For all those who whine about late games, it would help the cause to play more early games if Stanford fans fill the stadium for Northwestern.  Nobody is going to take later game complaints seriously in the Pac-12 office if Stanford Stadium is half empty for this game.

There could be a big crowd for this game but you will not see it on tv. It's going to be so hot in the stadium at 1 pm that half of the crowd will be in the shade of the concourse. Stanford Stadium has definitely earned its reputation as the Big Wok.

On the one hand, your observation is totally valid. Other other, Stanford fans might reasonably be accused of being Goldilocks: morning games are too early, evening games are too late for kids, and daytime games are too hot. There is no pleasing you (us) people!

The sweet spot is 3:30, 4 pm. But you are absolutely correct that people will find some something to complain about in just about any scenario.
