Why did people used to get super pumped about night games?


Oct 1, 2021, 3:45 PM

And now everyone complains about night games?

Back in 2011 everyone really wanted night games and less nooners. Now in 2021, people use the night game excuse as to why nobody is going and why the atmosphere will suck.


Night game in Death Valley is absolutely electric.

At night games, I just get too drunk. It's not really as

safe to drive after about 20 beers as it is after about 12. That's why I prefer day games, so that everyone can be safe.

I haven't noticed a change in fans?


Oct 1, 2021, 3:50 PM

There are people who love night games and some that don't. Overall I'd say people are excited about night games. How is it you're forming your opinion?

I can tell you why, because people’s who were coming to day games,
Was regular fans for years , and you change to night games.
That the reason, some people’s do not like the night games, a lot of the
People’s would like to get back to day games, there are a lot people’s who
Are up in age who don’t stay out that late ,like the
Young people’s do. Some of the older people’s can't stay up that late. So they
Are quit coming to the games, and watching it on TV, You need to get back
To day games, I really think that would help the sale of tickets, you are having too many night games. It would not hurt Y’all having day games too.

Some of the “new fans” act like night games in The Valley are a tradition.

In fact, we used to NEVER have night games. I remember going to the first one ever in 92 against FSU.
Incredible game, by the way, even though we lost.

Oh I was there. My freshman year.

I was hammered but I recall thinking we had a chance for about 15 minutes.

I was there too. Not an ounce of alcohol in me but that was one heck of a day game. I get the night game attraction I just prefer noon and 3:30 kicks. Midnight is well past my bedtime nowadays

Personally, I live 2 1/2 hours away and I’m a preacher which means I’m up by 6am every Sunday. I will be there tomorrow but will leave at the start of 4th quarter no matter the score. Been doing this for years. I’m in the minority here but noon games are awesome.

understand the stadium had lights many many moons ago, but they were removed when the part above the portals was added. Did not get lights again until the 80's, but I don't think the first night game was until the early 90's this time around.

The biggest games used to be played at night. Now the 3:30 kickoff is the game of the day. So it's maybe a little insulting to be given the prime time slot nowadays.

And then there's the question of how late in the day you can/should keep drinking coffee for a night game. ;)

3:30 is only the prime spot for the SEC on CBS. The 7:30 ABC game is most often the biggest game of the week.

No, night games are still games of the day.***
