(Special thanks to TacklingDummy for this idea.)
As the song goes, one thing leads to another.
I love the idea. The NFL has been doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Ratings go up, then they go down, then they go up, then they go down. Super Bowl Sunday is like a Yo-yo and they keep walking the dog.
People get tired on Sundays after 9:00 pm.
Our, "body clocks," start to wind down to get ready for Monday morning and we pass out on the couch as a natural result. I can't make it past the 3rd quarter of the Sunday Night Football game to save my football loving soul.
Recent Super Bowls have been very close and exciting, but nothing stops the yawn on Sunday evenings, especially after a full day of eating and drinking.
After ingesting half a pizza, wings, chips, dip, homemade soup, cookies, and an 18 pack...the last thing I want to do is wake up and go to work the next day. Wouldn't, "Super Bowl Saturday," be better for everyone?
It does not take a sales study to know that when Halloween, Christmas and New Year's Eve falls on a Saturday, people tend to spend more money than any other day of the week.
Pros and Cons.
Pros - More viewership. More fan friendly. More business friendly. More party friendly.
Cons - Tradition and nostalgia.
