When do you leave MSU Football Games? Do you...
POLL: How early do you leave MSU Football Games?
Penn State has been getting some love today for selling out all 21,000 student section tickets. This reminded me of certain posters bashing MSU students for leaving football games early, which got me thinking... How early(if at all) do you leave MSU football games? Students or non-students, what say you?
Obviously, some people prefer to leave early because of a long trip home, others just want to beat traffic, etc. So feel free to provide the reasoning, but how early do you leave MSU football games?

If it's 55-7 in the 4th quarter against Youngstown State, I'm leaving and going to continue my buzz elsewhere.
Can't wait for all the "#1 fans" in this thread to come out.

I've never understood the whole "gotta beat traffic" thing with sporting events.
You paid a lot of money to go to a game. Why not enjoy it until the end? Is going home really that much better?
I remember several OSU fans around us leaving halfway through the 4th quarter of the B1GCG last year after MSU went up by 3 points. The game was still very close and OSU was about to get the ball back.
They had apparently seen enough and were ready to head back to their hotels. WTF?

I don't claim to be a better fan than anyone else, but I'd stay for the end of a 55-7 blowout against Youngstown State unless it was raining or below 20 degrees. I can drink beer anytime, I only get to go to a few MSU football games each year.
Can't wait for you to argue with me about this.

I am a Spartan. I only leave early if they throw me out for being belligerently drunk.

I lean this way as well. For the most part, if it's a blowout, I'm leaving midway through the 4th
Exceptions to the rule are games like 29-6 over UM

If you're a student, and "home" is a 10 minute walk away, the game is a blowout, then yes, I would say it is

Nothing really to argue about, just personal preference I guess. I would rather and go hang out with friends and drink somewhere than watch the 3rd stringers give up a meaningless field goal in the 4th quarter.

Sure sounds like you're claiming that. I'm not saying I leave early but it's my money so why should you care?

Sat through the monsoon last year during WMU, never left my seats. My seats are really close to an exit, so I usually stay until its over take a couple steps and I'm down a ramp.

I leave whenever I feel like it. Depends on the game, my mood, who I'm with.

I stuck around for the game because I was heading home with my family afterwards(Labor Day weekend). Had I not been leaving campus, I probably would've left

I think the only game I left abnormally early was the 2008 tOSU game, and that was halftime.

Never leave, and stay through Shadows. I think the pendulum has swung. If you hang out and chill, the traffic isn't that bad.

Have to hang out after the game, at least an hour at the post game tailgate and getting out is a breeze after that.

Only left early once. I was with my mom, who hates football and I was 11. We were killing Minnesota that day and it was raining like hell. She stuck it out for three quarters and then we had to pack it in.

This question wasn't asked on tcock. You have a higher percentage of normal people here. So the answers all seem reasonable. I left with ten minutes left after the nd game when crapwell was the qb. It was obvious to me then the kid couldn't lead this team.

I'll stay to the end on a blowout. A lot of times some cool or funny shit still happens, like a lineman getting a chance to come in for a play to run the ball, someone who's been "the glue" guy but not played much will get something drawn up for him, etc, shit like that.
