Here's an interesting piece of effluvia... The AFL head man, Gillon McLachlan, came to America to watch the Super Bowl in person, and came away with the thought that seeing Katy Perry under the lights is more fun than watching her in the daytime would be.
Currently, the Grand Final is always played in the middle of the afternoon, a daytime game, and it's been that way forever. But with the impetus from the AFL CEO, and the motivation of the newly installed lighting system at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds (the MCG - "the home of footy", where the Grand Final is played every year), the start of a conversation is there now to change the way the Grand Final looks after the current TV contract expires in 2016.
What do YOU think? Should the AFL move their premiere event to prime time? (For us here in Idaho, that puts it at 4 in the morning, instead of 10 at night...no bueno for Americans...) Let us know in the comments!
