These changes don't affect me because i'll be in NY on the 22nd anyways. I feel bad for the inconvenience this will cause everyone.
No, because there's one Monday night NFL game for broadcast each week. They'd have to change the date of another game too, lol. Schedule, Schedule, Schedule, Schedule!!!
over the last few years, the nfl has scheduled 2 monday night games...but these are on opening weekend
there have been some cases where natural disasters have caused sunday games to be moved to monday night:
there was a san diego game that was moved to tempe due to fires (oops, this game was scheduled for a monday, just a venue change)
a saints/giants game that was moved from new orleans to new jersey due to katrina
found this on wikipedia:
There have been a few occasions when two Monday night games were played simultaneously.
In 1987, a scheduling conflict arose when Major League Baseball's Minnesota Twins went to Game 7 of the World Series (which also aired on ABC), making the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome unavailable for the Minnesota Vikings' scheduled game that Sunday.
The Vikings game was subsequently moved to Monday night, and ABC aired it in a split telecast with the regularly-scheduled MNF game.
A similar scenario unfolded in 1997, when the Florida Marlins went to Game 7 of the World Series and the Miami Dolphins' Sunday game at Pro Player Stadium was shifted to Monday night (which marked a rare instance of the Dolphins wearing their road jerseys in a night home game, since the game was originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon - the Dolphins usually wear their home jerseys in night home games).
but there's no way in hell they are going to move a game to monday night just to fit u2's concert schedule
