Tell when that was so I can decide if you are full of...nostalgia that's been colored more P&G by time.

I stayed until the end and usually hate when people leave early. It's an incredibly bad look on tv and for the visiting fans. With that said, I have no issue with people leaving last night.

LSU needs to run a promo, stay to the end and get free Chick-fil-A sandwich!!!

Hell that’ll fix it

What is his excuse for the games that aren't late, rainy, and still close? It's been a problem for a while now

It really makes LSU fans look bad when the announcers of the game on national TV say half the fans left the stadium at half time !


The announcers who are paid to be there in their temperature controlled booth.

Like anyone cares what they think.

Define back in the day. Fans have always left early for blowouts.

Those days are over. The stadiums are too big now. Back in the day if you wanted to see the game, you had to go to the game. Now, you can watch on your big screen tv, in your media room, while sitting in a comfortable chair and watching other games at the same time. This is not unique to LSU. Partially full stadiums are affecting all of football (college and NFL).

The question on everybody's mind is, Why do people bother to buy tickets, endure pre-game traffic, and invest their time and effort in parking and walking to the stadium only to leave at halftime. This is unique to LSU (at least on this level). You don't see a mass exodus at halftime from other schools (not like you see in Tiger Stadium)

History does not bear this out. They leave in close games. They leave in blowouts. They leave when we are ahead or behind. They leave in rain and fine weather. They leave during early and late games. LSU has terrible fans. No other way to put it.

All fans are soft. This happens in every stadium in the country. No one has an attention span these days.

They would have left if it wasn't raining! Much respect to those who stayed!

It happens, but not to the extent that is happens at Tiger Stadium.

As I previously just stated, it doesn’t happen at Notre Dame. LSU should be held to that same standard

My dad and I were talking about this last night. It may be our last year and we’ve had our tickets for over 40 years. It’s too damn hard on him to have to be out there all day. And you have to get there early just to get a fricking parking spot.

There are a ton of people who go just to tailgate. The cops shut down all the main veins in the city to force traffic down 2 roads. It’s a fricking mess. The police interference with post game traffic makes it worse not better

Justin Vincent called out the students last night when asked about people leaving early. Just said that's their classmates basically and they should stay to support them.

He was t mad at all but answered the question about how he felt about people leaving early.
