I have probably attended over 30 LD games in my life and we always go down for breakfast, walk around the tailgate parties, and go in for the game either around 1:00 or 2:00.
Our group decided to back out this year because we were planning to bring kids and it will end too late for them. What a joke this franchise and league is sometimes. Judging by ticketmaster this will be the worst attended LD game in probably decades. Such a shame they had to go and mess with tradition. I hope they have a small crowd and a message is sent to revert the game back to the afternoon next year. End rant.

5:00 MST has been the weekend start time all season regardless of the market. I'm assuming it has something to do with TSN for ratings.
