prime [time]. Everyone is home.
If Grand Final moved to daytime I'd probably never watch it again unless my team was playing. Not interested in giving up a weekend afternoon.
Think of it as you are investing in a quality afternoon.
Sunday night is prime time but in a normal year, how many people aren’t at home on a Sunday night long weekend? It’s like Saturday night v2.0What ever rates better will always win.
And night always rates better.
And Sunday night is prime. Everyone is home.
Yep, that's my recollection too. And the Bathurst 1000 used to have the Long Weekend to itself but they've moved that since the NRL hijacked the long weekend i thinkWhen did we switch to night Grand Finals ? think it was 2001 and that was also basically when the Grand Final would be played on the long weekend, before that i think most Grand Finals were played the week before the long weekend ( apart from 2000 which was the Olympic year )

Also with the way the climate has been changing, the weather is quite often hot at ANZ during the day on the October long weekend. Of all the GF's I've been to since 2002, the afternoons have usually been so hot inside the stadium you could fry eggs on your seats if you were on the eastern side of the field.
