Would the ESPN Club restaurant show the Thursday night football game

Since it's on the NFL Network? If the game is gonna be shown, what time should we get there in hopes of getting a good table? I think kickoff is 8:00.

Thanks!

Yes it will be shown (the restaurant isn't limited to the same TV channels as the Disney resorts).

Plan to get there about an hour ahead or be prepared to wait an hour or more for a table.

There are 2 sections to ESPN - the restaurant (left side) and the bar (right side). You can get food at either place. When DH and I usually go for sporting events, we try to get there at least 1 hour before and sit on the bar side where there are tables, booths and seats at the bar.

Absolutely. We were there for Sunday football in September and it was packed, but I wouldn't expect Thursday to be the same. But they were showing all the games, including the ones on NFL Network. We sat at a table in the bar area and got there about an hour and a half before kick off. I'd say you should do the same - even though it won't be as busy as Sunday football day, it's dinner time.

In December 2010 when I was at the ESPN Club to watch a Hockey game I was sitting in the bar area at one of their high top tables and on their big screen TV they were showing the 49ERS/Chargers game which was on a Thursday night.

Now that same night the game I wanted to watch started at 9:30 PM and I walked in a couple of minutes before it started and didn't have a problem sitting down at a high top table. Plus since I happened to be staying at the Boardwalk Inn during that time I had a Boardwalk view and there was no line up to get in before the Football game started when I looked in that direction. Although maybe that's because it was two teams from the West Coast and at that time they had lossing records.

The only time I have not been able to see an event at ESPN was a soccer match that was only available on Fox Soccer Plus...It'll be on
