I have read numerous posts about the reasons fans leave early. Traffic, tailgates, frat parties, etc.

The underlying reason is that we are now a society with a short attention span. You know the reasons why so I don't need to have a long post explaining it. But many fans can't sit still long enough to make it through an entire game without getting "bored" and having the need to go do something else.

I can't explain why it seems to be happening to a greater extent at LSU than other places. But it is happening elsewhere too and even with viewership on TV.

No, people don't want to spend more time getting home from the game than the game lasted.

So if we've identified the problem, how does it get solved?

Better connectivity in stadium?

Sell beer?

What?

Make it stop.
These constant threads are far worse than people leaving early

Selling beer in the stadium is guaranteed to keep more fans there.

I watched the last half of Wisconsin an Ohio St. An not one son of a bitch left the stadium. I was also watching some of the hogs / Rebs an the stadium was full. Your theory is a pile of dog shite.

This happens all the time. Take the damn blinders off. There is a underlying issue with people leaving .

Traffic has always been an issue at LSU games. Always. It's a lame excuse. And what's the excuse for the student section? Don't give me traffic.
