Why I stay 'til the end

7 Saturday's a year we get to go party all day and enjoy a football game. The other 45 Saturday a year we sit around wishing we could be in that stadium. Fans myself included need to learn to enjoy the game for what it is!

Boom. And I agree. We wait all off season, why would I leave early? EVER?
Not to mention there's a finite number of games in your future. Have fun, plan to wait our traffic, enjoy the people around you, and Stay

When I had Season Tickets I never left early no matter what was going on in the game. Back in the day everyone around me was the same every year and some I knew personally and if you tried to leave early they would stare at you so I did not even try. I am like you I enjoyed getting out of the house for the day after working all week and walking around and talking to people. Sometimes a Vendor from work would invite me to Tailgate with them. Now I do not live in the U.S. and cannot go to the games.

Exactly, and let's just be honest here. What else is there to do in the BR on a Saturday night that comes close to Tiger Stadium. So, you're in traffic. We do that every single day here. That shouldn't be too unusual.
Truth is, it's hard to imagine you have to actually sell Tiger fans on staying in Tiger Stadium. What happened to that toughest place to play in College Football business? Seriously.... Student section and cheap seats are in for the long haul, but the sidelines are a bunch of buttercups.

Who do you think gave up all those prime seats once the fee was tacked onto it? MANY of those prime seats are no longer owned by the once dedicated die hards anymore. A lot of those are corporate seats. They could care less if a butt is in those seats. It's not like it was just 15 years ago and won't ever come close to rivaling it again.

"Fans" who leave before the game ends should be forced to forfeit their season tickets, or if they don't have season tickets, banned from future attendance in favor of real fans. The ruination of Death Valley!!!

Unfortunately for me I can't afford season tickets or to make more than a game or 2 a year but I surely ain't leaving early.
I remember all the passing and moaning about the neutral site games because it screws the loyal season ticket holders out of a home game.
Well then half decide to not even stay and cheer on their team through the 7 home games we get.

You may be right. All I know is that TS was a place to be reckoned with back before these most recent NCs. We seem to have lost that hunger we once had. I don't ever remember the crowds leaving like they do now.

I left to avoid watching Miles lay an egg in the 2nd half. Play an enjoyable brand of ball or shut the hell up.
Posted on 9/19/16 at 7:50 pm to HogIslandDuckman
And 7 Saturday's a year I'd have to sit in 3 hours of traffic for a 15 min drive.
Wouldn't be so bad if i wasn't bored shitless already watching a pathetic offense.

We actually do little tailgating.....but have known several players and their families for years. I have personally watched several of these guys grow up from babies. I stay until the groundskeepers tell us to start walking. In 2014, we even chatted up Bo's family on the OleMiss side for a bit....being that the wife is alum there.

That is great. Some may want to get home before 2am

While that's true, the Average Joe's in the end zones and upper decks also leave early or don't show up at all.

Even if you were the last human being to leave you would still get home well before 2 in the morning, unless you live far out of town or in another city, and besides, I know they like to roll the sidewalks up here after 9:00 pm, but zombies aren't real and the air is fine late night. You're gonna be fine. You may even get to live a little. This post was edited on 9/19/16 at 7:58 pm

You poor thing. Something you do to have fun for something you're supposed to have a passion for, I do on a daily commute. I put the radio on, chill and make the best of it for about 275 days a year. Such P*SSY "fans" we have now.

Every game wasn't on tv when TS was great. If you wanted to watch the tigers you usually had to be in the stadium. Now you can go out at half and start drinking g and eating again while watching g it on tv.

I live in North Louisiana. We stayed until the band left the stadium, walked to our vehicle across campus, stopped for gas in Livonia, and still got home well before 2 AM.

Millenials get a lot of hate, but there are plenty of special snowflakes among our supposedly adult fans.
