Shoe Carnival will resume normal hours on December 26 to kick off their after Christmas and New Years sales. Shoe Carnival will also close early on Christmas Eve, December 24 at most locations. Stores may be open limited hours on New Years Eve and/or New Years Day.
What I find interesting is that baseball seems to have a pace of game problem because everyone says that it does. The average game lasts 3 hours, but then the average NFL game lasts 3 hours (they usually schedule two blocks of games on Sundays, three hours apart). They huddle in the NFL between plays to talk it over.
Major League Baseball is vowing to shorten the average length of its games. Officials have other ideas in mind in an effort to move things along. Last year's average was 2 hours and 54 minutes. Under the theory that most baseball games should not last longer than Ben-Hur, action is being taken. Games are to start on time (a revolutionary idea). Pitchers are to throw the ball within 12 seconds after the batter gets in the box, if no one is on base.
