I am starting a Fans web site..Will need help..

[beevomav]

Back when I could walk upright, I went to the game. When I moved back to Dallas I would go to every UT home game, TX/OU in Dallas and a few close away games.

When I got older I had split season ticket packages for the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys and later the Dallas Stars. I never had tickets to the Rangers but that is because, unlike the other pro sports, you could just walk up and buy one for nearly every game. The thing is I got used to watching a game combined with screaming and hollering.

Later after I got a back injury in a car wreck. It is pretty much gone and I now go to major sporting events at a local watering hole. The only problem I am finding lately is they show the game but have music playing. Oh, not when Cowboys games are on but I have never seen a non-playoff game of baseball, in a bar, with the sound up and I have put a stop to it.

I am thinking of starting a web site for fans who actually want to watch a game without having music blasting. There is no way in hell you can get involved in a sporting event with the jukebox playing. I have nothing else to do so I will start next week and put as much information in the site as possible.

When it is up I will reach out for fans to give me some input on where to watch a game and feel like you are part of the game. I am not restricting it to any city or any fan base. So expect to hear more about this later..

BTW..What do you think? Helpful or a waste of time?

Damn, my wife won't even let me out of the house so you should consider yourself lucky! Just kidding... sorta. When I go to a bar it is usually to a sports bar where they always have the game on. If I go to BW3 then I have to deal with the super juke box and the wannabe's that come in and put on music I have never heard of. You should bitch out the owner! Nah, seriously you can't ask them to turn the sound up? Every time I travel I ask the hotel bar folks to turn sound up and change channels and they do. I hit some ice house in Orlando a few months ago and I think they would have turned off a Gators game and put a Texas one on if I had asked them.

I'm in on the website. Let me know what we can do to put it on the establishment!

The problem is not high profile games, it's the low level everyday run of the mill games that are getting buried by mindless music. I don't know if there is a site here but there is a need for such a service. It would be easy to do but would be a lot of work to implement. That work thing has me pondering?

I am semi-retired and my my boss, an old friend, complains he can't get me to work the required 15 hours a week. I told him I quit a good job once and if he fires me I will draw unemployment. Probably get $15 bucks a week.

I do wonder though if the site could generate income from bars and restaurants that want to advertise certain teams. In Dallas I know of 3 bars that show UT games, 1 LSU, 1 OU, several Cowboys, 1 Texas Tech, 1 Viking, 1 Packers, and on and on. Some might like to get the word out and it could go national?

Plus Dude when I was your age I was at the game or home. No way momma would let me hang at the bar. Hell now she likes to get rid of me ever once and a while. Too bad I don't live near you. I could come over, bring some of my lazy ass friends, eat your snacks and drink your beer. After a short while your wife would be happy to see you go to the game or bar. Genius!

This post was freaking classic. No seriously walk me through your idea. So would you want folks to wear headphones in the bar??? Plus anything that gets me out of my house and away from the old last is a plus. Trying to understand how folks can listen to music AND listen to a game in the same bar (without pissing one another off).

OK..the problem is you can'tlisten to the game with the jukebox playing. My idea is to find places, especially those with cold beer and big screens to watch sporting events and have the sound on the game. There must be places that do and I would like to put them on a site where fans could open the site and find two things..

First..a place to watch their team with other fans..

Two..where they turn the volumn on the tv's up and the jukebox off..

and they do not have to be mutually exclusive..I was in Seattle for a year and never did find a Cowboys bar..Later after leaving I found two..with my site I could have found one in seconds..and sold advertising...

Come watch the Longhorns and listen to the game not elevator music....Hell yes..

Now I see my friend. How about we start a "MUSIC FREE" Sportbars website? I like the slogan though bro - "Watch Games, don't listen to elevator music." HOOKEM

We could use Mr Rogers as a spokesman for anyone wanting to hear the jukebox The answer:
