why is the Gtown game an 11:30 start?

[Newhouser]

Did I miss something?

brunch is at 12:30

I have an appointment at 2:30 on Saturday, so I politely asked the two schools to move the game up.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Because they are merely tenants of a professional
sports stadium that needs time to setup for a hockey game at 7pm Saturday.

FOX has MLS soccer at 4 PM

 

[CuseTroop]

I feel like the last two Gtown games I went to were 11am or 12pm tips. I remember standing outside of Clydes at 7:30am both times.

it gives you time to get home and watch army/navy I guess.

 

[Cuse117]

Because they both stink and no one wants to watch.

Thanks for the insightful commentary that we all come to this board for.

 

[OrangeOnions]

To give my group more time to party in the DC area after we attend the game.

8:30am west coast. There ought to be a law.

As opposed to living in a fantasy world? If both teams were good the game wouldn’t be at 11:30… truth hurts sometimes.

Once again I am so thankful I discovered the ignore button. Nobel prize worthy innovation!

We play Georgetown at noon on Saturdays in DC for forever.

It was a weeknight game (in DC) at times when it was a conference game.

The rent for Georgetown is lower at this time of day, really isn't complicated.

I agree... Georgetown is a low-rent program.

If this specific game was #1 vs. #2, it would probably still be at 11:30 am due to other events happening in the arena that day.

There's a hockey game that night.

You’re not wrong but Michigan Ohio State is played at noon every year.

There's a hockey game that night.

Last time it was an NBA game and our game started at noon. Maybe hockey takes an extra 30 minutes to set up.

I'm sure getting the ice ready is a huge pain.

 

[Dinkyspond]

It's the Saturday CYO sked at St. Mary of the Snow. Small Frys at 9:30am, Tyros at 11:30am followed by girls games at 1:30 and 3:30pm. Only 1 court, gotta get'em all in.

From board scuttlebutt, the start time was not the reason you were outside Clyde's at 0730.

I'm convinced that Georgetown hires actors to fill Capital One Arena for games against us. I've lived in the greater DC area for 15 years and I've never met a Hoya fan.
