Another Problem

[redmen85]

The 8A game wrapped up at about 11:45.
With the wing-T having been retired (apologies to JCA fans) this trend will most likely continue.
Are teams and fans arriving back in Chicagoland at 2 or 3 am what the IHSA wants?

There were 23 ACCEPTED penalties in the 7A game and 15 kickoffs. This was an abnormal situation

The 6a game started 20min late and had 16 penalties and 13 kickoff. It all kind of snowballed into that 8a game.

Competitive games also make the clock move faster. PAT's, KO's, penalties and incompletions (being down) lead to longer games, no?

I never watched the 8a game. I feel asleep.

Don't know how to get around the midnight finish unless games begin at 8am.

I think they have been able to avoid it generally. The latest start time for an 8a game was 8:11pm prior to yesterday.

There is no chance they’d split the staff (or less chance - double the staff) to accommodate two sites in one weekend. Nor would the TV accommodate this.

Yea. Two weekends would be a stretch. But two sites would be an absolute non starter.

I like it except for how it would impact attendance

also dont forget 8 man which I'm guessing will be an IHSA sports in a year or two at the latest.....so your looking at 3/3/3 and potentially girls flag?
