Super Bowl Saturday?

I really can't think of a reason to keep it on Sunday. Typically, football is kinda hangover medicine during the regular season. Wake up Sunday, turn on the TV at 1, turn it off at 10. The Super Bowl is a different story!

The big downside for the NFL is the host city loses 1 day of huge revenues.

OK, the only thing I am worried about is that that prick will sit there on that show and gloat for two hours about how his idea saved football.

niiiice....agree, still like the saturday idea, don't care if it was cowturds or not....

super bowl monday should just be a national holiday:food-smil


Yeah but moving it to Saturday sounds like a great idea.

Thank god I read through this thread because I was going to post the same thing lol. HTTR.

As I understand it, a big issue is all the corporate/sponsor events (read: parties) that are held on Saturday night prior to the big game. Also, what Daseal said about the city's losses

Only two problems:

1) My wife makes a scene about Saturday night football.

2) The teams only have 13 days to prepare.

Daseal/Smootsmack:

You have identified the reasons that the game will probably stay on Sunday. Let's look at the "balance of power" here:

On one side, you have big time corporate sponsors who want to have their shindigs on Saturday night and the host cities who want to have fans - and those corporate sponsors - spending money in the host cities for the maximum amount of time.


On the other side, you have a host of fans who got themselves hammered watching the game and have difficulty getting to work the next day.


Let's try to guess which side of the see-saw the NFL is going to come down on...

great post. plus, "super bowl saturday" just doesn't sound as cool

Super bowl has to be on Sunday...what needs to happen is that the US Government needs to move either MLK day or Presidents Day to the first Monday in February. Those 2 holidays fall about two weeks before and after the super bowl every year so I don't see the big deal in moving one of them. Then it's up to the NFL to make sure the Super Bowl alwasy falls on the 1st Sunday in Feb.

Yeah but moving it to Saturday sounds like a great idea.Why not push the schedule back so the Super Bowl is MLK weekend?

There is a petition somewhere online to make Super Bowl Monday a holiday. I signed it, would love to see it happen.

That would be cool! Maybe we could put up a Super Bowl tree or hang helmets instead of stockings...LOL!

Seriously, I'm all for moving the big game to Saturday or having a holiday the day after.
