2:30 is the best time
Late to responding to this, but 100% agree. You don't have to wake up super early, get plenty of tailgating in and you eat more or less at lunch time, go to the game, it's over at 5/5:30, you can go back, have dinner, also at a normal time, maybe a quick nap and head to the ville. Easily my favorite time for home games.
11 am sucks for home games, so early, but love it for road, gets it over quick.
Late games can be fine but I prefer them for only the big games and really only want them occasionally. It becomes a lot to the lead up if they happen often.
