They'll start them at 8:30. They start their coverage at 8. I don't mind it at 8 if it really is at 8. Don't lie about it. At least the Super Bowl says coverage begins at certain and kickoff is at another time.-JD Sam G (216): It’s not that they start the final innings at 8. They’ll start them at 8:30.

No public financing. If the billionaire owners/groups can't afford it, then the team should be put up for sale. Any existing open-air stadiums should be given ten years to add a retractable roof if structurally viable. I know it will never happen, but this is total BS. It's bad enough that teams play the vast majority of their games in warm weather only to have playoff games in unfamiliar conditions, but it's even worse when teams are thrown off their schedules due to weather conditions that can last for days. Situtations like this can clearly favor one team for various reasons. Sorry for the rant. I need either a time out or a beer. Maybe I'll do both by having a beer in the corner of the room. Good night, all. Thanks again for the great thread. I always look forward to reading your comments.

Yeah, you forgot about the fans.... hello! But how would the funding be arranged? How would the city be selected? What would happen to the stadium during the other 11 months? How would they sell out 7 games year after year when the natives might get sick of it, disinterested with the NON hometown teams, etc No offense, but come on... Oh come on Annie.
