I was thinking about this the other day and it has probably been brought up before. Why doesn't BTN go to games at 5 and 7 instead of 6 and 8 for double headers?
If on the road in the Eastern timezone, you would play at 5 (6 local time) allowing those fans to get to the arena roughly an hour after work. If on the road in the Central timezone, games at 7 would allow more time to get to the games for the more "rural" schools with fans that may be travling further away. It also allows all fans to watch games to their completion, especially kids on the East Coast. Might be tough to stay up until 11 pm some nights. Plus, those teams could still host some games at 8 on a rare occasion like we have had to. Move some of the central games to a night with only one game and play at 6:30 or 7.
Thoughts or am I on an island?
