And we can't build it till we cut it. So, when's first cut? My money is still on Oct 4th. With home games the two weeks before and after, it makes sense. Otherwise, we either start on Sept 13th (a little early), or Oct 25th (a tad late), and having a first cut on either a half day for a Saturday or on a Sunday is just a bad idea.
So, with all that said, I still say Oct 4th.
