If more people stayed till the end, and cheered the team on, and they in turn pushed harder until the final whistle, and the team maybe scored a few more goals, and maybe a few more points, that could matter at the end of the season.

Why not lock the stadium doors until 5 mins after full time. It would discourage people from leaving early and holding on to the fans and atmosphere until the end of the game would benefit the team.
