The reason why most LSU fans leave at half

Alcohol....
I'm watching a yankees game now and they're up 9-0 and everyone is still there. They aren't plastered like LSU fans before the game and don't need to leave to continue their buzz.

Tiger Stadium is freaking hot which is why we prefer night games.
Take in the fact that concessions suck, TVS are outdated and the lines are outrageous, the game experience is better from your tailgate or your tv.
TS has to improve their experience for the fans in order to keep them there all four quarters minus big games like vs Bama, Auburn etc (those games stay packed regardless).

I live in NY. I can catch the train from outside Yankee Stadium and be home in 25 minutes. It takes me that long just to get to my car after an LSU game.

There is a long list of why people leave TS early.

Bs. If anyone cares that much about being drunk they would just bring something into the game with them

I don’t think I’ve “gotten up” from any sporting events I’ve attended in a very long time, much less an LSU football game.
Why people miss the game to go get a chili cheese dog when you have 358 other days in the year to eat chili cheese dogs is beyond me.
I don’t want to miss a second of the action, much less a good twenty minutes.

Traffic + "life is busy" = early game leaving.
everyone is in a rush....add....more crap to do and less time to do it. Sundays are jammed packed. Traffic sucks....people cannot be 1 am getting home

They all weren't there yesterday when the Yankees got their arse kicked.

Traffic. Really the only answer.

1. Traffic
2. Atmosphere (no longer organic - pumped in music)
3. Tailgate (back to alcohol, good food and big TV's)
4. Product (more with Miles but was frustrating)

Also subway no traffic

..and traffic is brutal.
Stay until the end and you will be home maybe 2 hours later, and that’s for the people who live in the area.

The Yankees and the Red Sox is also one of the oldest rivalries from any sport in our country. Using them as an example isnt very fair. LSU vs Bama is no match for the hatred those two organizations have for each other and have had for over a Century

The product on the field has simply not been fun to watch....for a LONG time now. Play football to win....all the time....and people will stay. Play for something in November.....for a change....and people will stay.

Yeah, that's not it...you can drink in TS if you want.
The real reason is half or maybe more folks that attend games really are not passionate about LSU football, they are just there socially and really are not invested in the outcome as most of us here are.
It's just that simple. They are there for the party not the game and will take the first chance they can to leave and go to the next party.

1. TRAFFIC AFTER THE GAME
TS is built in a corner with the river blocking egress on one whole side, then the bottleneck of downtown BR on the north, and two lanes leaving to the south, with mediocre mid-town roads weaving out to the east. When the capacity was 78k, leaving wasn’t so bad. But now, the new capacity at ~100k has pushed leaving into a consistent quagmire. With any big, relatively close game now, not leaving early means people in the west side lots will not get out of the lots for at least 1 hour, meaning they won’t get on I-10 for 2 hours, and home to Lafayette for 3 hours or to Lake Charles for 4 hours. Late ESPN games mean getting back between 3 and 4 am. Then throw on top of that the Halloween fund raiser they have by Pastime the whole month of October, and gridlock occurs. Contra Flow? That’s only for the genius politicians. One possible solution for those from the west would be for LSU to provide lots on the west side of the bridge with ample buses, which then could be privileged to utilize contra flow going in and leaving. That would limit cars coming in AND take advantage of open contraflow lanes.
2. DAYTIME HEAT
Hanging around all day and then paying top dollar to endure the heat are likely the prime reasons that LSU football has been a nighttime tradition.
These are absolutely the reasons why a multitude of friends from west of the Mississippi either leave early or decide not to show up at all.
