The game is slated for 1:40. Average game time is just over 2:38, so they are sone before 4:30p. Minimal infrastructure required for an audience of 16,000.
Snf doesn’t kickoff until 8:20. Will there be tailgating going on before 4:30… yes. But it’s not like EVERY single 66,000 will be down there before 4:30. I would imagine the vast majority of fans don’t show up over 3 hours before kickoff.
Scheduling conflicts here would be minimal.
In fact, Oktoberfest provides more logistical challenges the following week than a measly home baseball game by one of the worst teams in the sport who will be fighting to not have 100 losses at that point.
The larger problem is staffing both stadiums. Many of the people who cook, clean, serve, usher, take tickets, etc work both stadiums
I'm betting at least 1/2 our games are national games either prime time or at 4PM
Winning makes believers of us all
