Hi All -- I am going to be in your fine city this week and wanted to know if there would be any bars/restaurants where I might be able to catch the SuperLiga final on Wednesday night? It is broadcast on the Spanish language network TeleFutura. I am pretty sure I can watch it online on the SuperLiga site, but I would much rather grab a few beers and catch the game on a real television. Thanks for your help!
TeleFuture is on the basic Comcast cable package so most bars will have the match, its just a question of whether they'll put it on for you - plus the Red Sox are playing at New York this week which will make it extra difficult. Where in Boston are you going to be?
The SuperLiga final doesn't start till 11 ET, so the Yank-mes and Red Sox game really shouldn't conflict. But then again, it is baseball and four hour games aren't out of the ordinary.
Ah! I forgot about the Yanks-Sox...I thought they had a weekend series, damn. I'll be downtown at the Hilton on Broad St
This is kind of off topic, but the viewing soccer thing reminded me of how getting FSC has changed my life. Until now, I've been limited to what ESPN offers, and the occasional Spanish language telecast. The Fox Soccer Report is my favirote, I've never been able to catch up on things like this before. Thank you FIOS for putting FSC on the standard package.
Just a couple blocks from your hotel, at Broad and State streets, is Kitty O' Shea's, which is somewhat soccer-friendly, and may or may not put it on for you. A little further away, about a 15 minute walk, at 197 Portland St near the Garden is McGann's, which is definitely a soccer bar and I imagine would put on the game. But you can always call ahead Kitty's: 617-725-0100 McGann's 617-227-4059
You might want to try the Times Irish Bar at 112 Broad Street. Its walking distance from the hotel. They show EPL on the weekends. Comcast is channel 50 DirecTV is channel 66 Good luck.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will give one of the 3 recommended establishments a try...probably McGann's.
