What is the Point of Playing in the Rain?

[JRutledge]

I will admit that I have not been paying that close attention to the schedule, especially at this time of year.

TV has always taken precedent in these situations so that more people can see the game. People were complaining that they could not see certain games during the first round of playoffs. This is the reason the Super Bowl has been moved from an afternoon game to an evening extravaganza.

Except out here on the West Coast, where it remains an afternoon extravaganza. Kickoff is usually around 3:40 PST.
