NFL Reportedly Considering Moving Super Bowl 50 Media Day to the Evening

Super Bowl media day is regarded as one of the biggest circuses in all of sports, and it may be undergoing a face-lift as the NFL preps for Super Bowl 50. 

According to Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo, the NFL has discussed shifting Super Bowl media day from a daytime event to a prime-time showcase. USA Today's Tom Pelissero added that it would move the annual interview extravaganza from Tuesday to Monday night.      

In addition to becoming a broadcast spectacle, Super Bowl media day has evolved into an event that fans have turned out in droves for over the last few years.

Back in 2011, the NFL announced for the first time it was selling tickets to the event, and it's kept with that tradition ever since. 

Since Super Bowl media day has established itself as a more affordable way for fans to get a glimpse of their favorite players in a unique setting, it's easy to see why the league would be keen on making it more available to enthusiasts who can't ordinarily tune in during the day.  

At last year's gathering in Glendale, Arizona, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch dropped his notorious, "I'm here so I won't get fined," soundbite after he was previously slapped with a $100,000 penalty for failing to adhere to the league's protocol regarding interactions with the media. 

Should the league proceed to move Super Bowl media day to the Monday night before the championship clash, fans shouldn't be disappointed. They'll have gone more than a week without NFL action at that point, and the prime-time shift would generate additional intrigue around the biggest sporting event of the year.
