Football How many NFL Games have you left early? - Page 3

**Buck** · 10-16-2009, 10:24 AM

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 never left a game early. And the last time I stopped watching a televised game early was the Montana comeback against Elway. BIG mistake! Now I watch to the bitter end.

Thats what, 24 straight years?

Once. 1996 at Arrowhead vs the Chargers. It was 28-0 sometime in the 3rd quarter, IIRC. The weather was very cold and snowy/icy. Bono was sucking. As we were leaving, the crowd was chanting for Rich Gannon to come in. Those were the best seats I ever had for a game at Arrowhead (Just a few rows up in the endzone).

Never have, never will. Win or lose I stay until the end.

However, I have to admit that I don't attend many NFL games these days. I've decided that unlike MLB and NHL (and NCAA hockey and basketball, for that matter), football is better watched on TV than in the stadium.

KCrockaholic · 10-20-2009, 11:12 PM

I will never, ever leave a Chiefs game early unless an emergency happens. Ive been forced to leave Kauffman early before in the 7th inning because of family wanting to "beat traffic" on the way out. That still pisses me off.....

Anybody remember the opening day Royals vs White Sox game when Beltran, Mendy Lopez, and Ken Harvey basically won the game for us in the bottom of the 9th? We all left the building chanting "Harvey" and talking about going 162-0.....Great times!! Great game!

None.

**007** · 10-21-2009, 03:17 AM

Preseason only. Regular season I hang out until the end unless I rode with somebody else. Then I am at their mercy.

KcFanInGA · 10-21-2009, 04:56 AM

Been to Arrowhead twice, Ralph Wilson once, and the Ga Dome many times, never left early. I can't do it.
