Great job! I hope they do more of these types of events to help build the fanbase....
 
What is the logic behind a 5pm game on a weekday

None. Were they hoping to keep fans around for women's game following the men's? If so, crazy.

If they were trying to draw a crowd for a doubleheader, have the ladies play first
It might motivate those attending the men's game to come early and support the ladies
The team that has the bigger draw should play the "late" game
 
I would have to think it's because of TV. If they actually decided to make it at 5PM that'd be pretty foolish.

Could very well be true
Fox Sports 1 is showing the BC - Providence game that night at 7 PM

by the time the 2nd game rolls around anyone in the upper deck will need to see chiropractors after sitting on those f'ing benches so long
 
Was at the game tonite! There was a nice crowd considering the early start! Could not take anything positive from the performance tonite except for Yawke who has tremendous upside in my opinion. 18 turnovers was absurd. Need to work on that quickly!
