Message: [QUOTE="sufan59, post: 4948967, member: 8789"] Yom Kippur is the one day of the year that many otherwise non observant Jews the other 364 days of the year observe. The way the Jewish calendar works it’s not every year this falls on a Saturday. I don’t know the numbers on the percentage of fans who are Jewish, but can guarantee is well above the percentage of the US population that are Jewish (2.4%). I don’t think the university told the conference absolutely don’t schedule a home game on this day, but strongly put a preference to avoid this day. Along with potentially creating an environment of decreased revenue from ticket sales and concessions. I could imagine there is complications from a gameday operations standpoint of Jewish staff not being able to work. [/QUOTE]
