City's pre-season tour in the US

[Middedon]

Probably 10 minutes of advertising

Oh god, this is terrible. And true. Everything annoying about America(ns), I’m just going to call the “cultural convention.”

Yes, I am American.

Anyone have an idea about what "cultural convention" in the US is about?

From City's website
"Please note, all matches in the US kick off around 10 minutes later than advertised due to the cultural convention of the country."

That’s the way for big US sports events isn’t it, football etc.
the NFL games never seem to start on the top of the hour or the exact half hour.

Im flying into NYC Thursday week from Dublin for the Milan game. 4 day trip. Have the old man who’s t total with me. Any NYC blues or British & Irish Blues advise me where’s best to go for a few beers with fans.

Didn’t realise there was one. Cheers

So why not (for an 8pm kick off) say kick off is 7.50pm?
Or is that too simple?
