The facts are these, we have people that are holding on to tickets that don't even cheer, clap or anything. They leave early b/c they are old and don't give a shite. They keep their tickets cause they can.

It kills me but it's true and I see it every game. Then there's the dipshits that are at their first game booing b/c the national champs didn't score a TD when they thought they should. It's embarassing and insane. What I wouldn't to see that place full of "fans".

I live in Fort Worth, Texas and I usually only have the opportunity to travel to Tiger Stadium for a game once a year, occassionally twice. I personally am gonna make the most of my time there and stay for the whole game.

When the game is over and I do leave the stadium, I take my time walking back to the car. The wife and I will than sit in the car and listen to the the post game radio shows while we wait for the crowd and line of cars to go by and thin out.

We will also talk about our day on campus and the crazy people we saw, talk about the team and the rest of the seson, etc.

I've never felt like we had to rush out and compete with others to see how quick we could get back to the highway or our hotel.

That being said I will never lecture those that leave early--I don't know what their reasoning is so I will not presume to know.

Agree, and leaving early is really bad.

What happens to a lot of people is they get in over their heads tailgating... I'm all for starting the pre-game 2 days early, but if you can't make it through the game because you're in too much of a blackout to stand, you need to learn your limits.

Why does the celebration for many happen only before the game and can't pull it together for the VICTORY party? Party before AND after the game!

I felt like this was one of the worst crowds I have ever seen in TS. I never really felt like the crowd was into it and the noise wasn't there.

2 dudes next to me left in the second 1/4 to watch the game on tv in the parking lot (and I had great seatst lower bowl about the 40 yrd line). Many empty seats around me by people leaving in the 4th to "beat the traffic".

Honestly if you aren't going to cheer for the team, and leave early because you are a little bitch who doesn't want to be out past your bed time please allow someone else who will support the tigers use your ticket. It isn't like we were blowing miss state out, the game was still sort of in doubt when people left.

Tiger stadium she ain't what she used to be.

What is better? Beating traffic by leaving with 7:58 left in the game, up by 10 against an SEC opponent, or staying to watch LSU beat an SEC opponent?


It's mostly those rich bastards in the chairbacks on the westside that always leave....i have seen them leave early in numerous games

It's pretty pathetic. I can understand leaving late in the 3rd quarter against North Texas, but this was a competitive SEC game. LSU should make more single game tickets available to the public and you'll get true fans and not rich douchbags.

I totally agree. I was in the north endzone and the entire stadium was pretty much full except for the west side chairbacks....they come to the games because its a "status" thing...makes me sick

I agree that tiger stadium ain't what it used to be. I had 2 whole empty rows behind me in the 4th and I'm sure the recruits notice this also. By the way I made it to the interstate in 20 min. and I left at 0:00. Where are the loyal fans.

Did you ever think that all those people might have had to take a shite after eating for 7 hours?

Most ladies will not go in TS and then the guy they're with has to leave, too.

Some people hate to be without alcohol after drinking all day... they want to leave 8 min early to get a new drink.

I don't think it can all be chalked up to being a shitty or dis loyal fan. '

I stay no matter what... Notre Dame in '97... S. Carolina '07... Miami of Ohio, '87 .. Miami, '86
