80 million Tvs in a monstrosity sports bar environment. No pels.

So frustrating. How many markets would kill for both an NBA and NFL franchise?

That's disappointing, I've been wondering how it was in there.

Sadly all too common a story.

Because maybe 15 people in the state care about the Pels, myself included. Lafayette hardly has any Pels gear anywhere.

i'm in Baton Rouge, and it's easy to find pelicans gear. It's also easy to find a bar playing the games. I've watched in a few

I went there for an Lsu football game a couple years ago. Had to ask several times before they put it on and they were visibly getting aggravated about it. Meanwhile they had a group of Bama fans who had several tvs on the Bama game

The ace he's talking about just opened about 6 months ago (at most).

I've had to do this at multiple establishments throughout the city. Kind of used to it by now but it's still fricked up.

Remember when the excuse would have been "we don't have the channel"?

I'd like to think this is a function of our record... they definitely won't forget when we're in the playoffs, etc.

It's ok. I think there are certain establishments the Pels faithful just try to support, and certain ones that are difficult and avoidable. To me, it just seems "lazy" to not know your local sports teams' TV schedules. I'll throw out a name of a bar that I used to frequent when I drank that always had the game on...Swamp Room on Vets. I never had to request the game and seemed there were other fans there. Should turn this thread into some good Pels spots now that we outed a couple shitty ones.
