Do your "fans" leave games early?

Tiger Rant is having their annual debate between the leave early crowd and the stay to the end no matter what crowd. Is people leaving before the end of the game an issue with your fanbase? And does it bother you or do you leave early?

Everybody has fans who leave early. Its human nature to want to not sit in traffic.

My ticket. I'm a grown man. I will do what I want. And yes - I left after the Sonic Boom played halftime.

I rarely leave games early. I left at half time last night.

I got up entirely too early (3:15) to go tailgating. By game time, I had finished off a whole bottle of vodka. I was jumping around and screaming at the beginning of the game. By halftime I was literally falling asleep.

Hey, it's just another part of LSU culture which is very unique. Accept it.

Not been to alot of games, but I never leave early, and don't see why I ever would. I even sat through La Monroe for Christ sake.

Yeah we have some pretty crappy fans, students in particular. They show up late and leave early. Idiots can't leave their tailgate a half hour early to see kickoff and they can't wait to get to the bars before they get too crowded. It's frustrating.

You can't beat the traffic. I always wait and let it clear some.

I'm going to the WKU/Bama game on Saturday and I know I will be out of there by halftime.

This is what we usually do. We go back and tailgate for a while after the game and give traffic time to clear out.

I think it depends on the heat and opponent. If your up by 50 and it's 105 out in the mid afternoon I see nothing wrong with leaving

If we're winning by a lot (lol) against some shitty team (jax state) at half I leave. But I stay of its close and/or a good team. However, I did leave at halftime for every game last year, do you blame me though?

I left at halftime and I absolutely beat the traffic. I'll do the same for Idaho and Towson.

sec games i pretty much stay to the end, none conference games vs good team ill stay to the end to watch us maul them. If we come out and give a dog shite effort vs a ooc team i will leave early like i did last night. 1. it was hot as frick and i was drunk. 2. I had seen enough of a shite effort.

If the team and les miles refuse to give 2 fricks about the game then no reason for me to stay until the end.

I try to stay through the whole game no matter what, that said, I left the game early yesterday. Between having a good bit to drink at the tailgate and it being hotter than hell out I was feeling pretty dehydrated and exhausted so I left at the end of the third quarter. I was also the only one left of my group at that point so I didn't feel like sitting by myself.

If it's an SEC game, though, I never leave early.

Generally no... If it is 100 + and the game is a blowout either way, we loose some to the heat.

Aggies tend to be die hard that way though.

I've been to about 135 games. I've left 2 of them early. One of those was because I was sick.
