Tip-off Time for Home Games

[UNTX]

Seem like I remember that our home basketball games used to always start at 7:35, or at least they did for a while. For the last couple of years, maybe longer, they've been at 7:00. Why was this changed? At any rate, I really wish they would push them back to 7:30 because it really is difficult to make it up there in time for a game when you work deep into Dallas and have to fight traffic, and try to leave work early in order to catch the game without missing any of it.

I'm certainly not going to miss TCU tomorrow night, but it will be difficult for me to make many other weekday games, and I imagine others have the same problem. That extra 30 minutes would make all of the difference in the world.

No one had an answer last year when someone brought this up. I still don't, but that doesn't mean much.

I figure there is something behind it though...

That is the reason I am not a season ticket holder. Except for TCU, I only bought the Saturday games. The only reason I did that was the difficulty in working a full business day and getting from central Dallas to Denton in time for the tipoff. The stress of getting there ruins the game for me anyway. The extra half hour DOES make all the difference in the world.

Maybe this should be a question for "Ask the AD". I am sure RV would listen, give an explanation for the early game times, or even consider a change if he thought it would help attendance.
