| Why are all the NFLL football games on Sunday and only one on monday night? |
|
Is there something special about the game that's played on monday night? |
|
Games traditionally were played on sunday. ABC added put a game on monday back in the '70s as an experiment to see how football would stack up against prime time tv. MNF ended up having some of the best ratings on TV so it stuck. ESPN eventually picked it up, but it had a hell of a run on ABC. |

Well...essentially it's the co-ordination of high school, college and NFL...high-school on Friday, college on Saturday and NFL on Sunday...and of course MNF(monday night football)...there are some exceptions like a few college games are played Thursday and Friday...The MNF game tends to be a marque match-up as it is a prime-time TV slot but often it isn't...but yeah...MNF is relatively always more hyped than the rest of the games... |
