Watching football games at WDW?

[crazycatlady]

Thanks, AngiTN! I wasn't sure if they had multiple tvs going at one time, like a sports bar. The game I am interested in is a Packers/Browns game, which will probably not be a very popular game if they only showing a few at a time. We were going to look for a Packer bar close to DW, but I like your suggestion of calling and asking first.

In November my husband watched the Eagles/Falcons game at Splitsville. They had it showing inside and outside so he had a great view from a table on the patio!

We were going to try ESPN but heard how crowded it could get for a 1 pm game. We were very happy to find it at DS!

They will undoubtedly have the Packers on if they have Sunday ticket (and they likely do). They're a top-5 popular team in the country.

I know the Packers are a popular team, but an AFC vs NFC game isn't as important as other match ups if they only have a few tvs. It sounds like they have multiple tvs, so my chances are looking good! Thanks, everyone!

Regardless, the Packers are popular no matter who they are playing.

If things go as planned, we will be there this Saturday for LSU/Miss State. We have watched countless at ESPN in the past, but it's always such a hassle. Game is at 7 so was hoping to maybe slip into somewhere less busy in DS that night.

My first thought when you mentioned the specific game is to watch in the lounge at POFQ??

And you have a treat ahead of you with Matt Canada running your offense!! So annoyed LSU 'stole' him from Pitt after just one season

So Splittsville would be a viable option to catch an NFL game that wouldn't be televised on tv?

Yes-Splitsville can get you just about any sporting event much like ESPN Club.

We like to sit at the outside bar and people-watch while watching our game.(get the Salmon!).

Lol! Sorry! Everything we have seen so far has been SO much better than recent years! We are very excited to have him...that's until someone else steals him to be a head coach one day!

I haven't been. Is it like a typical sports bar with tvs everywhere? Will they put a game on if they have it & you request it?

It is a Bowling Alley first and Sports Bar second.

It doesn't have as many TVs as ESPN Club,but has a large amount and they will put your game on one of the TVs on request(there are "areas" with TVs where you can watch games without having to bowl).

I had a great time many years ago watching the NBA finals at the lounge/bar in our resort (SSR).

Thanks for the confirmation, WEDWDW! An outdoor bar sounds like an awesome place to watch football.
