This thread looks interesting so far. Just a few things I'd like to raise regarding this issue:
1) Do you think that Monday Night games are played too early? Would you like to see the kickoff move back to about 7:20-7:30pm? Personally, I think 7pm is a bit early, especially if the game is held in an area where public transport and heavy traffic are obstacles for people.
2) I think if Monday Night Football is scrapped in favour of a Sunday twilight/evening game, that could have some potential. The Sunday game could kickoff at either 6pm or 6:30pm, which would mean that the game would finish early enough for the kids and other people who have an issue with waking up early the next morning. 6:30pm offers more potential for a FTA network. For Fox, a 6:30pm kickoff also allows for half-hour pre-game show at 6pm (after the conclusion of the Ch9 4pm game, which I still believe Ch9 should show live rather than delayed after all these years), so for me, 6:30pm would be more ideal, meaning the game would finish at approximately 8:15pm. For the first three rounds of the season during DST it would still be daylight for at least the first half of the game.
3) I was also wondering of what you guys would think about Thursday Night Football? I guess The Footy Show wouldn't be too pleased with that (as it overlaps into their show, but I can guarantee you that the game would rate more than the ratings Sydney and Brisbane have been receiving in the first two weeks of the Footy Show), but how do you think Thursday Night Football would be received compared to Monday Night Football?
