Watch the Game in NYC Ship of Fools

[Jordan 04]

[CROSS-POSTED FROM THE OTHER SHIP OF FOOLS VIEWING THREAD]


 
Has anybody given thought to simply waiting for the ESPN-U tape delay showing (I believe it's at 12:30 am), and having a gathering then? That's if you don't find any place in the city to view the game live.

I realize it would be at a rather late hour and it's an awful feeling waiting around to watch a game that you know is already in the books, but there would be no competition with NCAA basketball, you'd "own" the place at that hour, and I'm sure SOF (or any sports bar) would be thrilled to have a crowd like that whooping it up with beer and food flowing through 2:30-3 am.

I would imagine it would be a pretty unique experience gathering of dozens of Faithful, not knowing the result of the game (this may be the hardest part...having a roomful of people, and making sure nothing is leaked), and watching it as if it were live. And then, hockey gods willing, you get to come back 12 hours later and do it all over again!

I dunno what you think -- maybe I just proposed the dumbest idea ever -- but I just thought it might be a neat alternative for you guys if there's a lot of trouble finding a place to watch the game on TV.
