Why isn't the Super Bowl on Saturday? (1 Viewer)

[Wooderson]

I never understood why the super bowl wouldn't be on Saturday. They have a week off before the game so they have plenty of rest time. I think it would bring in more casual fans cause more people would have parties.

Anyone heard of a reason why the NFL sticks to Sunday?

Because then the city hosting it will lose a day of hotel bookings, spending for local vendors, etc.

Why as why???

Drink Bud dry!

Because then it wouldn't be called Super Bowl SUNDAY

Because then it wouldn't be called Super Bowl SUNDAY

I think that's the main reason. Superbowl Saturday just don't sound right.

 

[ditka85]

Because then millions of Americans couldn't call in "sick" on Monday.

Personally, ever since they moved the SB to February, I've been glad they kept it on a Sunday. My wedding anniversary is on FEB 2 and if the SB ever fell on a Saturday I'd have to miss it. This way, the SB can fall on my anniverary on a Sunday, but it doesn't matter since I'd be celebrating on a Saturday night (the night before) anyway.

Because NFL games are played on sunday (today some on saturday/thursday/monday) but traditionally its sunday afternoon.

This will be my 6th year in a row in Vegas for the Superbowl which helps with enjoying your superbowl until late into the night.

I don't see why you'd have to miss it. Just postpone it by a week instead. Your wife should understand.

Yeah, like the traditional one hour half time Super Bowl lip synch extravaganza, this year with family friendly Prince! Oh wait....Whatever happened to "Hooray For Everything", er, I mean "Up With People" anyway?

We have a group of 8-15 who have been going for 10 years now. We're all Colts fans, so if you get the hankering, come downtown to the Four Queens and look for the BLUE!Go Colts!

 

[Slum Lord]

Its alot easier to plan and have parties on Sunday than Saturday. Get your crap done on Saturday, kick back on Sunday. I wouldnt want it on a Saturday at all.
