Especially when the game is close? I stay until the end of every game, and did with the Hornets. Trust me, the traffic is not bad at all, and if you park anywhere but the parking garage adjacent to the Ford Center (which is too expensive anyway), it takes no time to get out.

It looks really bad on television to see so many people leaving, and it's bad for team morale. We need people to chill out about the traffic (We live in Oklahoma City, for heavens sake, not LA!) and stay until the end of the game. I've seen games won in the last 15 seconds, and this one could have been. Who wants to miss that?
