Anyone know when it’ll be listed? Checked ESPN and FOX, but no luck. Looking to buy tix to a game, but no sale from brokers till the date is announced.

Any help?

[Here’s the latest:](http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/7236137)

> \*\*(April 6, 2004) – The National Football League will officially announce the 2004 regular-season playing schedule on NFL Network’s signature show, NFL Total Access , as soon as the schedule is completed, which is expected to be later this month. \*\*

Not too much longer now. I had seen the date of April 13th bandied about on some pro football message boards, but I can’t find a definitive cite for that.

Re timeframes:

The NFL announced the 2003 schedule on April 3rd last year.  
The NFL announced the 2002 schedule on April 4th 2 years ago.  
The ESPN first posted the 2001 schedule on April 12th 3 years ago.
