What do you do? Thinking about bringing a tv and my lil Honda generator Saturday to catch some of the games. Will be set up in the Alex box lot. I know all locals towers are pretty close but just wondering what kind of small antenna works best? Is there some kind of homemade set up that works? I know I will have zero chance of streaming off my phone. Any advice is appreciated.

Even though the towers are close. There's a chance that you won't be able to catch ABC and/or CBS. Fox and NBC will come in completely clear.

I think like another poster said. Cell phone hotspot with a FireTV or similar is the best way to go, especially since you'll have the entire ESPN catalog that way.

Next question: What are you gonna play at the 2:30 slot. Three ranked vs ranked games including Coach Prime and Bama/Ole Miss

Tailgate right up against the baseball ops building and the towers are all to the south of it. Bought an Antennas Direct Clearstream 2v antenna from Wally World and caught all network channels last week. Also bought a 4v for home and love it. Multidirectional so can catch all networks stations from both Monroe La and Jackson Ms. They are more expensive than some others but still very reasonable (79 and 108$). Bought a 32” TCL Roku tv also with it and was very pleased with picture and entire setup.

CBS tends to have the worst signal in BR.

My guess is those assholes purposely do it to force people to pay for their streaming service.
