Last year Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan was discussing this (Bengals Prime Time). He stated that when he was with the Steelers they would practice in the actual stadium under the lights at least once the week leading up to a Prime Time game. He stated it is a different "look' and no amount of day time prep can simulate the conditions.

I wonder if the Bengals do this prior to PT games? Maybe I'll Ask Jim O.

Yes, he started doing this last year I do believe. I remember him saying he pushed practices back to 8pm, but cant seem to find a link for it. I did find this nice little nugget:

"“They don’t need to worry about some of that. All they know is since Andy and A.J. [Green] have been here, I think we are 2-4 and we lost the last four after winning the first two. That is the most important thing and it really doesn’t matter when we play. It’s probably my fault still because I don’t like to play the night games. I’d rather play every game at 1 p.m. here. But we got to win this one. It’s an important game for us and both teams. It means a lot to both teams.”
