I co-managed one sports bar and owned outright another in the Northeast. I will whole-heartedly concur with two previous posters about the per-seat charge. he restartuant I managed was a very popular place and we had ALL of the events, inluding PPV Boxing and MMA events. Typically, a PPV Boxing match would cost me about $1500.00 for the ONE event. This was all pre-Satellite days, but I can only imagine the costs of the baseball package. O'Sheas is the only place I know of that has the entire baseball package, Cody's, Friday's et al do not.

Everyone has their opinion about what they like to watch, in an eatery or not. I am partial to soccer. I know teams national and international, as well as players. I rarely watch pro baseball, I'll watch the LLWS. Kids playing the sport without prejudice. Enjoy the eatery, the food, the fellowship, a good time was had by all.

I agree. Plus, when we want a quiet meal or one with friends in order to visit, we don't go to a sports restaurant. But when we're grabbing a quick lunch or dinner, it's nice to see what's on the sports channel tvs. We happen to love baseball and enjoy seeing the games while eating. You don't have to have the sound on to follow sports games.

But I didn't know what the price was for baseball channels for restaurants. Wonder what the football cost is, college and pro? Gotta be enormous, and I wonder if baseball would be a drop in the bucket compared to football. (love pro football too.)

Amazing they would not have a few TVs showing a ball game. I wonder why? Can't be the cost.
