I'm convinced in the coming years our games will switch to 7:30 starts. The dilemma though is do we have a late-arriving crowd because of worsening traffic problems that can be helped by starting games at 7:30, or is it more because of people pre-gaming on Broadway who are content with just getting there not terribly late? They'll be arriving late no matter when the games start.
I think it is people getting food, plus traffic. The sad thing is the traffic situation (Downtown at least) could be partly fixed if they would just sync the stupid lights. They are currently setup to create traffic. I work downtown and get off at 3:30 and there are a handful of days every few months where I catch every light green rather than the normal get stopped by every single light and when I catch them green I get home 20 minutes sooner and my commute is only 7 miles. It is sad that it takes me longer to cross the Cumberland river than it does to drive from the river home.
Also on the Broadway people....I have had several co-workers and friends who won't show up until the 2nd because they won't go out to eat until 6:30 when the game starts at 7.
