We spoke of start times and travel/cost savings on this board last week.

This Saturday brings up an interesting scheduling quirk for Union.  The Dutchmen will be hosting the 'Bizarroneers' at Frank Bailey at 6:00pm.  Outside of JV games, U89 can never remember the Dutchmen playing under the lights at home.  Union has 5 home dates in '09 and this is the only contest which doesn't start at noon or 2pm.

Not a big deal, but this very odd start time at Bailey Field has U89 wondering about the reasoning.

Are you making it to Shocktown for the game U89? Hope your continuing to feel better dude.

The recovery is pretty slow.  U89 is hoping to make Shoezapalooza IV

Union89 we actually played under the lights at FB against springfield back in 06'.  (10-0) yr

Becoming more the norm given the cost cuts, etc.  Not sure why they elected to kick-off at 6 vs. 2 pm given Worcester is only 3 hours away?

I don't know how much Union makes at ticket sales, but I have seen how night games has increased gate reciepts at high school games (sometimes 10x).  I wonder if it does the same for d3 college games?

seeing more night games because of the other sports played on the multi purpose fields (plastic grass)??

[Union23]

actually it does...for d3 schools where it is difficult to get student body support at 1pm on a saturday. A Sat night game is def only used to attract more student body to the game and in turn more ticket sales.

1983 vs. Albany 7:30 p.m. start. They moved it because they expected a large crowd, and the place was packed, couldn't see grass anywhere. Which meant about 4,000 people, but even still, it was a crazy atmosphere, very cool. As opposed to the 1985 game vs. Colby, which was played on Sunday morning due to a hurricane/ noreaster, which was attended by, oh, I don't know, about 12 people.

But you're right, I can only recall two in 25 years, always surprised they didn't do more, I mean, what else is there to do in Schenectady?

[Garnet]

The game is scheduled for 6pm because it makes more sense to Bring  A Child to a Game at 6pm not at 1pm.


NCAA TAKE A KID TO THE GAME DAY
For the October 3 home game against WPI, all children 12 and under are admitted free with a paid adult admission.

Thx......do you remember if there was a reason for the start time of that game?  I seem to remember someone or something was being acknowledged at that game.

Garnet....wouldn't it make more sense to start the game at 1pm for 'Bring A Child to a Game'?  Also, this is not the 1st year of this promotion, but the 1st time they are starting it at 6pm.
