When will major league baseball games start to appear in the daytime?

Question

I am out of school already and most games, especially the Minnesota Twins, are still starting at 7:00 p.m. When will they begin to start at about noon or before 6:00 p.m.?

Answer 1

They probably won't because adults still have to work Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The only time games are on in the morning are on the weekends and if you are lucky, there are some morning games on the weekdays.

Answer 2

The likelihood of seeing a day game on:

Sunday - All games except the ESPN game of the Week are played in the afternoon.

Monday - All games are typically night games on Mondays unless played as part of a Monday holiday such as Memorial Day or Patriot's Day in Boston.

Tuesday - All games are typically night games on Tuesdays.

Wednesday - This is a good opportunity to find a day game as teams will often close a series with an afternoon game to allow extra time for travel to the next city. Close to half of the games scheduled on a Wednesday may have afternoon starts.

Thursday - When a series ends on a Thursday, there is also an opportunity for day games, as well. Does not occur as nearly as frequently as on Wednesdays, however.

Friday - Nearly always a night game.

Saturday - With the exception of the Fox game of the Week, nearly all Saturday games in MLB are now night games. Start times are typically one hour earlier than night games during the week, however.

Answer 3

I'm assuming you mean only on weekdays. Next Thursday, June 28, the Twins are playing the Blue Jays in Minnesota at 12:10pm CST. There will also be afternoon Twins games July 4-6, and at 11:37am July 25.

Answer 4

I think people should attend both - if possible. I live near the stadium where the Cardinals and Marlins have spring training and they really pack them in for 4 weeks every spring. During the rest of summer we have the Florida State League with the Class A Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals - unfortunately, they don't get much of a turnout which makes me sad for the players. They work hard out there in the hot Florida sun and deserve some cheering fans. The ticket price is much lower and you still get to see great baseball and great up and coming players.

Answer 5

Sundays, except for the ESPN game or Rangers home games. The occasional Monday (esp. Labor Day) or Thursday. Cubs games. Or you could move to Japan or Korea, where a 7:00 pm CDT start would be on around noonish,or Hawaii for convenient 2:00 pm starts.

Answer 6

Here on the West Coast, day games are played usually the day before a road trip, especially if they are going to the East Coast. Also on Sundays, unless it is the ESPN game of the week with Joe Morgan and Jon Miller. We get to see games played back east three hours early because of the time difference, so 7 pm games at 4 pm.

Answer 7

During the weekdays games come on at 7 or 8 because people work during the day and go to the ballgame at night. Gotta make that money. And before stadium lights were the norm, every game was played during the day.

Answer 8

once a week on thursdays at noon is the ESPN doubleheader. Usually a game 12-3 and another 3-6. Very enjoyable to watch

Answer 9

never,unless already scheduled like that. there are games on weekdays that are on around 3:30,but very few of them. the only reason the games are played at the times that are is because of ratings. if they played games around noon like u want,the ratings would be loewr than game 1 of the NBA finals.

think about it this way: when are most people home on both sides of the country? most people,if they work get hom around 5-7. "prime-time" sceduling is around 8-9. the only time they really start early is during the weekends,cause most people dont work weekends.

Answer 10

mostly on the weekends or on a holiday will a game time be earlier. The teams schedule their games at a time when a majority of their fans can attend the games to raise money income from ticket sales
