Spanish TV during the Confed Cup I don't have much expierence watching soccer on Spanish Language television so I have a few questions. I only get Telefutura, Univision and Telemundo, but most of the US games are on Galavision. Will Univision or Telemundo show the US games? If they don't where are places that will be showing the games? If anybody can help me, thanks a bunch.
Re: Spanish TV during the Confed Cup Nope. Here's the full schedule. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=1168658#post1168658 Also, I modified the title of this thread to keep it more on topic for this board.
i can't believe summers is charging 10 to see the confederations cup when these games will be available for free on telefutura, galavision and univision.
Looks like the Lucky Bar is charging $10 for the confed cup too- http://www.soccer-nation.com/TV Schedule.htm As you said futbolrey, what's up with the charge?
Actually at Lucky Bar, it's a $10 minimum, which means you can watch the games as long as you eat or drink.
This is the fine print on the Summers website = With the purchase of $15 or more, the cover charge for Confederations Cup games will be credited towards your check. So basically don't plan on sitting there and nursing a Coke for 2 hrs. K
Last time I watched a game there (US-Mex) it was supposedly a $10 minimum,but they didnt' enforce it (on me at least). I think as long as it's a busy night and people are generally eating and drinking, they don't check up on how much people spend.
Every time that I've frequented Summers or the Lucky Bar or Capitol Lounge I've dropped a minimum of $20 on myself as a matter of principle. On most ocassions I spend closer to $30 plus a handsome 30 % tip. This minimum charge stuff makes me think twice about giving them my business. Tim
How anyone can avoid spending $10 at a bar is beyond me. You must be either a teatotal or cheapskate, neither or which rate in my book.
It's clearly not directed at you. I usually spend about $20 myself, plus a decent tip. $10 isn't too much to ask to spend for two hours at someone's establishment. In addition, I've never actually seen it enforced at Summer's. P.S. The mimimum requirement has been listed on Summer's website for at least 2 years.
so when Summer's has $10 down for each game...is that really $10 for EACH game...or more like $10 for the evening (i.e., 2 matches)?
quit your crying about 10 bucks! That's just a way to wave off all the cheapscapes that show up and take up space. Word out is that the Turkey supporters will show up in numbers for the US-Thanksgiving nation next thursday. We gotta get early and take up the place!
If you go and order dinner and a drink you can sit there all night. It's really to weed out the water sippers. K
OK, so I've decided I need to be there next Thursday and Saturday. Screw the Thanksgiving Food supporters, I know damn well that we'll overwhelm that bar.
I'm not sure, but I met a real nice young lady Terri that works there and she said they were really impressed by the turnout the other night. She told me that she had spoken with the general manager and thought they should buy the Shootout package. A new soccer bar might have been born that night.
Sounds Cool CHICO13. I was just hoping to avoid making the trek to summers when Grevey's is just around the corner.
Can someone call Grevey's today and ask if they can get Galavision, Telefutura and Univision? (If they have a decent satellite package they should be able to). You can refer to this thread for the Cup sched and tv info. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=52727 Explain to them the tournament details, like it's for 2 weeks (remind them of the overflow of people at Summers during the World Cup). I'm going to do some other checking around town and post here. Let's get a few options. K
OT: Places in Richmond Any of the Richmond folk know of a place that is showing the games? I have been too lazy to call Penny Lane and since I have just moved down don't know of any other soccer friendly places.
Soccer Times reports a change in schedule by Galavision to put the two weekday games only on in the evening through tape delay. Don't know if it's accurate; link below: http://www.soccertimes.com/international/2003/jun14.htm
