Agreed on 7:30pm during the week, definitely makes the most sense considering how far we're hoping fans will travel. As for Saturday times I think 2pm is just too early for most fans (except students of course). A 4pm start time would allow for fans to do their errands and studying during the day, finish the afternoon off with a game, and still get out to the restaurants and/or downtown. A 7pm start on a Saturday night would be good for a few big games that we are hoping to turn into really big marketable events (complete with dinner and reception packages) and perhaps even TV coverage. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: RC74 's message, "I've been advocating a later start for years. Even 7:15 would make a difference for some. But 7:30 makes the most sense. Also I'd like to see Saturday afternoon games start anywhere from 2 to 4; it would allow people more time to do other things early in the day and plan a dinner out afterward." on Tue April 26, 2005 13:06:33
