Is there a bar or other area that would be showing the Packers/New York game :football::football: Sunday Oct 9 so hubby could leave the Magic Kingdom to watch that while I stay to catch that last parade and we can meet up after? Maybe at the Contemporary or Poly?
Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I've seen a tv in the Poly lounge and I think there is one in the bar area of the Outer Rim at the Contemporary. I'm not sure what they would have them tuned to but I would guess he could request that they tune in the game he wants to watch.

The ESPN Club on the Boardwalk. If you have park hopper tickets, you can take the monorail from Magic Kingdom over to Epcot, walk through Epcot to the back gate and walk over to the Boardwalk. The ESPN Club will be on the left side as you walk up from Epcot. If you don't have park hoppers, you will have to use the buses and go to the Boardwalk resort.

Where are you guys staying? Could he go back to the room to watch the game?

I know it's more exciting to watch from a bar or lounge, but going back to the room could be an option.

ESPN club on boardwalk is the best option - though as mentioned the big screen in the Poly lounge often has football games on though it might not be your game.

Have gone many times to ESPN to watch college basketball over the years...

As many have suggested, ESPN club on the Boardwalk is the most likely place where he will be able to watch his particular game. I suggest he hop on the bus to the Boardwalk Inn and Villas at MK then walk down the stairs to the Boardwalk when dropped off at the hotel. You can follow this same route when the parade is done

Since it's an evening game (8:30 EST), it'll be the only football game being broadcast, and most of the above mentioned bars/lounges will have it televised.

But, it won't really be the typical "football atmosphere" unless you head to ESPN.

Thanks for all the suggestions!! We are staying at POR but ESPN would be more football festive! Maybe we should see how many miles we log walking that day & he can decide if he wants to lay on a bed in a quiet room or cheer with a crowd! You guys are the best :thumbsup:
