Hey, Hot Dog!

Local Football Fans Unite
By Barry Shuck

Going to any live football game is the ultimate fan experience: excessive noise, live action, getting beer spilled on you, traveling to a different stadium, the electricity of the event, and paying $6 for a hot dog: yep—all in the name of a good time while supporting your favorite team.

But what happens when the game is on TV at your house? Zero travel expenses and high-priced tickets are eliminated, the hot dogs taste different, it’s difficult to high-five Fluffy after a touchdown, and the game seems to be the best time to grab a quick nap. But what if you could stay in Pensacola and watch the game with other fans who share the same passion as you do for your team? Imagine watching your team live without the $200 tickets, hotel reservations, and Interstate gas prices, and with folks who understand your need for a hot dog away from home?

Numerous local sports bars host “watch parties” for various college and NFL teams. Hey—I said local! And although there aren’t any tickets to buy or cover charges, you will enjoy the company of other rabid fans, excellent food, and drink specials. And with throngs of HD TVs and multiple jumbo screens, the view from the stands is always great.
