NFC championship game time??

what time would it be slated for? Does it depend on the teams involved? I tried searching and couldn't find it. I have a company party that day and I want to know if I am not going or if its during the day. Any help would be useful. thanks

It was at 3:30 in 2005. If that helps. :sherlock:

IIRC one will start at noon our time and the other at 3:30 PM our time. Obviously if an east coast team, say the Pats, were hosting the AFCCG and the Hawks were hosing the NFCCG, we'd have the 3:30 PM start. If it's 2 west coast teams, I have no idea how it's determined.

I was there and it was still light out when the game started so I have to respectfully disagree.

Yeah, I hit the wrong number. It was 3:30 our time.

Interestingly in Jan. 2006 both Denver and Seattle hosted the Championship games. Denver started at noon Seattle time and the Hawks 3:30pm.

If both teams host again it could be the exact same scenario playing out.

Which would make sense because a noon Seattle start is a 1PM Denver game.

If I check my atlas, Denver is the city furthest West - outta all AFC teams involved in this year's playoffs.
Any other team that could host an AFCCG would have an "early" game starting no later than 1:00 p.m. (their local time....i.e. Kansas City)

Based on that, AFC gets early time slot....
and Seattle would get the 3:30 p.m. (west coast) start.

I, too, was there in Seattle (Jan. 22nd, 2006)....game time was 3:30 p.m. !!! ~ ~ Just like this coming January !!! :th2thumbs:

So if the game is at 3:30 what time shall we start tailgating?!

...right after the divisional round win !!!! :th2thumbs:

Mitch is doing Mr Playoffs right now, talking about the divisional playoff game. Says it's most likely we'd play Saturday 1/11 at 5pm, because Fox will get the early Sunday game(@CAR or NO).

I would think(hope) the networks would give us the 3:30pm slot regardless of which AFC team hosts the championship game. SD and OAK are the only Pacific time zone teams, neither are in play here. Wouldn't put it past them though to give it to Denver if it's Manning/Brady XV.

Think about this,
Denver, as the "late game" would start @ 4:30 p.m. ~ Mountain Time Zone
Seattle, as the "early game" would get the 12:00 NOON (Pacific) start time !!?????????????

Even the NFL isn't that stupid........

Denver - early - 1:00 p.m. (local) start......
Seattle - late - 3:30 p.m. (local) start......

BOOK IT !!! :th2thumbs:

You underestimate...

IT'S VERY SIMPLE:

The conference championship start times alternate between conferences each year.

The start times are 12:00 PT and 3:30 PT.

Since the NFC had the early game last year, this year the NFC is the late game.

So we will be hosting the championship game at 3:30 PT.

Perfect, and exactly how it was in 05. Shoot, bring in Carolina and get the same result. Getting tired of hearing how "scary" they are. Um, no, the Hawks are scary at home.
