Night Games or Day Games for College Football?

Are night games or day games better in College Football?

100% night games are better. There is nothing better than going to a football game in the evening, it's dark outside and the stadium lights are on, and if you are at BYU, you see the beautiful Y up on Y Mountain lit up. The crowd is electric and the atmosphere is just incredible. If you don't think this, you are missing out because you have definitely been going to the wrong stadiums and teams.

Yes, there is definitely one BIG disadvantage to night games. YOU HAVE TO WAIT ALL DAY!! That sure is the hard part. But then, it is all ok and made up for when you get to the game.

Now, what about at home? Are day or night games better?

Night games still. I feel like with day games it is harder to make sure you are free for your team's game. You have to make sure you can watch the whole game so you need to be careful to not schedule anything for like 3 1/2 hours. Also with sports, you very possibly might miss your football team's game!! I know with day games, it is hard to watch the BYU game some Saturdays because I am at my siblings' cross country meets. And with night games, you can get everything done that you need to and then you can settle down and watch a great football game!
