Noon start for Wrigley game?

[TC4THREE]

I'd be pissed if I had tickets to it.

2:30 CT would have been better, but this will be a nice day out in Wrigleyville.

Meh. Allows people to enjoy wrigleyville afterwards plus should allow Purdue fans to catch the Purdue-UNC basketball game afterwards.

Not only a noon kick-off, but we're playing at the same time as OSU v MSU...so even a small TV audience can be expected.

12 p.m. ET
Purdue-Northwestern (BTN)
Michigan State-Ohio State (ABC)
Rutgers-Penn State (BTN)

2 p.m. ET
Illinois-Iowa (FS1)

3:30 p.m. ET
Minnesota-Indiana (BTN)
Michigan-Maryland (BTN)
Nebraska-Wisconsin (ABC or ESPN)

That is a garbage start time, you are right...

A game at Wrigley should have had some interest in having it played in front of a decent national audience...I mean, Indinia has appeared (barely) in prime time games...how a game at Wrigley, with Purdue having some national attention at least (and potentially more) ends up at 11 AM CST and Noon EST is questionable for sure.

That said, and, someone else touched on it...I am glad that I can go to the game and still watch the basketball game then after.

We've been at 2:30/3:30 quite a bit this year. They need to mix it up some. If Northwestern was better, I could see it.
