Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1476893, member: 716"] Looking at start times from the past 20 years, those have really fallen out of favor: 1 in 1999, 2 in 2001 and 2002, 3 in 2003, 1 in 2004, 2 in 2005, 1 in 2006, none since. Anyway, we've averaged about 2.5 noon/12:30 home kickoffs each season since 1996. Looks like we're ahead of pace this year. Upperdeck is right that we had our fair share of nooners in the late '90s, but they've increased in recent seasons (at least 3 every season but two since 2003; as many as three only twice in the 7 years before that). And while we'd play night home games at least twice a year in the late '90s, our only primetime opportunities these days come on Thursdays and Fridays. All of that, in my opinion, contributes to lower attendance. [/QUOTE]
