Earlier Games?

Written by Colin on January 26, 2008 – 8:42 am

So the Braves announced late yesterday that they’ll be moving the start time of weekday games up from 7:35 PM to 7:10 PM. Now, they say that they’ve polled tons of fans - and season ticket holders - and found out that most people want an earlier start time. The theory here is that you can get home from the game earlier and it won’t be as much of an impact on your next day’s activities.

Now some of our staff has a bit of an issue with the earlier start times. Despite being a season ticket owner, Jonathan generally has had trouble making it to the start of games. Earlier games mean it’s more difficult to get there for the start. Charles will likely run into the same issue. Those with later than normal work schedules will find this a bit of a nuisance.

I’m sure it’ll be nice for families and those with kids or have to be at work early - earlier endings will make it easier to attend more games. But for the normal fan, will it help or hurt? Or do you not care?

What are your thoughts? Let us know what you are thinking!
