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.
And now the free-throws. Lets say teams average 20 free throws per game, and each free-throw is 10 seconds, so you end up with 200 seconds of more time. Times 2 (2 teams) and it gets to 400 seconds. Lastly there are the pregame interviews and post game interviews.
