Chief Dick Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I understand why they did it. But my experience with trying to plan things around a weather report a cpl days in advance hasn't gone well. The storm will either miss KC altogether, end Saturday night or end sometime Monday.

stevegrab Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 well, I have to be to work early Monday morning and live in EST so I'd say it's Cleveland level suckinessEarlier 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
