2020 Schedule Thread

[Ulrich]

Wow. Columbus on March 1. Toronto on March 7. Pack the long underwear!

No idea why the league isn't playing more games where the weather is warm. Teams down south bitch about hot games in summer as much as we bitch about cold games in winter. Seems like a natural trade, but who knows.

Frozen tundra in Ohio in March.

Up to Toronto a week later is mind numbing- that makes zero sense. Let’s just pick the most northern venues and schedule matches there when the weathermen are typically giddy reporting on bomb-cyclones and Nor’easters flying through.

“We’re starting the schedule earlier, but have cold weather”
“Ok, schedule northern teams in southern cities for the first 1-2 weeks”
“Got it. New York goes to Columbus and Toronto”

The top half of that actually looks pretty good.
11 of the warmest 14 locations open in Week 1. 2 go in Week 2, and the last one, Miami, has new stadium issues that probably keep them from opening sooner.

I for one am not hyped about any of these games.

Right. I guess the issue I have is less the opening week than that the warmer teams aren't playing 2-3 of the first 3 weeks.

As Kayne West and Joel Esteen are taking over YS on May 2nd and Yankees are home on May 5th at 6:35. We will have a home game that Thursday April 30. Hopefully we have only 5 mid week games this yrm https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cn...e-west-joel-osteen-church-new-york/index.html

Lovely. We get bumped for a couple of grifters.

Guess Nets and NYCFC conflicting games hopefully will hit prime. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost...s-teaming-up-with-amazon-to-stream-games/amp/

 

[LionNYC]

Joel Osteen is at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, May 2, 2020. So I guess that's an away weekend, or a midweek game.

The article says it's only for select Yankees games next season, not that their full streaming package is going to Amazon Prime. This seems like the sort of thing that will be tried as a test next year, but it looks like FOX Sports GO is still likely for 2020.

i'm sure you have your reasons.. but to me, a sunday game is similar to a mid-week game cause the next day is a work/school day. sunday is fine if it's mid-afternoon though. i prefer saturday evening games

probably delayed till like 5, every year there is some "last minute" changes that delays everything a few hours.

 

[The Toe]

Well, we won't play RSL this year.

My reasons are I can't attend saturday games
mid-sunday is best, like the 1-4pm games.
