

So should we start moving all home games to day games. Would that help more people stay longer?

No magic in an empty stadium

230 games would definitely help

Our fair weather fans will only stay away the whole game rather than leave early because "It's too hot!"

Once the time changes the 230 game is basically a night game

Yes, purely for selfish reasons. I'd prefer not staying up 'til 4 in the morning.

LSU has no control over when their game happens.

Nice, glad to see the support. I'll start up the petition for Alleva.

BRING BACK DAY GAMES!

When the weather cools off, I prefer 2:30 games, to be honest...especially now since the "Tiger Stadium at night" aura and mystique has basically gone to shite.

In September?

The stadium would be empty in the 1st Quarter instead of the 4th, when playing rent-a-win teams.

day games don't bother me like they do some people


i like the late fall day games


day games during teal season these last 3 weekends would have hurt though, for me at least

Guys, every game that we have played up to this point has been decided going into the fourth quarter. I know we almost came back and won the MSU game, but that would have made the blue grass miracle look ordinary. The fans that leave early for the non conference games, know they are going to leave early before the game even starts. When we play good teams and the game is close the fans will be there and will be loud. They would have been there for the MSU game if it was not 34-10 in the fourth quarter.

Blame the schedule makers for the non competitive non conference home schedule.

or the fourth quarter.

Nothing could make the Blue Grass Miracle ordinary.

I think people left when it was 34-16.

This.
I think everyone is blowing this out of proportion. If you were at the MSU Game you know that place was rocking before MSU essentially grinded down the fans. If the game had just been a touchdown closer at that point and our offense had looked like they had fight left people would have stayed but at that point of the game it had even looked like our players quit and i know You "TRUE" fans will say that we almost came back and we should have stayed for that but at this point of the game there was no indication that harris would play or anything could get better. And for all those that say they would have stayed that werent there I ask this why didnt you go in the first place there were plenty of tickets left. So leave those who bought tickets to what was a horrible game to their own decisions that they paid to make while you live in a fantasy land that you would have stayed even though you decided to not even go in the first place.

imagine the outcry if they scheduled big name schools and we get a lose here and there. They bitching would be about, Why cant we play cupcakes like the other SEC schools.
