Here's the relevant part for BN's blog:

The Cubs are polling season ticket holders and area residents about start times for Friday and Saturday games. Essentially, the Cubs are asking folks how they’d feel about later starts on Friday (moving from 1:20 to 3:05pm), and more night games on Saturday.

Maybe it's all the day games they play that have taken it's toll on the Cubs through the years... Maybe not. More night games and later starts couldn't hurt though.

Less day games = less having to make excuses to miss work/school

Now people will have to get creative on reasons for missing work/school.

Well fuck, if I had known that "Cubs game" was a legitimate reason for missing work/school I would've used it more often

I assumed it would work in Chicago haha Now, if I told any of my boss' that they would probably laugh at me, unless I was actually going to Chicago.

I'm fine with a 3:05 start on Fridays & SOME, not all Saturday games being moved to night games.
