For the life of me, I CANNOT understand why a person would go to the ballpark for an event of this magnitude, and LEAVE EARLY to beat traffic?? I attend the Jaguars NFL games, and I have NEVER LEFT until the clock reads: 0:00. If I wanted to leave early, I would just stay home.
Are you NUCKIN' FUTS??
You could have saved a lot of bucks, and not had to second guess your decision to leave early and miss the ultimate excitement of the game winner FOREVER!!
Well, this IS America, and you are free to do whatever your heart desires, so far be it for me to give you grief - you missed the best part, and that is grief enough!!

I once told someone that I was at the game where Ripkin broke the consecutive game record, since I went to a game late in the year and, technically, Ripkin was breaking his own record in every game he played. I added that I was getting peanuts when Ripkin came to bat.
Think about all the people who went to the Browns-Bears game this weekend and saw the Browns leading 21-7 with less than two minutes to go, and decided to leave early to beat the traffic.
They're probably still scratching their head if they turned on the radio on the drive home and heard that the Bears won 27-21 . They must've thought they tuned in to the wrong game!
God, I love football season.
