No parking yet

My basketball tickets have been showing available in the Cal Bears app for several days. That's how I realized that they'd finally announced the (crappy) game times.

Times are ok, if you are retired but I understand your concern. I go early and sit in a movie to avoid traffic from the peninsula

The 2 weekday games earlier than 6pm are pretty obnoxious. The schedule is definitely more tailored to retired people. :-(

I'm (mostly) retired but I think the schedules should prioritize the needs of working people.

The game on Nov. 2 is a double header with men playing at 5 and women at 7. I believe one admission gets you in for both games

And the only other example is on December 22? Should be a slow week and an easy one to duck out of the office early.

I have season tickets for both. That schedule doesn't make sense and isn't actually possible. Men's games generally last about 2 hours, and the WBB teams will need time to warm up before their game, so I don't think there's any way for the WBB game to start until 7:30 at the earliest.
There's a 2nd double-header scheduled on Tuesday 12/22, with the women playing at noon and the men at 3. Both in the middle of a regular workday. ***?!?! At least that one seems to allow enough time between games, but hardly anyone will be there to see them.
Most of the weekday games during the conference season are at 6:00 too, which means needing to duck out of work early and either eat mediocre Haas food for dinner, pick up takeout food to bring, or having very late dinners for all off those games. The ACC clearly cares more about TV dollars than getting fans in the seats.

We saw this alot in CYO - the women can run out on the court and take a few practice shots, while the mens' game is at the other basket. Then they can hurry off the court, after the rebound and fast break coming towards them. Meanwhile the visiting team can do the same at the now empty half court.

This can go on for quite awhile and may present some added excitement. But Jay and Jenny assured us that this scheduling will save about $1453 from the reduced hour for security and such. We are so lucky to have them looking out for the best interests of the student athletes and fans.

Don't worry - it will be fine.
