Popular Post New York Mick Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2020 I’ve always hated the Super Bowl being played on Sunday since most people needed to work Monday morning and a lot of them would leave the bar after the first half. Now that I’m out of the bar business and I’m working construction hours it makes it for a rough Monday if you’re drinking all night. Some kid started a petition for it to be moved to Saturday. I think it would increase viewing if people could watch it Saturday night instead of Sunday. It would definitely increase bar revenue. I alway thought they should do the same thing for Saint Patrick’s Day. When Paddy’s day fell on a Saturday it was ten times busier. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 When I was working I used to declare it a holiday I called it Super Bowl Monday used a sick day, vacation day or personal day. Helluva streak 35 years. Saturday is a good idea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

static14 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 it would be a good move. Especially since there are all ready games played on Saturdays anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadienJetsFan Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Once they add another game to the schedule, I predict there will be 2 bye weeks per team. Hence you’d have the super bowl on the Sunday before Presidents Day. Hence, everyone is happy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 They won’t give up a dollar in ad revenue all they have to do is move the game to 4:15 on Sunday but even that gives away ratings $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking about people going out to watch a big sporting event as well. The combination of both should be better on Saturday night. At least I’d think it would be.

Jetster Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just don't drink ?. Just kidding. The start time is ridiculous, luckily I'm self employed but the older I get any light night start, TNF, MNF, if the Jets aren't playing I'm falling asleep at halftime anyway.

Sunday night is always the holy grail of TV ratings, that’s why a lot of series like The Sopranos, Game of Thrones also The Oscars, etc, were run on Sunday night. it would be foolish for the NFL to move the Super Bowl to Saturday night.

There is zero chance they move the Super Bowl to Saturday night. It will never happen, nor should it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The problem with moving it - is incentive. It’s already the most watched event on TV every year. It’s a world-wide event. What’s the upside fo the NFL to change anything? So people can get more drunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Every year like clockwork this idea gets pitched about 1-2 weeks before the Super Bowl simply because people want to tie on a good one and expect to be hungover the next day. lol While I certainly wouldn't mind a recovery day after the Super Bowl I like the tradition of the Super Bowl being played on a Sunday. It also gives the NFL that one extra day of hype, attention and (most importantly to them) revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rldev Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Super Bowl Monday is the least productive day of the year in America. I don't think moving to Saturday's would effect anything with television. The Super Bowl is it's own thing. However, it winds up being a day less for everyone and everything involved. A day less for Hotels, a day less for merchandising and vendors, a day less for planning. Add it all up, it will never happen. But I and many would welcome it.

Beerfish Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Much like the college nat champ game, football loses all momentum with that extra week off. Play it on sunday like most games but no extra week off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
