Change in East Semi-Final Game Time

For the semi final - Two kids under 12 ifree with each adult ticket. This is great to see!

I'm glad for the time change. We'll be able to get home in time to offer the kids the traditional choice of a full size chocolate bar, or a potato. (Last year, 40% took the potato.)

I have no issues with the time change (not that my street is busy for Halloween).

I like the earlier start time to be honest I never liked when they went away from that time a few years ago

Just like the good old days Angelo, I hope this is a permanent solution.

Only if they go back to Sundays. I miss a good early Sunday game

Nothing like celebrating a huge victory by getting ready for work the next day!

Growing up, I associated the CFL with Saturdays and Sundays in the fall.

Growing up, I associated the CFL with Saturdays and Sundays in the fall.

I don't know how it would be now, but I always believed that NFL doesn't really affect CFL crowds negatively for Sunday afternoon games. You don't have to be watching to bet, and let's be honest, that is the real appeal for a lot of NFL only fans. I really believe it has more to do with TSN wanting to control all the football broadcasts in this country that Sunday games are no longer a thing. I am a Bills fan, but would always choose a live Argos game over a game I can record and come home and watch later.

With TSN controlling televised football in Canada, they don't want to dilute any of their games, and there are fans that watch both, and they probably want to grow both audiences for CFL and NFL. They should eventually move the Grey Cup to Saturday night to maximize audience, although hockey would encroach on that too. With Grey Cup kickoff 6:37 pm on Sunday, you have 1.5 hours until NFL evening game, 4 pm games are mostly over, no Canadian hockey to worry about. Alot of NFL viewers probably watch some of Grey Cup that day.
