So much for those 6:35 start times

[Sports Guy]

Thought this was a good idea but I’m sure sponsors felt differently.

I'm still eating dinner at 6:30 so I'm in favor of keeping the 7pm start times.

Bummer.

I am a fan of the 6:35 start time more for in-person attendance than watching on tv, especially in April when it can be quite cold when the sun goes down. This definitely lowers the chances of me going to a mid-week evening game in April. At least there are afternoon games on April 15th and 29th.

My guess is that with limited attendance this season, tv took priority.

I’m more likely to watch a whole game if it starts earlier but I guess less likely to watch the beginning. Was looking forward to early starts for in person as well.

I hated the idea even without covid so this is good.

Agree. Has to be about TV revenue.
