Because people pay a premium for opening day, so if there's a rainout they can reschedule the next day and the same people can attend.
Which, as Ive said before, is another reason it's stupid to have opening day on a Thursday and then take a Friday off. The traditional Monday worked because...

Death, taxes, and Nebraska losing in the NCAA tournament are the only certainties in life.
Might not be true any longer now that the power conferences have expanded so much, but pretty sure they're still the only power conference school (SEC, ACC, PAC, BIG 10, BIG 12, BIG EAST) to have...Last edited by unofan; 03-22-2024, 08:41 PM.

I had Duquesne but not Michigan State. Creighton's gonna win relatively easily but talk about a sloppy game. They'll need more focus Saturday to get to the sweet 16....

Dartmouth still being alive and UNH not makes me very happy given the trolls on this board. If Dartmouth somehow gets 2 Ws this coming weekend to make the NCAAs for the first time in 35 years... well, that would be something.

And if moderators on certain boards spent more time combatting obvious trolls rather than killing links to websites, what a wonderful world it would be. But alas, we can't have everything in this life, can we?...

Kepler,
I had a flight credit to use up before it expired, so I'm going to NYC for a long weekend in May. Planning to go to a Mets game while I'm out there to knock another stadium off the list. Any preferences for where in the stadium to aim for ticket wise? One side have a better view...
