Is a good crowd expected for Saturday scrimmage.

Let me just ask here, as maybe you have an answer. Why don’t they play this game at 6:00-7:00 pm? I mean, wouldn‘t a Saturday night home game be good for everyone? You could make it a spectacle, a tradition. Be a lot going on down there on a Saturday night. Make tv come to you. I’d think it would be a grand slam, for everyone. Businesses would love it.

I don't understand the 11 a.m. A night game would be cool but the weather can be dicey this time of year and at night it could easily be 25 degrees cooler than say 2 p.m.

I'm guessing it's 100% dictated by tv.

This time of year, a drop in temp might be from 75° to 60°, mostly. Exceptions for sure, but mostly, it’s almost May. Request a night kick off with the TV networks, if they even decide to televise you? It doesn’t make any sense to have that game during the day. I’ve wondered this for years and years.

Huskers have a softball and a baseball game at home Saturday, both of which start in the PM.

It's on the Big Ten network. They probably dictated the time, as Alum mentioned.
