    Since Saturday night is usually a better attendance drawing night than Friday night, why would a conference final in Chicago be on Fri Nov 14th.

    What in the Soldier field contract keeps the fire from playing on Saturday night?

    Bears play on Sunday, were lucky that they didn't make us play on Monday the day after the Bears game. This is why being the second tenant at NSF SUCKS, we need the FIREHOUSE built as soon as possible.

    I thought that the rules requiring the Fire to play x number of days away from a Bear game were not applicable during the playoffs.

    I guess they must've reached an understanding.

    I know there is one playoff game excetion to the 5 day rule but playing the night before a Bear afternoon game is too close. I'm not sure how long it takes to paint the gridiron lines and clean up the stadium.

    I posted something about this before, but actually we've always done pretty well with Fridays.
