Super Bowl question

Every year I always hear a little talk about moving this to Saturday. Has (or will) this ever be seriously considered by the league? In my opinion it would take an immensely popular event and make it even more popular.

    But then it wouldn't be super Sunday.

    It would then be Super Saturday. No, I haven't heard anything, but it probably won't happen.

    All NHL games have to be finished before 6pm Sunday night, and Hockey Night in Canada won't ever give up Saturday 7pm starts
    in Toronto and Montreal, and 10pm starts out west. The NFL would probably have to pay huge money to buy out those
    advertisers for Hockey Night in Canada.

    I like the idea- I suspect it will not happen

    Here's your answer:
    Last year, a league spokesman responded to a Sports Illustrated reporter by saying: “We hear this each year. The concept of playing the Super Bowl on a Sunday has worked well for 44 years, and we don’t anticipate moving away from this tradition. Fans expect to see the Super Bowl on a Sunday, the day on which 89.2 percent of NFL games are played.”
