is tampa still getting a new stadium? i remember seeing artist's renderings during the 08 world series and it looked pretty cool

Tampa had plans for this cool looking park that had this retractable lining that covered the field like an umbrella but it was scrapped due to zoning politics and the such.

And Dolphin Stadium is alright. Ya know why? It's fucking beautiful Miami.

Yeah until you have to deal with those summer thunderstorms. :(

Now you see why they've won 2 championships in their short existence.

I don't leave early....I remember a hockey game where Hartford was down a goal with under a minute people started leaving....New Haven iced it and the faceoff was in their zone with like 2.4 seconds left, as more people were leaving they scored off the faceoff and ended up winning in overtime...awesome game.

good for you....

i remember when the birds won the nfc championship and my friend wanted to leave before the trophey presentation because he was so cold. granted, this was right after a blizzard and we were freezing our asses off. but after waiting so long, there was no way i was going to leave that place early. ladies and gentlemen---my friend was 100% fraudulent that day.

Yeah, I agree. No leaving early. I was at a Stars game a few years ago against Pittsburgh and they were down 4-0 in the third. They scored 4 in the third to tie it with the tying goal being with 3 seconds left then scored in overtime.

I guess football is different. If you are down three TDs or something in the 4th with 5:00 to go, then OK. But I don't go to Cowboys games that much due to the cost so I stick it out because I don't know when I will go again.

I try not to leave Rangers games early because you never know when they are going to hit 5 HRs in an inning.


Oh, and my allegiances, since born and raised in Dallas:

Football - Cowboys, obviously
Baseball - Rangers, although I think those rules allow for me to dump them at some point due to management incompetency, but I can't help it. They are my team even though they suck.
Hockey - Stars
Basketball - I could care less
College Football - Texas, although I didn't go there. My school didn't have a football team so I guess I take them by default. My son (who is 11) is convinced that is where he wants to go so has gone to great effort to get anything and every thing that a) is burnt orange and b) has a longhorn on it including hats, hoodies, shirts, iPods, flags, etc. SMU is the home town school but I didn't go there, so I don't have to root for them.

no fraud here. good going flag.

i agree with you guys on baseball. i tend to stick it out till the end much more often there cuz you never know. football's different though. i said 3 score game earlier. i'll put it to at least a 17 point game with 7 minutes or less to go and the other team has the ball.

back in 04 we had the pleasure of leaving multiple games early when we were blowing teams out by 3 tds or more though. i remember this packers game where we were up by like 4 touch downs at halftime. i think we left early in the 4th of that game. place was half empty at that point. good times

PatrickBateman

Being from CT, and really only having the AHL Hartford WolfPack and Uconn Huskies, I do root for them. And although I was happy for the Uconn men/women in basketball, I never watch it , and didn't pretend to be a huge fan of basketball when they won. Basketball sucks. I do follow and go to Uconn Football games.

Also, I have to travel a good ways to see a Major league game, so I don't leave early then either no matter the situation. And if my team is destroying another, I still like to stick it out and applaud them after the game is over.

back to the matter at hand....is it fraudulent to leave a relatively close game early to beat traffic? and what would the parameters be if this is a gray area? how big of a blowout does it have to be for this to be okay?

my dad leaves baseball games by the 8th inning like clock work. he's not really a big baseball fan...but regardless, he's a fraud!

what say you?

define relatively close???? is it possible that your team could lose/win in the dying minutes??? if so then yes it is fraudulent.


i was visiting my olds interstate one year back in the mythical early 90s and we went to a basketball game that went into quadruple O/T. my father insisted we leave before the end of the 4th O/T. i wasnt happy but i left cause he was driving and it was a long walk back to the island. i dont feel bad about it cause neither team was 'my' team. thus i dont consider this fraudulent.
