Will Duffy's be picking up the game? Or more to the point will there be an official watch party locally in Boca if Duffy's is not the sponsor?
Smitty (or anyone else) who should we call to find out about an official watch party in Boca?
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I'd stay tuned to the FAUsports.com web site.

So apparently this is being offered as a PPV game only.

This may be a stupid question but Duffy's would only have to pay the $30 once to get it on all the TVs in that place, right, since they're all connected?
In any case, I don't see why Duffy's wouldn't carry the game. Even at a cost of $30, the place is overfilled with people. They bank on our gamedays. Not just them… Ale House too.

How much are the pay per view games usually? Will it be part of the gameday packages.
Last one was $14.95…you get the whole day.

Actually, not a stupid question at all.
I tried to get Wackadoo's to carry the Northern Arizona game in 2003 (I think it was that game). They really wanted to, but had to pay "per seat" since they were a bar. I remember $1,000 being the estimated cost.
And not knowing how many people would show up, I understood why they wouldn't want to risk $1,000 which probably was a weeks worth of revenue for them.
But Murphy's Downtown came to the rescue and carried the game. How many people showed up? 1,000. Ever been in Murphy's when there was 1,000 people ? Not fun. But that night….especially because everyone was chanting, yelling and screaming Owl spirit, it was a BLAST.
So I imagine Duffy's would have to pay per head as well. Even if they are paying $20 per seat ($20 per head x 500 seats??), will they make that money back? How many people there spend over $20? Are a lot of people there under 21, thus not spending the $20?
And $20 is just a random number I threw out for purposes of breaking down the cost per person to watch the event vs. how much each person will spend.
Obviously if it's $10 a seat or $30 a seat, that changes the dynamics.
