Even watching it at home it would become boring. More chance of flicking thru the channels and watching something else to kill the time then forgetting it was on and missing the second half. The 15 minute break drags on tv when you are listening to the drivel most of the pundits spout most games and watching endless replays of opposition goals etc.

Half-time drags on long enough as it is, particularly at home games.
The Superbowl may have a 25 minute break but all the other regular season NFL games only have 12 minutes. Its a one off event where they charge millions for an advert during that half time break.
How many different acts are they going to need to find for this to happen each week as well - cant see this idea getting off the ground, what a bunch of

The stupidest fucking thing I heard....today.
Recall USA world Cup when Yanks wanted 3 breaks to maximise commercial revenue. As regulars know, I'm a reasonable, easy going old codger but regarding this idea,Fuck off.The Superbowl may have a 25 minute break but all the other regular season NFL games only have 12 minutes.

Why does everyone hate change so much? Whenever anything changes the reaction is always the same.
For me extending half time makes perfect sense. Its always a struggle to buy and drink a pint in 15 minutes, to the point you have to neck it. I'd welcome a nice relaxed half time drink.
25 minutes might be a bit excessive, but 20 minutes would be a great idea. I've always thought 15 minutes is not enough.
As for those complaining about midnight blah blah blah.. Its 10 mins! That's all. What's the big deal between getting home at midnight or 23:50?

P.s. I don't give a shit about half time entertainment. But 5 minutes extra to have a relaxed drink without rushing? I'm all for it.

It's the reason that's the problem. If it was changed to accommodate people at the ground, like you said, then it's fine, 5 mins extra.
But to extend it for some half-time rubbish that no one wants to see? No, that's "bad change".
Make that 4-30 AM with our dismal train service.

First thought I had about extending the half-time break and providing live entertainment was, how much are the price of match-day tickets going to increase.
As for having an extra 10 minutes to swallow a pint, there are easier ways to accommodate the fans who want a pint. Ways like introducing more sales points.

To be fair it's even worse in the concourse with the scumbags. You have to queue for 14 minutes and have 1 minute to drink.
At least our beers are waiting on our table with the caviar and fois gras as soon as we go back to our heated seats.
