This is, like it or not, the truth.
In the Glory Days, when Tiger Stadium was loud, proud and fans stayed to the end, most fans had a flask to maintain their pre-game buzz throughout the game. Except the students ... they had a fifth.
Go to a party where serving alcohol ends at 10:00pm. Note percentage of guests still around at 11:30.
Same party, same guests. Continue to serve alcohol. Note percentage of guests still around at 11:30.
Students used to stay till the end. Students also continued to imbibe throughout. (legal age was 18y.o.) Today, students head out to 'party.'
A secondary fact is the games are now made to be watched on TV. Let's rev up the volume with full-throated cheers. No, wait, it's a commercial. OK, now, start again. Really?
Which coach said, "you can smell the bourbon down on the field." I forget.

1. selling beer until the end of half time
2. actually fix the contraflow issues
3. show highlights of other games going on during the commercials
4. massive wifi service for cell phones. people want to communicate during the game and use facebook/twitter.
do those four things and the game day experience would be second to none in the entire country.

Have a dyy wedding and you're lucky if they stay for the father daughter dance, open bar and you can't kick them out. I like whiskey but not everyone wants to get wasted on 3 hours of bourbon.
Does the student section still use the old trick of putting flasks in girls sports bras? About the only place the cops wouldn't pat down.
(Haven't left a game early for 15 years unless it was on the road and I didn't want to get into a fight with jack wagons)
