Outstate many are still on Friday. Most conferences choose a week to play off of Friday. Metro large schools play 5-6 on Friday night.
The first Thursday is a disaster because of the State Fair and no parking at the Fairgrounds.
Yeah, because 90% of STH have football playing children.
Disaster? Hmm...maybe an inconvenience for those that show up 5 minutes before gametime.
I dunno, we are usually here a few hours before, the Thursday night games and its bad. Also sometimes the Vikings decide to play a preseason game that night, along with Twins doesn't help either.
Throw in the other football team deciding to have a preseason game and then if the Twins are at home......
If the Thursday night game is against a good opponent, it's a disaster. If it's against NMSU or the like, it's do-able. The extra attendance for a good opponent makes a huge difference. For the OSU game we exited 35W 2 hours before kickoff. Tried going to Oak St ramp which was where my parking pass was. Ramp full. Washington also full. Get back into traffic and drive to River Road Ramp (huge line to get in). Finally get in, take the long walk to the stadium, wait in line and just barely made kickoff.
I think historically yes, but its a new world now.
Other than MO’s injury, I thought that game was a lot of fun.
Neither of those has even remotely impacted my ability to get to those games.
Nor me. Plan ahead, be smart and stress levels will go down.
Thanks to Teacher's In School Service Days, they don't.
It's all anarchy now that TV Money runs everything.
Or lack of officials.
I thought it was because of a lack of refs.
Any game played Labor Day Weekend would have that problem.
I've hardly been able to go to any Gopher games the last few years. My son plays football and games for anyone below 9th grade are on Saturdays.
Me neither, but I can see it being a deterrent to some who like the same routine for every game. I miss the opener due to high school games conflicting mostly.
Would anyone know since hardly any kids in Minnesota play high school football anymore. Minnesota has to be one of the worst states for high school football talent and participation per capita.
You truly are one of the worst posters on this board.
Any evidence for this?
MN is 22nd in population so logic says they can't be the worst state in terms of football participation. This shows that MN has a higher participation rate than California, Florida, Georgia and Michigan.
Nebraska message board I'm guessing is his "evidence"
