Exactly.  I don't think there are enough fans in CNY to sell out the Carrier Dome consistently, which means they need to market to Binghamton/Rochester/Utica/and maybe Albany to get sufficient numbers of people coming to the Dome.  Having Friday night or Thursday night games make it hard to market to those fans, which means they are less likely to come to games at all.

What I fear will happen is that the Friday night games will be "events" that all the bandwagon CNY fans show up for...then when they're playing Eastern Michigan on a Saturday those fans will disappear, the ones from out-of-town won't bother to come...and they'll have created a hell of a marketing challenge to overcome.   In the end I think this approach puts pressure on the local fans to do something they have NEVER done - show up for a non-event game like a MAC opponent on a Saturday at noon.  If they actually choose to go to a game and put off raking leaves until Sunday, this approach will be a spectacular success.  If those leaves gotta get raked up on Saturday at noon...not so much.
