The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that the starting time for their game
against the New Jersey Devils at the Wachovia Center on Saturday, October 25,
has been changed to 4:00 p.m. (et).
"We felt that changing the starting time to 4:00 p.m.
benefits our fans," said Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren. "The 4:00 p.m.
starting time should alleviate some of the congestion in the sports complex area
and gives our fans the opportunity to view Game Three of the World
Series."
The original starting time of 7:00 p.m. for the game was
changed to 4:00 p.m. to avoid a conflict with Game 3 of the 2008 World
Series. This is the second time that the Flyers have changed a game to avoid a
conflict with a World Series game. The Flyers-New York Islanders game at the
Spectrum on October 21, 1993 was moved to October 22 to avoid a conflict with
Game Five of the 1993 World Series.
