I don’t care how badly your team is losing I think leaving early is pathetic

a core childhood memory is sitting in the pouring rain with my family while our football team was minutes away from losing badly and my dad pointing out people leaving early and telling me and my brothers that those are fake fans and to never be like them

My dad and I were at a game vs. the Avalanche. We were down two and a bunch of people were leaving and he wanted to beat the traffic. I refused to leave. Less then half of the arena was there when we tied it up and won it in overtime. It was the greatest comeback I’ve seen live

I paid for my ticket. I wanna see the game. Even to the end. Now, 20 seconds left in the 3rd and I'm slowly getting up.

If it's a sure thing one way or the other, I'll generally leave at the 2-minute mark of an NHL game. That can make a difference of saving 30+ minutes getting out of the ramp! Of course, I'll stick around if it's within a goal or two.

Definitely, NFL & NCAA football teams are blowing double digit leads in the second half on the regular and NBA teams are blowing 20 to 30 point leads in the second half on a more consistent basis now...

With how expensive ticket prices are I wouldn’t leave if it was 10-0

Replying to @slafshots
Pay for the seats Stay for the game Never will leave early no matter the score

Replying to @slafshots
I only leave early if the tickets were gifted to me and my team is lifeless.

Replying to @slafshots
All depends on a couple of variables; First, is it a weeknight? Two, how bad is the traffic or distance from game (once lived 2.5hrs away). Three, if not weeknight, how is my buzz doing (younger me)
