Would it really. I would think the Super Bowl is a big enough event that people are still going to plan around the game. I may be wrong though.
I thought about this too. Most people are going to watch the Super Bowl regardless of the day it airs. My guess is that if you put it on Sunday night you will also get the rest of folks who may just be looking for something to watch on Sunday night.

What’s more stupider?
The super bowl on a Sunday?
Or the CFB national championship on a Monday?
Both are pretty ignant in my opinion

Maybe the dumbasses have never gotten a good answer. Do you have one?
Yeah, it's for ratings which translates to advertising money. It's not some difficult conspiracy to figure out

If my team isn't playing in it, I'm not going to structure my Saturday around a single football game. Especially if the weather is nice. I'm pretty much hanging around the house every Sunday evening so it will at least be on in the background

Ok. So Sunday at 5:30 CST is the most optimal time for ratings? I have no idea if it is or isn't. And neither did the OP apparently when he asked this question.

You say this as if I tried to make it such.

The clown explained this a few years ago..
quote:
"That [idea] has been around for a long time, people have talked about that," Goodell said of moving the Super Bowl to a Saturday. "The reason we haven't done it in the past is simply just from an audience standpoint. The audiences on Sunday night are so much larger. Fans want to have the best opportunity to be able to see the game and we want to give that to them, so Sunday night is a better night."
However.....
quote:
That being said, if there's one solution that could make everyone happy, it's putting the game on the Sunday before Presidents Day. Most people have that Monday off, so you get all the fun of a Saturday night Super Bowl, but with the game being played on a Sunday. Although it's unlikely this would happen under the NFL's current format -- because it would mean starting the season two weeks later -- the Presidents Day weekend Super Bowl could be possible if the league ever decides to extend the regular season to 18 games or if a second bye was added to the regular season schedule.

yes, if anyone curious of the answer would google it, the entire first page is articles explaining it's due to audience exposures and ratings

BUT, Mr. Smart Gut, how do they knooow that the ratings would not be just as good on Saturday? They've never even tried it. It may be that they actually improve!

Because when the NC being played its usually the first round of the NFL playoffs so it sort of fills the sport for MNF, which has high ratings.
Bettors who have a bad weekend will try to make it up on the Monday night game, bettors who won big will put some winnings on the game so there is a lot of interest in the monday night game.
