I would assume so that they can save the cost of a hotel weds. night.
In 2002 we flew out of San Jose at 10:30 to Atlanta, then to Orlando, but on Tuesday night.
That *really* sucked. I think half the team was sick or ready to pass out from exhaustion by the time we reached the hotel after seeing KSC Weds.
This year thankfully we're leaving at a reasonable time Wednesday. It costs just as much as leaving late, so hey, why not
