who won't leave early? They surely must exist, because they keep getting mentioned (mythologized) on here.

They don't exist. The stadium is now so big and tickets so plentiful that anybody who really wants to go to a game can usually find tickets for most games. They mythical construction worker and shrimper from Galliano haven't gone to LSU games in 30 years.

btw... I had people around me who were apparently "given" other people's tickets, and they left at halftime.

And the situation will get much worse with another stadium addition.
I know plenty of people that cannot afford to buy LSU tickets - when you add in TAF, it is as high if not more expensive than many Saints tickets.
Considering the monsoon yesterday, it was nice to see the game GOLD when it started.
I will never forget that Miami "hurricane" game back in the 80's - still wonder WTF why we stayed that entire a-- beating??

I'm pretty awesome. I cheer every play. Don't curse in front of kids, and stay the whole game.

But I'm poor so you'll have to give them to me.

Hannagriff broke this down the other night on Tigerzone.
Said about 1/3 are die hard football fans. 1/3 are there for the tailgating. 1/3 are there for something to do.

The price excuse is old and lame and cheap tickets outside the stadium are proof of that. I know people every week from all financial backgrounds that have tickets given to them and they leave early or don't go at all.

The blue collar , die hard fan is more myth than reality.

Me. If you sell tickets to good games for face value, post them on the ticket exchange and I'll buy every one of them.

I can only make it to a few games a year, but I have only left once before the band plays the circle of life.

The point is sorely missed. The size of Tiger Stadium has nothing to do with "fans" leaving at halftime or mid-third quarter or any other early exit. It's a growing phenomenon each season.

I can't blame this on kickoff time, as that varies from game to game. Weather isn't the issue either except for some folks last night. We've been winning for years, so that's not it.

I believe it a combination of a number of the following factors:

1) Less seats available for students (smaller student section)

2) The overall cost to purchase season tickets has eliminated the typical middle class fan and family in favor of corporate/company purchases

3) Parking and traffic issues around the campus

4) Fair weather fans

5) Apathetic ticket holders

6) A different generation from "the good old days"
2)

I can't believe some of the people bitching on here about leaving the game early last night.
I was amazed as many people actually showed up as they did with the shitty weather.

They should have prizes and giveaways for the best fan contest each week since so many people who post on here seem to like to have pecker measuring contest about who is the best fan.
