Rockets seeking opinions on Game Times (7:00pm vs. 7:30pm)

7:30 is a perfect time for me.

 

Hmmm...I don't really have a strong personal preference for either one, but it seems like the logic of switching to 7pm could backfire. I guess I'd just as soon say keep them at 7:30.

 

I would think 7:30.

I know it can make it hard on people living past 1960 to get home from work, change, take care of baby sitters and still make it into Houston by 7pm. I only say this because that was the case a year ago when I was visiting my ex girl friend who is a teacher and she lives just north of 1960. It was everything we could do to get to the TC by tip off.

 

PLEASE NO SOONER THAN 7:30 I would like it to be 8:00.

Other than playoff games the NBA game only last's about two hours and twenty-thirty min.

 

7:30 for goodness sake. how many more empty first halves can we endure?

the amount of people that stick around from downtown is <<<< the amount of people driving in from around town.

 

I live in Austin and watch the games on LP. 7:30 would be groovy. More time to finish dinner before sittin' back and watchin' the Rocks rock and roll.

 

I prefer 7:00. I'd rather get home sooner.

 

7:30. If not, then 8.00.

 

why 7:30??? 7:00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's boring enough to wait 30 minutes for a game!!!

 

Didn't the Astros used to start at 7:30 before Drayton took over? How was the reaction to that?

 

7:05 - better for getting home, more family friendly...and more time for people to hit the bars afterwards.

I work downtown for god sake and I don't want it moved up so why do some of you folks that live or work outside the loop want it moved up.

FYI-BASKETBALL GAMES ARE A PLACE FOR MANY TO BE SEEN.

I go to all the games as a huge fan but many folks just go to go that's why people are late. If we win then all the games will sellout and the no-shows will be limited to just a few dozen and thus the arena will look more packed at the start of the game

 

The games finish before 10 as it is. On weekdays I go to happy hour after the game it may be one drink and then a date with sportcenter for me.

Ya'll act like this is a three and a half hour baseball game come on guys the games finish before 10

 

7:00 for sure. The sooner the games are over, the better. Most of us have to wake up at 6:00 or earlier to go to work, so it would make it easier for me to attend, knowing that I would get back home sooner.

 

I would prefer a 7:00 gametime. I work in downtown and I usually grab dinner/go home before the game just to kill the time after work. I would much prefer heading over at 6:30 to eat at the arena and have the game start soon after than wait around an extra half hour.

 

I work in the Med Center and would love a 7:05 tip off. Plenty of time to get there. Of course, all :30 means to me is an extra half hour at BUS or wherever else.

7:00!!!

 

Mark me down as another who'd prefer a 7:00 PM tip off. I'm one of those unfortunate early risers during the week.

 

Pushing game time to 7:00PM is great idea!
