NFL: Super Bowl Saturday

[Isualum13]

A high schooler started a petition to try and get the NFL to play the game on Saturday instead of Sunday as Saturday isnt a school night has over 30,000 signatures now.

I think playing the game on Saturday is a good idea. College football championship should be a Saturday too.

They estimate over 17 million people will call in on monday morning to take the day off.

What do you people think.

No. Pro football is Sunday’s. Start the game at 3 and it would solve a lot of issues.

Or just not have 3 hours of commercials

I think it should be on a Sunday, but it is obviously annoying.

And college football is just generally stupid with bowl scheduling. CFP games should be on NYD regardless of what the Rose Bowl wants to do. The CFP National Championship on a Monday is kind of weird but it’s been that way going back to BCS days.

I like the NYE games for CFP.

Probably should stop playing some playoff games on Saturday then.

Viewership would drop drastically.

Saturday makes WAY too much sense for the NFL to ever do it.

IMO, it would be a LOT more fun if it was on Saturday.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

It makes no sense for TV to have it on Saturday. People have things to do on Saturday’s and would ruin viewership.

What would they have to do on a Saturday that they might not on a Sunday? I don't see the difference. It's a big enough social event now that people would just plan around it if it was on a Saturday.

That was my point as well. The Super Bowl gets SO many casual viewers that just wouldn’t make the time on a Saturday.

You don’t think people have other things planned for Saturday’s. More people work on Saturdays than Sundays. My niece had a dance competition on Saturday. You don’t think all that combined would hurt viewership?

Game doesn’t start until 5:30. Plenty of time to get your **** done before then.

My kids have had soccer and basketball on Sunday's. What's your point?

yeah, because bowl games are all on Saturday arent they?

 

[dualthreat]

Like 7pm Saturday night? I don't see why they couldn't give it a try

 

[Stewo]

Saturday evening would be great. As someone else mentioned, the CFB championship should be on a Saturday night as well.

Game ends at 9pm on Sunday. Get your ass home and get to bed by 10 to go to work Monday.

 

[RonBurgundy]

I prefer it remain on Sunday and we get a new federal holiday on Monday. Truly only in America.
