Personally, not in favor of the earlier start times.  Our road games are all an hour or more by bus, so the band shows up late, the cheerleaders who also play volleyball on Friday evenings show up late.  I would prefer to keep the 7:30 start times myself.

The times should be 7:30. This would allow time for folks who have to work on Fridays to get to the games before kickoff. Also, like it was mentioned, the smaller schools have to wait till the buses have completed there end of school runs in order to have buses for the bands and so forth. Some of those do not get back till 5:00 to 5:30.

I guess my problem behind the 7 pm start is that I really don't know what goal districts are trying to accomplish with this change and whether 30 minutes really achieves that goal.

On the other hand, I can see the tangible disadvantages of moving the games up and can see the difference that 30 minutes does make when it impairs student participation and to some extent parental attendance.

Personally, I just find it confusing.... How in the world do you keep up with when the games are supposed to start? lol....

I prefer 7:30. For home games a group of us all go out to eat before the game, our version of tailgating I guess! Also the extra 30 mins gives the sun a chance to lower enough not to be right in my eyes in my reserved seat!

I hate the 7:00 kickoffs. Maybe cause I was in Smokepit, Texas aka West Texas heat. Sun goes down a little more if you start at 7:30

Agreed about sun in the visitors' eyes unless we're the home team. Ah but seriously, it's still hot at 7, and with Gore's climate change, it's going to get worse ;) ;)

Are all SETX schools starting at 7pm this week?

No.

21-3A district games will be 7pm, non district still at 7:30pm. There will be some other area games this week that play at 7pm though.
