How many NFL Games have you left early?
I've only left 2 games ever early.
2008 - Chargers vs. Raiders - Thursday Night Football The Chargers were 4-8 headed into the game, and I was pretty much under the impression that the season was over. The Broncos were 7-5 at this point, so I didn't see how this was a meaningful game. It was on a Thursday so I had to work beforehand, and I couldn't get there 4 hours before kickoff. We got there probably an hour and a half before kickoff and got drunk in the parking lot. We didn't make it into the game until the end of the first quarter and at this point the Chargers were already beating the shit out of the Raiders. I was bored out of my mind and so was everyone else I was with, so we left at halftime. 2007 - Chargers vs. Chiefs You guys should remember this one. Dwayne Bowe ate the Chargers up all day, and the Chiefs returned a Fumble for a TD. When we were down by 14 with 6 or 7 minutes to go, I was disgusted and left. I missed the "Marty, Marty, Marty!" Chant though, thats my only regret. |
I've only left pre-season early, im still like 0-9 at arrowhead and 0-1 on the road lol saw the thrashing at denver like 2 years ago
i went to the oakland game this year too damnit |
none for me...had the wife take the kids out early at a raider game when it was rain/sleeting, but i stayed til it was over.
sec |
Never.
I've been to four games at Ravens Stadium, one at Fed-Ex, one at Cincy and two at Arrowhead and stayed until 00:00 in every one of them. |
Arrowhead is never going to see me leave early! Last year it was one of those freezing games....and my very skinny 13 year old son and I stayed the entire game. Froze our asses off, but damnit, ya don't leave Arrowhead early!!!
|
I've been to at least 50 NFL games, not including preseason, and had never left one til 2007. Pretty good record.
|
I left a preseason game at halftime when I had my daughter with me. That's all I can recall.
|
Once. I used to be a big 49ers fan. I went to see the Chiefs and 9ers at Arrowhead. The Chiefs destroyed them. I left late in the 4th quarter to beat the traffic.

We will now switch to a game that is more competitive.

I've only been to a handful of Patriots games in the past 10 years, since the tickets are expensive and hard to get. When I've gone, I've taken the train, and the train leaves promptly 30 minutes after the game... and, if you're in the upper deck at Gillette (which is usually where I am), it probably takes a good 30 minutes to negotiate all the winding ramps and stairs and walk to the train, and that's if you do it with no one around. If you try it with the entire exiting crowd, you're screwed. And, luckly, most of the games I've been to have been decided well before the final minutes, so I've left with around 7 or 8 minutes to go and listened to the game on my Walkman as I headed to the train.
I did see them in South Florida, a few years back, and Miami pasted the shit out of them, but we stayed until the end anyway. I also saw them in Buffalo back in '97 and '98 when I lived in Syracuse and, again, we stayed until the end. |

Only in preseason.

Not until last year, it makes a huge difference if you have season tickets or not. If you go to every game it doesnt have the same meaning like if you go to one game a year.

I've never left a game early. Not even the December game against the Donkeys when it was like 12 degrees and the stands were 3/4 empty. The day Tony Richardson ran for almost 150 yards on them.
I haven't been since 2004, but even then people were clearing out early. I can't imagine how it must be now. |
Are you attending the game on Monday night? My guess is, you'll be leaving early 4th quarter with tears of sadness in your eyes... so, it will soon be 3 games for you.
Denver will defeat your Dolts... prepare for pain. |
