I hate this too and agree with the OP. This is when other teams make their run.
It sucks when students don't show up.
It also sucks when regular ticketholders sit down immediately after standing for a whole timeout.
Both of those things suck.

Us old people also realize that it's just a game. The course of human history is not going to change whether the Cyclones win or lose. Just keeping perspective.
I would prefer if you left under the 2 minute mark, not 1. I dont know if you crawl to your vehicle or what, but I still have to wait for you to get out of the parking lot after I spend the added 178 seconds watching until the final buzzer. I thought you were in a hurry?
Kudos to the Hilton team for selecting "Turn Down For What?" as the under four minute timeout sound filler, its a banger that screams go crazy, but it got me wanting to know, To the late game concourse watchers... What exactly are you turning down for?
Don't know, I'm not one of them.
BTW, when my wife and me attend an occasional game, we stay not only until the end of the game, but a little after because we know it's a long wait in line in the parking lot, and it's warm inside.
I suppose getting to the car early insures not missing the post-game interviews by John and Eric on the radio. I guess that could be considered a plus...maybe.

I will never understand why so many people leave early. A few, sure, but not droves. Cheering the win is a big part of the overall experience. And leaving when we are down by only a few points like against KU is insane.
No deal; the game is still in doubt at 2 minutes... I don't want to miss any of the action.
We are in a hurry, that is why we leave with 1 minute left. If we didn't we would be stuck leaving with people like you who stay to the end for some reason.
Sometimes, it seems that the start of a song quiets the crowd. Whereas if they just let the crowd go, the cheering might continue through the time out.
Yeah, takes people out of going crazy to clap in unison, then sit down when the music stops. I blame the music.
Ok, I'm old, but this tired response bothers me. The reason you stay to the end is because the game is not over. I'll bet you left The Avengers right before the final fight too.
Personally, I think we got the better Canadians (Naz also). However, I might be just a wee bit biased...
CAVEAT: I think it's great that the students want to stand the whole game. If I sat in that section I would stand also...it's kind of like a pre-recquisite. I don't think you can impose the manners rule on students standing in the student section, just as they can't impose the "stand for the entire game" rule on the donor sections. Fair is fair.
