Glad they're experimenting with 4:00 starts, allowing for morning golf and students sleeping in, and more tailgating. We'll see if it helps attendance, though it means tape highlights won't make the 6:00 news.

i like it to, but i wonder how its gonna effect the October and Novembers games with the weather. The Hofstra game at 6 pm on the 10th of September will be fine since the weather will be still 60's...but i dont know about those late season games.

Only the second half of the Robert Morris game will start after sundown, and the bleachers are in the shade anyway, so you're only talking about the difference between 3:30 and 6:30 - day-to-day weather changes will have more effect than the 3-hour change of starting time. I've been to windy 38-degree games in early October and 60-degree games in November, so the maybe 8-degree drop by 7:00 isn't that big a deal.

NO one ever really wants to admit it, but tailgating has become part of football culture, and making more tailgating available will increase attendance (all other things being equal).
