Has Cal ever had a sellout for a night game? Probably not, and probably not ever close.

I'm just guessing, but I also think a GameDay game has ever been a night game. So it looks like Cal will have to wait to host GameDay.

Too bad we did not have better horses up front on our final drive. We need a much better two deep at our five offensive line positions, which seem to consistently have more injuries than other positions. Perhaps our offensive coordinator, Bloesch, with his specialty seeming to be his O-Line coaching backgrounds, will turn things around there.

Have you forgotten about the 2006 UCLA game back when Memorial held 72k+. There was a butt in every seat and two knees in every back.

Edit: Apparently it was a 5pm kickoff in November, but it was dark well before halftime.

I don't understand the Cal fanbase's dislike of night games. Most other places prefer night games because the fans are rowdier.

Maybe its a Bay Area thing. People seem to genuinely not like night time or be able to stay up late here. Is it morning Cardio obsession? Or having to be on calls with NYC in the morning? Anyway, this place has the worst night life of any place I've lived BY FAR. Most of SF looks like an empty, deserted city by 9pm every night. The South Bay and the Peninsula aren't any better. Maybe I'm not frequenting the right places. I only go the East Bay for Cal games; maybe its all happening there.
