Why is the spring game on a Friday?

To be honest, I'm glad it's Friday… Because that way I can do all of the fun stuff for Rutgers day tomorrow.
And also it's on TV!
The game is on a Friday night because the BTN wants to televise it live. They requested it and we obliged. All the other B1G schools have their spring game on the BTN.
At the Pro Day Flood said it was his decision alone. He said it was so families could go without having to miss other Saturday activities such as LL. Take that for what it's worth.
My memory may be failing me,but didn't we have a Spring Game on a Sunday afternoon years ago (before the crowds got big)

I missed that. I was just echoing popular opinion that the BTN asked and we obliged. KF may have been acting stately.
Because Rutgers Day already has too many things to do packed into a 6-hour time frame. It wasn't a great idea to throw in the spring game at 3 pm, no less.
Ideally, Rutgers Day evening probably would be the best time, but other schools play their games that day, too (BTN is televising 3 games tomorrow).

I thought It was a good idea to have it on a Friday. I'm assuming that most Rutgers fans don't travel as far as the larger state schools in the big and they pretty much monopolized viewership , so it was good live exposure to recruits . I thought they ran they ran the thing pretty well.
Speaking of the Spring Game, how many of you remember the game in the Shea era when a bunch of RU FB alums won the game.
It was going to be Monday night football with a Howard Cosell impersonator. But the B1G said no.
Tonight the crowd is going wild inside high point solutions stadium........

Love the B1G but RU has to put foot down a little bit. November Homecoming was ridiculous and Spring Game festivities during rush hour was not the wisest move. In both situations a real possibility of bad weather, and low and behold, we got bad weather for both and it really undercut attendence. Not complaining just the facts.
Homecoming weather was bad luck. Te Friday spring gane was the head coach's call, per the head coach
Lmfao.
Late April guys. Weather was a freak occurance.
And I really can't stand the pretentiousness of acting like the Friday night game was the most blatantly dumb thing ever. Many people like the idea. Just BC you prefer it in the middle of Rutgers day BC it works for YOU, does not mean it was horrible for everyone else. Many people showed up so couldn't have been that bad. You act as if Saturdays can't be busy for people or that Rutgers day wouldn't have caused traffic too. Get over yourselves.
