Will be at home opener... please be a night game. Would love to not have to deal w/ early Sept. heat!
When do the scheduled game times get released?

I can't remember the last time the home opener wasn't a night game, I think you can rest easy there.

I also can't remember the last time we had a decent team for our home opener :-)

I think given last season's results I will choose to stick with the current scheduling formula.

ditto. I have an absolute blast at the home opener, it's sad for fans that can't enjoy it. they're entitled to their opinion, it just sucks for them. It's a great day to tailgate.

A number of people I spoke with on Godwin Field a few years ago complained about the 6 pm start to me. I am assuming these same people complained in their surveys too. A 4 pm start allows these folks to drive home Saturday and not have the hotel expense.

My kids always enjoyed them.

There is a lesson here. Dont get old, plus 6pm = longer for tailgate.

The home opener the week before there already is an incentive to come- its the home opener. Need an extra incentive for people to come to that 2nd home OOC cupcake game..
