We were there a few weeks ago to watch a NE Patriots game. We have gone to ESPN many times in the past to watch games and always walked right in. They never took reservations unless you wanted the reserve the priority seating in the recliner chairs. Well it seems things have changed but I'm not sure if this is only on Sundays or not. This time we got there about 30 minutes before the football game was starting. There was a long line to get in. Many of the people in line had made reservations. I inquired with one of the staff and they told me in order to make a reservation you have to pay a flat fee of something like $100 per person (maybe more, I can't remember the exact amount) and then your drinks and food will be included in that fee, unless you eat or drink more than $100. We had just eaten a late breakfast at Boma that morning and were only planning on having a few drinks and and sharing an appetizer or two so we were not going to pay that fee and decided to just wait in the line to get in. As it turned out we were in before halftime and the restaurant was not even close to full. If you really want to guarantee that you get to eat at ESPN and/or see a specific game, call them and find out what the policy is on reservations.
