The MLB, due to the requirements of records, home field advantage, and opposition teams had to schedule the Houston Astros vs. the Boston Red Sox on October 14, 2018, a Sunday, at Fenway Park in Boston. Due to television scheduling, it was a Sunday evening game.
The NFL had the Kansas City Chief playing the New England Patriots in Foxborough the same day, the same night.
Can New England sustain fan support for two major league events occurring at the same time on the same day. Sure it can, and it has in the past and will in the future.
It is a little frustrating for fans of both sports, because we want to follow both games. Tonight was no exception for me. So, I watched the Red Sox game, until its successful end, and flipped back and forth to the Patriots game, until the baseball game was done. That allowed me to watch the Patriots game to its end, which they won.
