Watching the NFL Playoffs...

[WDWjen]

We'll be there next weekend (at the beach club) and now that the JETS have made it to the playoffs again i'm sure my DH will want to watch -

Can anyone tell me best place to sit and eat and watch the games?

I know ESPN zone would be one option - but any others? Does Rose & Crown ever show american football???

thanks in advance!

Rose and Crown never shows anyone's football. As far as I recall there are no bars with TVs inside the parks (only exception is Tune In Lounge at DHS but their TVs show only clips of old sitcoms).

Resorts are another matter. Resort bars usually have at least one TV and they generally broadcast sports. In the Epcot resort area take a look at Martha's Vineyard and Crew's Cup lounges (BC and YC). Not sure the Bellevue Lounge at BW has a TV.

Also, if you are planning on going to the ESPN zone, try to get there at least 30 - 60 minutes before the game. During playoffs of any kind, the tables and bar fill up and it's often difficult to find a seat.

I have been there during playoff times, and ESPN is insane. We have done a couple things, picked up food at (the then) spoodles take out window and eaten in the room or gotten room service

Just not into crowded places to watch the game, YMMV

You need to be there WAY more than 30-60 minutes for a playoff game...for a regular season 1 pm game we usually got in line 11-1130 the latest and were lucky to get a good seat in front of the giant TV in the main dining room.

We went to ESPN zone last weekend to watch the Jets play and it was a mob scene - line out the door to get in, we went in through the gift shop just to check out the bar and you couldn't even move in there. It was really chaotic. So we went down to Big River Brewing and were lucky enough to score bar tables. The bar itself was full and everyone was into the game - lots of Jets fans - but it wasn't a mob scene where you couldn't even talk to your new friends during commerical breaks. It was a great time, I'm so glad we went. I've had bad experiences with the food there but we didn't go to eat, just to drink (the beer is decent) and to watch the game. Wish we were going back next weekend!

I know nothing about sports -- but seems like whenever we go to Big River Grille there are two different sports games of some type on their TVs located on each end of their bar area. (I have been so tempted to ask them to change one to the Weather Channel or something. But someone always comes along and watched whatever ball chasing sport they have on. )
Last month some big game must have been on. BRG had their two different TVs showing different games, and then ESPN had some huge screen outside with a lot of people standing around watching it. (Might have been Christmas Day.)

You may want to check out the RFC. I haven't been to the ones at WDW but I know the one in Vegas did have TVs at the bar section when we ate there a couple of years ago.
It is times like these that make me wish Disney would put in a bigger ESPN Zone in DTD
