Wonder why the 1st and 7th games are at 8:08 and the others at 8:07? Do they need the extra minute for fans to be seated? Is the Star Spangled Banner going to run a minute longer (God, help us)?

Maybe it’s like the Olympics. They’ll have an opening and closing ceremony, albeit very quickly.
Or possibly an additional minute for commercials on those nights? It’s all about the revenue, as we know…
