With all this bitching about no night games I thought about my pet peave, "fans" who leave at halftime or 3rd quarter.
For those who went to the game, when did most people leave? Maybe they leave because the night games are past their bedtime?

When I was standing on the west side ramps during halftime I saw a lot of RVers head out. But the majority of people who left early did so early in the 4th quarter.

Players want fans to leave...means they did their job.

The stands remained pretty full until after the start of the 4th quarter (though some gaps started appearing here and there in the West lower between the 30's mid-3rd, as the really important people had other really important things they had to do). Once LSU scored the TD that made it 41, the exodus began in earnest.

Between 15:00 - 10:00 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.

Fan police are definitely slipping and I thought they'd be out in full force on Saturday. I made it out the gates with about 6 minutes left on the clock, with nobody so much as giving me a second glance.

Freaking slackers.

It was a better crowd performance than Kentucky or WVU last year. However, day or night, early departures were still rampant in the fourth quarter. I watched this issue closely on Saturday, as it is dear to my heart. Here was the progression of exodus:

Sliver of seats in the top of the northwest corner of the noth endzone, which seem to vacate by the end of the third quarter each week

East sidelines

West sidelines

Upper Decks

Alot of these seats were previously occupied by people either wearing orange or blue. Can't imagine why they wouldn't want to watch such an amazing performance....

It remained pretty crowded until midway through the fourth.

Couple behind me left at the end of the 1st quarter.
