Hopefully Oct. 7 isn't unseasonably warm.

No kidding! I've seen 100 degrees in the first week of October before.

Pray for no smoke.

4pm seems early for the first week of October.

When I was a student 2008-2011, they did a lot more day games. They polled students and found they preferred night games. I prefer afternoon games but certainly not in August,Sept, or the first 10 days or so of Oct. I don't mind late afternoon games once you get to mid October, but 4pm for Oct 7th will likely be hot or smoky.

The Nov 4th game I would have the game start about 2 or 3pm because after sunset it gets cold and foggy in Nov and Dec.
