That is the biggie.  The night games are premium in the view of fans.  It isn't easy for fans to start changing airline tickets, hotel reservations, and possibly vacation time.  It's bad enough switching a day Sunday game to a night game, but not all that hard. I suppose there are a few dummies who flew in to watch the game then fly out the same night.  The same with people who drove a fair amount of distance, but that isn't impossible to remedy except for a small few.

Here is a travel tip:  Don't prepay your room to save $15.  Leave open the option to cancel the room.  If that $15 is that important to you, you probably don't need to be going in the first place.

$15 is the equivalent of 1.17 beers in Cleveland Browns Stadium ?

Sadly, it makes sense...competition-wise (and ratings-wise).  But fans who bought tickets and made travel plans are screwed however.
