No, I guess I don't feel the need. If any of those games were actually close at half (or midway through that 3rd quarter since we're either watching on TV or listening on the radio in the lots), I would come back to my seat.

I'm glad that other people stay to watch the band and are there when the team takes the field for the second half, but I'm not going to be one of them. Other than that, I do my part...NCC, CGC, ISUAA. But the second half of games recently have not been very enjoyable. Our tailgates have been way more enjoyable than watching ISU get beaten down and give up.

I say we just charge to get back in, $35 re-entry fees ($45 after halftime)

Is that worded correctly?? They won't let you back in until AFTER the kickoff? I wonder what the reason is for that.

Too many people entering the gates before the game.

Well, I hope we are winning or close in every home game this year (except maybe Okie State) so you can stay in your seats. My goal is that the games get way more fun and just kill your tailgate experience!

So, if I go in early and then realize I forgot something I have to wait until after kickoff to go get it?

I think so. There are a lot of people trying to get into the game at that point and I think it might be diffucult to deal with re-entry at that time.

According to the rules, yes. Maybe that's part of the reason why there's such a crowd at the gates just before kickoff.

I love leaving the stadium at halftime and I never miss a play before of after the half. It drives me nuts when people really dont care to get back in the stadium during a close game.

Maybe you should become a Minnesota fan. They seem to enjoy those policies.

Used to leave every game... too lazy now.

**alarson** · 08-26-2009, 12:05 PM

If youre in S4\S5 its not hard at all to get back in by kickoff.

I don't feel one bit bad about missing half/most of the third quarter. They have my money, so I'm doing my part to help the program. Start playing better and keep my interest. Last year I don't think I saw the second half of any home game after KU.

So why enter the stadium at all? Why not just buy the tickets and make your donation but stay home or stay in the tailgate lots the entire time. After all, they already have your money.
