I'm fine with the late starts for games before the students are back. Those are the weeks where it is apt to be hot. This stadium does not handle heat well at all. But once the students are back and it cools off, and we start league play--I'd much prefer the old-fashioned 12:30 or 1:30 start times. Even the 5:00 start times have the advantage of letting fans high in the stands facing west see a spectacular sunset over the campus. 7:30 is also very bad for the national reputation of the program, since it minimizes the chance that anyone in the East will see the game.
Yes, there were some drunk people around me in the stands last night. A little obnoxious--loud talking across several rows while the people in-between were trying to watch the game. But nothing violent or unsafe. For some reason there were a LOT of security people at the game. Not just all the yellow jacketed ushers (why couldn't they have chosen a different color!) but sheriff deputies every hundred feet. I don't think I had seen that before. I wonder if they expected something.
