[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 480901, member: 1045"] I decided to take a look at the potential impact of start time for home games in recent years on our record and on attendance. I looked at 2014 - the present, which starts with Tech coming off of an average 7-6 season and includes some good (2014, 2016) and bad years (2015, 2017, 2018). Here is what I found: Since 2014, we have had the following start times for Saturday games: [B]20[/B] games with noon/12:30 start times [B]4[/B] games with 3:30 start times [B]3[/B] games with 7:30 start times [B]3[/B] Thursday night games That in and of itself is a bit staggering! [U]Attendance:[/U] 12/12:30 - average 46.3k (removing UGA games, average 45.2k) 3:30 - average 49.6k Thursday Night - 50.5k 7:30 - average 50.7k Seems like a clear trend that attendance does better 7:30 > 3:30 > noon. [U]P5 Record:[/U] 12/12:30 - 7-6 3:30 - 1-2 Thursday night - 1-2 7:30 - 3-0 Honestly, with such extreme data, I am not sure the records can even be compared, but it is notable that we won all three Saturday night games, including wins over Miami and FSU. [U]Some Interesting Notes:[/U] Clemson - noon (2014) - 49k Clemson - 3.30 (2018) - 50.5k Clemson - 7:30 (Thursday night 2016) - 54k Alcorn - noon (2018) - 39.7k Alcorn - 7:30 (Thursday night 2015) - 49.2k UVA - noon (2016) = 42.1k UVA - 3:30 (2014) - 46.6k [/QUOTE]
