Most people don't like late night games because a large portion of the crowd shows up staggering drunk and disorderly from partying all day. I've never heard anyone advocate noon kickoffs, although UF used to ALWAYS kickoff home games at 1:30pm to take advantage of the heat, which our players were used to, against opponents. A.

Noooooooo Ive been to the stadium many many times thank you very much. However... when I bitched about a noon start for one game in the past on this list... I recall someone mentioning that there were some boosters or somesuch who didnt like games that started later (because then they would get home later), or something to that effect and thus.. noon kickoff.
