[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 12053, member: 51"] PWT - pending you are correct - and that remains to be seen - then our Club will not have all that great a season since the Packers being on regular TV all the time causes most members to just stay home... it saves money, sure.. and it also lets families enjoy bring the kids up properly with being Cheeseheads... I'll always support that... but our best season as a Club lately was when most of the games were NOT being televised by FOX or CBS, etc... Trust me, it ain't easy coming up with ways to draw people out of their Hobbit holes to watch the games... Even I would stay home from time to time if I could... In 2002 at our last Hangout - it was a smaller little bar - which is like most Bars you see around Wisconsin.. and during the first Vikings game that season - (we kicked butt, as usual) - we had over 150 fans show up... as word was getting out that the Club was back on its feet.... and we broke that Bar's local fire law - it was great! We've already done the overflowing trick in our Hangout at F&H now - but that's only for the room they let us have..... this Establishment can hold up to 499 customers.. Now, if they were to abide by the actual **** agreement we did - then most times, we'd see about 150 members showing up every week pending the game's not on regular TV. Most of the time when we've overflowed the setup - it's because other fans come in and hog the seats for spite... We're working on correcting that situation this year... the idea being other non-packerfans should wait till after the first quarter before trying to raid our turf... Currently, they are re-working the interior of the place to support a couple more LARGE screens in two rooms which should rule most of that nonsense out.. We're hoping to have another one of our great "Bears Still Suck" Tailgate parties this year... and a few other things... 30 days to go, gents (and ladies) - Pre-season is just around the corner....
