CyI was wondering this morning why the NFL doesn't play the Super Bowl on Saturday night rather than Sunday night.
There are plenty of people on the east coast who turn off the game before it is over because it runs so late. Plenty of people over do the partying and have trouble going to work/school the next day. An extra day would help their productivity.
Since both teams get two weeks to prepare anyway, playing one day earlier wouldn't matter to the two teams. And this would probably also add to their revenues since more people would stay up and watch more of the game. Why not play the game Saturday night and make it easier for everyone?
