    Why is the Dallas kickoff at 10am local time?

    Detroit @ Dallas 10:00 am kickoff Pacific Time.

    Is this normal? I've never really thought about it before but it doesn't really make much sense to me. If someone knows more about this I'd like to hear it.

    Must be the 1st time the OP has watched the NFL.

    Games start EVERY week at 10am Pacific.

    For betting purposes, Pacific time is the best to live in. You get to watch al the games after work without worrying them starting too late.

    I think he is just use to seeing Dallas having a 4pm start for home a game.

    It is unusual for them to be playing a 1pm home game.

    My bad for thinking Texas was pacific time as it seems like sports events in Texas start much later in the Eastern time zone. Thanks to the normal posters for letting me know and the rest of you can keep on being internet tough guys.

    Dallas has started home games at that time slot for decades unless it is a special start time for TV.
