That is the only thing that might solve this. People look at the time, they are tired, they are drunk, they don't want to fight two hours of traffic, and they have been there for the social event since 10am eating, drinking, and sitting around. By 9pm, they are ready to go home. It looked like the game was in hand, so people left. It was stupid, but it is what LSU fans do now.

We need to stop having night games. The traffic situation needs to be fixed. And, LSU fans need to stop be a national embarrassment. I've been to my share of games over the years and I don't care what is happening - I'm not leaving till its over.

Obviously, LSU fans can no longer handle staying out past 9pm on a weekend.

I do have to admit, It a hell of a lot easier to deal with when we have a 6PM kickoff than the traditional 7PM...that extra hour makes a ton of difference...

Your analysis is correct. 90% of our fans are there to tailgate. They truly are not there for the game itself. Pretty hard to debate this, it's obvious.

Bunch of drunk bums who are too loaded to stay at the game (or are itching to return to their tailgate for more drinks).

You idiots like this problem is unique to LSU. It's not. There were a lot of empty seats all over the country yesterday due to bad opponents and bad weather. This is 2013 America, people. High definition television has changed everything.

How am I being an idiot?

Our fans care more about the social part of it than they do the football part. It is what it is.

Always been this way. It's just that the social part isn't in Tiger Stadium anymore.

The market is driving this. LSU fans no longer stay for the end of games. They all want to go home early and go to bed. They hate traffic. I have sat in two hours of traffic trying get out of Tiger Stadium myself. I live out of state now, but still travel back for games now and then. People leave early. It is what it is.

Scrap Saturday night in Tiger Stadium. Clearly, not enough people like it to stick around for the whole thing. Start games at 4pm so people can have the second half be dark and still be in their PJ's at home by 9pm.

It is what it is. LSU admin needs to see it and change or we will have this forever - a half empty Tiger Stadium in the 4th quarter of SEC games.
