[NU Sports] Saturdays at Dyche Stadium

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Not sure if it was Labor Day weekend (probably was) but you're probably thinking of our Big Ten opener vs. Northern Illinois that Thursday night.

That seemed like more of a nightmare to get to traffic wise than a Saturday game and the attendance wasn't too high, if I remember. Most people still had to work Friday, so I'm not sure we'd benefit from a Sunday or Monday day game (or Friday/Sunday evening game since they have those) on Labor Day weekend. With the NFL usually opening the week after Labor Day, it's a good time to play around with college scheduling a bit to get more fans in the stands and more TV exposure. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

GO CATS!!!
