It's not just the students. The stadium wasn't full to begin with and it is half as full as when we started. The whole student section may be gone but 50% of the "adults" have left as well.
It's hot as hell in that stadium. I don't blame anybody with young children for leaving today. We left before halftime because my five year old was about to have a heat stroke. That, and I'm sick of watching second string players piss away a game that we really should be dominating.
All the people I know still in school were given free tickets or were sold tickets at an extreme discount and at some point or another were in the east or west sides.
Went to the game and left at halftime. I'm assuming all the people doing the bitching about people leaving weren't actually at the game to begin with. It was hot as balls. The temperature was 90 degrees but I can assure you that in the stadium it felt like 100+.
