Who's wasting time?

Chances are I've been sitting in Tiger Stadium since before you were born.

I was telling the OP that while I understand where he's coming from, it doesn't make anyone LESS of a fan for leaving early. My ticket. My rules.

Some may feel different, but I would feel like I wasted my time if I spent the majority of a day preparing for an event, only to miss the conclusion.

And the ole "I'm older than you, therefore I'm insinuating I'm a more avid fan than you" response, although impossible to argue, considering you probably are older than me, it really amounts to nothing but pretentiousness.

I agree with you though. Your ticket your rules. You spent the money, therefore you can do what you want with it. BUT, I feel it's kind of a slap in the face to not only the team, but to many fans who don't have the opportunity to be in the stadium.

And I'm not talking about people who leave when the game has been decided, or people who have long drives ahead, etc. This is to people who leave at halftime in a close game, and pretty much have no valid reason behind it, except they don't feel like being there.
