Not ideal on a Sunday, but gonna be a hot ticket.

If anyone cares, the Jets are home at 1pm that day.

Hopefully the Sunday game is a one-time thing and it's back to Saturday in 2022. I understand why SHU wanted a Sunday game after having Texas on Thursday. The Big 12-Big East battle being spread out over like 2.5 weeks is dumb, it should all be in three days like the B1G-ACC challenge. Then you can just tell coaches "block off these three days" and let them fill in around it. The BE and B12 should also take traditional rivalry games into account when scheduling these things.

Saturday at 4pm is ideal IMO

It avoids the bulk of the NFL TV windows of time and likely lands on FS1 that night. It should be good for attendance for folks in NJ. Maybe start an early dinner at home before leaving for the game.

Interesting that Seton Hall plays at Michigan (Nov. 16), then takes on Ohio State Nov. 22 at Fort Myers FL, then either Cal or Florida, Nov. 24 in a second game at Fort Myers.
Pretty aggressive scheduling.
I wish Rutgers would schedule games in southwest Florida. Plenty of Rutgers folks on both sides of Florida.

Sunday night game sucks - I’m sure this will have an impact on overall attendance from both sides.

Hold this game on Saturday afternoon or night and I think it could have been close to a sell out (if SHU manned up opened the top level).

Either way I still plan on going from South Jersey. Haven’t missed one of these games since they stood the rivalry back up.

It's still going to be a sell out.

Im talking about selling out all of the Prudential Center (bottom and top bowls).

SHU hasn’t opened the top for the past couple games when the lower bowl sold out.

I think they’re worried about how many Rutgers fans would fill the top.

Yeah, agreed. I don't think they'd open it even if it were Saturday at 4 PM.

This doubleheader with UCLA vs UCONN in Women's Hoops, followed up by St Bona vs UCONN.

Seton Hall doesn't have any control over the dates at Prudential Center, the TV networks dictate the times, once the dates are finalized. If the UCONN doubleheader wasn't on the slate for that Saturday afternoon, the RU vs SHU could have been Saturday instead of Sunday.

Their AD would in a heartbeat if the lower bowl sells out by early November.

They lost an entire season of revenues.

I was there for SHU vs Villanova a few seasons ago, all levels were open and lots of Nova fans.
