Rutgers should move game times to 9:30pm. Thanks!

[NickRU714]

7pm sucks.

With 2 kids under 4yo, 7pm - 9:30pm consists of:
Finishing cooking dinner
Feeding kids/cleaning kitchen
Bath
Bed routine
Put one to sleep
Put the other to sleep
Get a text from a friend reminding me the RU game is on and close.

9:30pm would be perfect.
Be able to sit down and watch the game in peace after everyone is asleep.

Hobbs - get on it!

Count me in... I'm on the west coast

 

[FAT MOON]

Or you could DVR the games and watch them once your done.

For those of us who go to the games, no interest in getting home after midnight when I have to work early the next day.

 

[KnightsofChrome]

Sounds like a personal problem, for both of you. I'm fine with the start time.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Count me in... I'm on the west coast

yup. Works for me

 

[superfan01]

930 I won’t go.

 

[wheezer]

nah, it takes me about 45 minutes each way to get to the games...by the time I got home we are talking tomorrow.....

If all the games were that late, I probably would not purchase the number of season tickets I do.

 

[RUPete]

Um, yeah, it just kind of sucks for the people who actually go and buy tickets. But I know you were trying to be funny. Maybe the kids go rogue with no baths on game nights?

 

[gmay8]

I'm in same boat as OP. Obviously he was being sarcastic. But I'm already dreading the dance I will have to do with my 4yo and 2yo tomorrow night at 7pm. I can DVR it and watch after but I like following along on the game thread on this site.

 

[toby83]

Hopefully no ridiculous traffic patterns from those coming from Suttons

 

[littlenis5]

Just no more 6pm games...basically impossible to come from work in the city and be on time

 

[bowlgoal]

Too late for everyone. Kids go to school the next day and parents go to work. You could move to 7:30pm but 9:30pm is not doable during the week. Once in a while is okay but not the normal schedule

 

[bwrlaw]

Bring the kids to the game. My son's first game was at age 5 months. 20 years later he is now a junior and involved with the team as a manager. i probably can count the number of games he missed on my hands.

 

[mikebal9]

How about the players who have class the next day? This is a ridiculous idea.

 

[knights1212]

My son is now 33 and has been attending every home game since he was one. Most of us have had the same problem. The kids grow up fast. The games at 7 or 7:30 PM are perfect for most people. The kids that go with their parent or parents can be home in most cases by 10 PM. I think you just need to dvr the games unless you bring them with you.

 

[BillyC80]

I seem to recall weekday night games were always at 7:30 or 8:00 and then a few year ago they switched to 7:00. Man ever since then it’s always a huge rush to get there on time.

I’d be happy if they just went back to 7:30 starts.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I have Dec. 11 off. Can we move the Wisconsin game to around noon? Let me know.

I agree. The change had everything to do with tv.

Magoo, if they move the game time you won’t have to fight traffic, and you won’t have to honk and yell, “Road hog!”

 

[MV9000]

7:30 is the perfect time. Would not be okay if later unless on the weekend.

 

[Vegas pj]

Sounds like a referral to Child Protective Services is in order. No adult, much less child, should suffer that kid of abuse over the last 29 years. :)

Scheduling time is impacted by tv coverage where there will be a 7pm and 9:15 pm game.

Like any college kid goes to bed before 1am...

 

[RUenvsci]

7pm is a decent time, but but is tough for those of that work in the city. 7:30 would be so much better.

 

[greenknight]

If you stayed single you would not have this problem

 

[BigRnj]

Send the kids to boarding school until they’re old enough to cook, feed themselves, bathe, and care for themselves. What kind of fan are you? :)

 

[Scarlet83]

7pm sucks. BULLSH!T.

With 2 kids under 4yo, 7pm - 9:30pm consists of:
Finishing cooking dinner -TAKEOUT
Feeding kids/cleaning kitchen -MESSY KITCHEN
Bath- DIRTY KIDS
Bed routine - BORING
Put one to sleep - LET THE KID STAY UP!
Put the other to sleep - AGAIN?!?
Get a text from a friend reminding me the RU game is on and close. - BULLSH!T. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE GAME TEXTING YOUR FRIEND.

Class? Lol

 

[rubaseball78]

How about you make it a family event and have the kids watch with you?

Thanks, BTN drives the start time of the game.

I’m with you guys. I’ll be DVR’ing the game so I can watch in peace, but wish I could watch live

 

[littlenis5]

Class? Lol

I’m still laughing about the original comment. We didn’t build a basketball only facility for players to go to bed at 9pm.

agreed, I work in NYC till 530 and won't catch trains till 617 earliest... Won't be home till 715 at the earliest! I can never catch 7pm games other than weekends...
