I’ve watched LSU play regionals for a long time. I’ve seen them do both. I’ve seen weather delays under both scenarios. No, I don’t think it’s made a difference one way or the other. You can get screwed either way. Your problem with the night game is weather pushing the finish to the next day. They don’t make them play until 2am.

Again, I get the logic. It’s just not ideal for the reasons stated.

“Why would we give up the revenue from playing the later game where we draw more fans?”

I don’t recall the team ever losing due to being “tired” from a weather delay.


If you play the second game you are greatly increasing the chance that it’s not played until day 2 and you would have to olay two games on day while the teams that played in game one would only have to play one.

The idea of playing game one is to take that completely out of play.

Cowl I still expect a huge crowd as many fans will take Friday pm off if there’s a conflict.

Do you not see how that might increase the liklihood of fatigue?
It's baseball, not basketball, football or the like.
