As a father with young kids I’m not a fan of these afternoon start times, I was hoping this would be a night game at Autzen especially since I’ll be taking my wife to her first duck game.

My son usually naps from 1-3ish so these midday games actually create some logistical challenges here as well. (I'd prefer to either take him with me to wherever I go to watch the game OR invite people over.)

Only bad kickoff times are weekdays. Times on Saturdays are going to have proponents and detractors no matter what it is.

12:30 - Portland crowd doesn't have to get Saturday hotels
3:30 - Enough time to get down and back, but traffic postgame sucks
7:00 - Night game environment is awesome, don't need a Friday hotel, but out of towners either drive through the night or get a hotel.

Exactly, my kids like to go to bed early and wake up early, so they’re asleep when I go to night games but when it’s the middle of the day it feels like I miss most of the day.

Yeah my babies sleep from 1:30-3:30, similar to Pez. So 12:30 starts are the best actually.

I will say though, 6 pm or later starts are nice since they babies are down by 7:30. We had three last year and so far none this year.
