I'm so old I can say that used to be the standard kick off time.

Every team has to play on the same hot fields and no advantages to anyone unless you have a deep bench with great replacements to rotate in and out.

It is not about competition, it is about safety. It would make a difference especially on a turf field.

I saw recently where SUNY Morrisville Mustangs installed an entire black turf field. Can you imagine how hot that would be playing on that.

The average high there is only in the 70s in the summer. Of course thats still warm and black will still get hot. Alot milder climate than down here in the southern swelter.

I feel bad for these kids having to play in this heat. It’s been brutal today.
