wait, they changed it from a day to night game? Guaranteeing worse driving conditions when people leave the stadium?

The worst part of the storm will happen starting overnight Saturday and tapering off about mid day Sunday. It will be WAY more dangerous to have the game at noon.

well, I have to be to work early Monday morning and live in EST so I'd say it's Cleveland level suckiness

Earlier than other Mondays that follow Sunday football?

 

You know who this would really suck for, out of town fans who had plans to fly home that night, and need to alter those plans.

 

As for relying on long term weather forecasts I hear you, but I'm not making decisions that affect the safety of 10s of thousands either.

well Steve this game is a divisional playoff game involving the Steelers. And since Im in Steelers country, and have friends and family that are Steelers fans that I get together with to get half drunk and watch the game....Yeah, this one is a lil different

 

In Steelers country and friends/family that are Steeler fans, yes that is Browns level suckiness, had a coworker Steeler fan come ove rto gloat over their victory this morning (rarely hear from him all year). I told him they better figure out how to score TDs or they'll get beat by the Pats.

 

Hope you're not too hung over today. Great "early" game, but I was burned out and tired by 11PM barely could make it through the late game.
