I really hate the different start times, pick 1 time and use it for all games.
-
An improvment, but still need to get those night games increased. Shoulkd have a better student turnout and general fan turn out.
-
Agreed, more night games!

I remain convinced that we should play all of our games at 7:00. That accommodates people who work on Saturdays. It makes it easier for parents who have youth activities during the day. It also helps folks who just need to spend Saturday working on household chores.
7:00 starts would end about 9:45; still plenty of time for people to go out on the town. For college students, 9:45 on Saturday is just the beginning of their evening.
Some will suggest that it gets too cold late in the year. True, but the last playoff games were at night for tv, well attended, and I remember that at least the James Madison game was quite cold. Anyway, our afternoon games in November have been a disaster at the gate recently, so why not try something different?
This is what frustrates me. We cling to formulas that don't work and seem afraid or too lazy to innovate. Play a full year's schedule at 7:00 and see what happens.

Love YSU......but like 90% of Ohio residents.......I will watch the Buckeyes first......a Notre Dame game second......other Big TEN rival games 3rd.......and the great SEC game of the day,
BEFORE I would even think to to go downtown and miss any of those games mentioned.
An 8PM night game every Saturday, could make it possible for me to have the "Guins" be my nightcap.
Now if only their concession staff could "smile" once in a while!!!
And can't we get that menu expanded just a tad ?
It's a very weak and un-cordial menu and staff.
They are like the Jerry Seinfield "Soup Nazi" guy........take it (our limited menu and cold hot dogs)....or leave it.
(a "perk" for working for the "state".....allows one to be un-socialable.....and to keep your job, just as as long as you don't go "POSTAL" on someone. That PC mindset.....needs to change in the food delivery at YSU.
That's no way to run a run a business. Especially when you have great Italian restaurants around the area that can supply great food that are just few blocks away.
Want great "football" food.....?......go to a game at Fitch or Lowellville.......30 choices.....and all are great and HOT.
How can a couple HS's.....provide better food than a D1 college??
-
College football games should all start at 1:00 PM. High School games should be played at night.
-
No lol, all college games should be played under the lights

I believe some of the visting teams negotiate the starting time as part of the deal to come here.
