H2o Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Double headers are a bit much on a Monday. I would expect the later games to have a much lower viewership across the east coast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 That will be a hassle for fans who work and/or go to school. You think you have a Sunday game and then all of sudden its switched. Now the work/school thing plays a factor on a Monday. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think you have a Sunday game and then all of sudden its switched. Now the work/school thing plays a factor on a Monday. It has been a hassle for a long time. I know people who scheduled flights for family and game was moved meaning they needed to either pay for changes on all tickets or miss game. Game tickets should be a contract IMO and it is shame that there are fans who say this is fine but complain when players are cut from contracts where they received initial signing bonuses accounting for this to happen. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I’d be OK with a 5 to 6 pm to 830 MFN Game to start the night Just don’t put an East Coast team on at 9 PM West Coat Time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Good for viewership but terrible for fans with tickets to those games and who plan ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the question becomes is there more money in a Sunday Ticket-like package, or just having every game on some network somewhere, even if those games compete?

People in LA are just getting out of work. Even now if working the next day I (and many others) may turn off the TV by 10:30 unless it's a game/team I really want to see I'm guessing they will try to have west coast teams in the late game and east coast teams the early game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL i really dont blame anyone who chose to pass on that game, but i wouldve been there. What was it like -15? But it is true theres always cheap tickets avail close to the game in December.

What was it like -15? But it is true theres always cheap tickets avail close to the game in December. Pretty sure they were referring to the Baltimore home game where the state/county limited attendance to 6k. Other thoughts: The home viewing schedule is disrupted by this move. More so are the fans who attend and may have to make travel arrangements for Monday night, late Sunday night games. A 1 pm game that ends @4:00 pm has much different travel requirements than a game ending @11:00 pm or later for people coming in from Ontario or areas east of Rochester. Even folks in Rochester don't get home until around 1:00 am. This has been covered in the thread above, since we think of games as participants. How does this effect other elements needed for a game? Potential stadium conflicts? Team staff and security schedules. Even more importantly what about local police (City/ Town or County) schedules etc. Not only are the fans attending the game affected, but so are the hundreds of people who are working the games in any capacity. This does not seem well thought out. Edited May 19, 2022 by RocCityRoller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
