SuperBowl Sunday or SuperBowl Saturday? (1 Viewer)

Sat or Sun?

too

I don't see why the NFL doesn't move it to Saturday. More people on the east coast would be able to stay up longer to watch the game and the advertising execs will only benefit. I say make it happen

Even though we football fans think Saturday would provide better ratings, I do not know if that is true. Really no way to tell. But, if Saturday nights are better, then why does the NCAA play the basketball national championship game on Monday night? Yes, the semis are played on Saturday, but they could work that out if they wanted on Thursday or Friday.

The game is the highest-rated event of the year. Like a trillion people watch it. Why would they mess with it?

To make it even better.

I think they understand what they're doing.

Monday after SB = Federal Holiday.

Good bosses will give their employees the day off.

Only in America, but this should be a holiday. Let's get real people. 90+Million are watching this (plus whatever schill show comes on afterward).BTW - Saturday is a "party" day and Friday / Saturday shows get killed in ratings most times. That's why you'll often see more cutting edge shows on those nights as TV execs can say "what the hell, give it a Saturday spot - who cares if they watch." Twin Peaks comes to mind.

I always give myself that day off.

I would like to see it on a Saturday. But one cannot argue that is a great weekend for sports enthusiasts. UFC ppv on Saturday, SuperBowl on Sunday, I just may spend Monday looking for a new liver.

It's Super Bowl Sunday, not Super Bowl any other day of the week. Changing it would be blasphemous.

And the game is over by 10:30 on the East Coast. If you can't stay up until midnight on a school night, you're not old enough to watch football anyway.

A trillion people will watch it whether it's on a Sat or a Sun. Those with young kids are forced to leave the parties they're at at halftime to get them to bed. Getting a babysitter on SB Sunday is as easy as getting one on New Year's eve.

come on now, you think people are actually worried about bed time? its over around 10 or so on the east coast I would think, thast not very late imo...having it on sunday doesnt screw anyones weekend plans up, most people are at home come 5 oclock on sunday from whatever they are doing on the weekend. I like sunday myself....

 

[Borat]

Keep it on Sunday. No one expects you to be 100% at work the next day anyway.

A Saturday game might even increase international viewership, since it will be on early Sunday for Asia and Australia.
