Makes it really hard to attend games when you don't live close to BWA. Heck, it makes it hard just to watch on TV. SIX of the next 12 are 8:00 pm tip offs.

You must be in the Eastern time zone.  Those tips are at 8:00 Central.

Yeah, the 8:00 tips are killer. More time to get there and don't have to fight the 5:00 traffic in NWA, but you won't be getting home til REAL late.

2/3 of the "Banner games" where they are honoring Corliss, Sidney, and Nolan are during the week and at 8pm and a week apart. They're killing me in Central AR. I can always leave early enough to make a game but these late return departures are hell.

Man, y'all are making me feel old.  I used to turn off the 10:00 PM newscast and watch the replays at 10:30 just so it would feel like a live game.  It worked more times than not back then.

Turning the TV off at 12:30 AM and rolling over to fall asleep is not the same as jumping in the car at 10:45 PM and driving back to Central Arkansas.

Plus, it's not family friendly at all to start a game at 8 on a school night. I know it all boils down to tv AND it doesn't affect out of state people like myself, but I do have kids and know how it is

I do that now. dvr the game, skip the news, and then watch it so I can skip the commercials and half time.  As someone else said though that is a lot different than jumping back in the car when the game ends at 10:15 or 10:30 or later, and driving an hour or two to get home.

People are creatures of habit.  Once you do something that forces a change of habit, you risk not getting them back when/if it gets more convenient.  People that used to go to week games that don't, due to the time change, may find something else they would rather do.  TV money may make the UA not care, if all they worry about is money.

Thanks for your insight.  That never occurred to me.
