re: Leaving at halftime

IMO the problem with fans leaving early is all tied to one chronic problem - the access roads to and from the stadium. Especially since LSU expanded the seating in the stadium.

I know this is a problem for me personally. I dont leave a game early but I only make it to 1 or 2 games a year these days because going to a game is an all day commitment that is hard to make with kids and adult responsibilities. If I could leave my house around 3 (Lake Charles) and reasonably expect to make it right at or just after kickoff while reasonably expecting to be home at or just after midnight it would be much easier to take care of what we need to do for the weekend and then go to the game. Instead, we have to basically plan to be on or near campus most of the day and when we get home is a crapshoot. There's been games where we don't get in till well after 2 in the morning which makes for a shitty Sunday with the wife and kids.

Even if it wasn't for other responsibilities the traffic makes what should be a great Saturday start and end with the stress of shite traffic and parking.
