Ohh and when did we start classifying February 7 as "mid-February"?
This would be a nightmare scenario for the restaurant industry.
Exactly, 100% correct. You beat me to the punch. The goal is to have the game on the most TVs possible. The networks and advertisers would be most pleased if every person watched alone on his/her own television. More TVs tuned in equals higher ratings equals more revenue. Sunday night is the evening most people stay home and having the game on Sunday night in the dead of winter means even more people stay home.Guys (and gals),
It will NEVER be on a Saturday night for one reason - TV RATINGS.
Here's why, saturday nights you'd have the chance for more people to get together and watch - more so than on sunday nights. You'd have more people out at bars and such and the league and the TV networks don't want that.
It's just like the NFL telling the Saints they can't have a super bowl viewing party at the Superdome as they have requested.
More TV sets will be tuned in across the country/world on a sunday than they will on a saturday night. The NFL loves the fact that each year the SB is the most watched program in television that year. It would still be on a saturday night but the 70-60 share's would not be as common and the NFL loves to boast those figures.
2.) Create National Holiday Monday after Superbowl ---------
There's a reason for that.It seems like every year this topic comes up around Super Bowl time and is then forgotten.
Guinness, eggs and lo mein?I'll be watching it at the corner Irish bar here at 7 AM Monday morning. Luckily that's the time I normally start drinking anyway.
Im going snowboarding Friday @ shawnee in the Poconos so this is great for me hahaThis weekend may be a nightmare scenario for the restaurant industry. They are predicting a monstrous Nor'easter, "potentially paralyzing" according to Accuweather for the Mid-Atlantic, starting Friday night with it snowing until Sunday accumulation of a foot plus. If it is a monster storm, all those businesses that depend on people driving there or getting food delivered are up the creek. The local city bar or restaurant where people can walk to won't feel it but suburban locales will be hurt. They won't get it cleaned up by Sun kickoff and it has to hurt their bottom line.
Guinness, eggs and lo mein?
Will never happen and for a reason....
Another day in the SB city means another day of revenue for the city who hosts it and more money for the league,take away one day and you take away 10s of millions in merchandise sales in that city.
Forget it,ain't happening...ever
I understand what people are thinking, have it sat, and veg on sunday... But some people do work on weekends as well... Im a traditonalist... Keep it on sunday... One of the few football traditions we have left..
