I think the SB should be on a Saturday night. More people would watch it, and it would give everybody a day to recover before they go back to work. I wish I knew what national attendance figures for work looked like the day after the SB.

I agree with this and never understood why they won't change it. And the worst thing is that they have the Superbowl late on Sunday.

Five Super Bowl Records that Will Never Be Broken: Fan Reaction - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ycn-10913319)
"There have been many great running backs who have showcased their talents in the Super Bowl. Franco Harris, Emmitt Smith and Marcus Allen have all shone on the biggest stage in the NFL. But no individual rushing performance has topped Timmy Smith's 204 yards in Super Bowl XXII for the Washington Redskins. He is the only person to have more than 200 yards on the ground in a Super Bowl, eclipsing Allen's record of 191 yards set just four years earlier for the Los Angeles Raiders."

+1 on the super bowl needs to be on a Saturday.
Why do they have the damn thing on a work night?
I guess Super Bowl Saturday doesn't have the same ring to it.
I'd definitely love to see it happen. The Monday after the SB is notorious for people calling in sick for work.

Oh boy, that was fun! Thanks for posting! And thank you Dan Reeves for putting your DB's on an island for us. On Smith's TD run, it almost looked like Jacoby did not have anyone to block! Great memory!:cool-smil

Approximately 100 million folks in the US watch the Super Bowl on Sunday night at 6:30 EST every year. So, now many more would watch on Saturday night? Check TV ratings and you will find that Saturday night is not a prime TV slot.
Let's check the arguments you might make to your Congressthing to make Super Bowl Monday a Federal Holiday:
1. I get wasted on Sunday night and I need a day off.
2. "crickets"...
Now there is a motivation for an elected official to start a movement to create another Federal Holiday. Last time I checked, the Hedonism Party in the US did not elect a whole lot of folks to the Congress.
