I dont buy it. It would be nice if fans stayed til the end of the game. I will be honest. I rarely stay when Oregon is up 40 going into the 4th. Why stay?
I definitely am not staying when Oregon is playing Nicholls. Not a second past halftime actually.
Oregon blew out Tennessee, but its Tennessee, so there is a reason to stay.
Alabama has these teams as home games.
Colorado State
Ole Miss
Georgia State
Arkansas
Tennessee
LSU
Chattanooga Nov 23rd
If I am a season ticket holder, this would tick me off. Would you stay or even go to these games? Especially when there are great games on tv at home. That is where I am at with Oregon games that are cupcakes.... Why go???
Conference games, great, dont care how bad they are. Its in conference. As a fan, when it comes to October and November, I want to be attending those conference games. Thats just me. No this isnt a knock on your schedule, rather a debate on Nick's comments on fans attending and staying for games.

When you've won three of the last four national championships, including the last two, and your team is currently 7-0 and winning its games by an average of 31 points per game, it's difficult to find things to get upset about. But don't worry, Nick Saban's found something.
"I've talked about players playing for 60 minutes in the game and competing for 60 minutes in the game," Saban said. "And, in some kind of way, everybody that choses to go to the game should stay there and support the team for the game.
"Maybe if you're not interested in doing that, you should let someone else go who would really like to go because I have a lot of people who want to go,"
One of the reasons Saban is so concerned about what the stands look like in the fourth quarter is the possible impact it has on visiting recruits.
"We have lots of recruits there, we like to see an enthusiastic full stadium," Saban said. "We have a beautiful stadium and one of the nicest venues in all of college football and I think we all should show our appreciation for it by staying and supporting our team for the whole game."
