During an FM dial scan in March, I heard this excerpt from a commercial: "They have massive TVs. You can watch all the games in comfier seats. Better food, better beers...Hundreds of games to play, as well...I mean, these TVs are monstrous."
I don't know the name or the location of the venue that was advertised. For those who want to see the World Series, Super Bowl, or Stanley Cup on a larger-than-life screen, I'm sure the huge TVs are an effective draw. Still, for those want something more out of the experience, I have to think that no jumbo screen trumps watching the game with people you care about at your home or a friend or relative's home. I suspect most people, if they're honest, react to at least some big games the way Future Ted did in an episode of "How I Met Your Mother." Years later, when recalling a time when his four friends and he watched the Super Bowl together, he says, "I don't remember who won. I don't even remember who played..."
I imagine most people are like that.
