So this is why the administrators created a "vote down" button... You really think the spawn of USC and ND fans are somehow hardier because their fans don't care as much about attending games with their family?
I recognize your post was tongue in cheek, but the frank reality is that I have season tickets in part as a designated family activity. But a 7:30PM kick off time is not conducive to that, and I will reserve the right to bitch about it. But aside from being a loss from a family fan experience, I think it hurts the team's national exposure as 80% of folks on the eastern seaboard are asleep by kickoff. And if the team weren't the "in" thing to do for students right now, it would also kill student participation as they'd all be at pre-parties at 8pm on a saturday night, rather than the stadium. The late kick off does virtually nothing positive for the game attending fan.
