Sort of weird to have them on as they have no effect on the field. For a 2:00 game, they can turn them on after halftime but doesn't make sense for anything earlier.

no expert, but I think it's to provide sufficient lighting on the field for TV. And there was still a possibility of rain for the 2 pm kickoff, no?OneTopOneChickenApple said:

The lights were on for Weber State too which was a 12:30 start and sunny day.
Fan enlightenment.
Piped-in sun
I wonder if it's for the sake of the TV look. I mean, as a photographer you still use flash in sunlight to cancel out harsh shadows for example. Not sure if stadium lights would be bright enough, though.
My totally ignorant guess: so that there's no abrupt transition between daylight and artificial light, caused by turning on the lights mid-game.
Come on, Y'all.........
And to riff on the transition, doesn't it take awhile to get them up and running as well?JSC 76 said:

Never know how an afternoon might stretch with gameplay and overtime.KoreAmBear said:And to riff on the transition, doesn't it take awhile to get them up and running as well?JSC 76 said:
