Default I'm here in occupied Raider Country

I've been here since '90 living by the bay. To see any games on TV I have to get the Sunday Ticket. Only the 49ers sell out. All Raider games are blacked out locally.

Tough times for the NFL here in Northern California.

49ers turf myself. It's tough to see such a proud football town be so bad for so long. Raders fans are the worst. But would love to watch some pats games with pats fans!

SoCal here- live right outside of LA; moved from Boston in 2007. I've been to San Fran/Oakland a few times in the past couple of months, and I like it up there a lot better. Moving up asap.

Sunnyvale checking in. Been here almost 15yrs. For the sake of my marriage and kids, I don't subscribe to DirecTV or else I'd be glued to the TV all day every fall Sunday, so I catch the Pats at local bars (my 3hr *me time*).

In '94, caught games at SJ Live in downtown SJ, but the place was a zoo, Pats always put on a crap TV, and eventually shut down due to a new city ordinance on paying for extra police on weekends.

From '95-'98, caught games at The Blue Bonnett in Sunnyvale. The owner was a 49ers season ticket holder and a big richard, so I loved when he'd be gone when the 49ers were home. Decent contingent of Pats fans as we typically got "the big screen" instead of a small TV.

From '99-'06, caught games at The Pe******* Lounge, first in Cupertino, then in Sunnyvale when they moved. I miss the Cupertino location as they served a good steak-and-eggs. The new location is more of a bar and the TVs suck. Place is the local "Bears bar", so if you're from Chicago that's where to be.

My new bar is the Brittania Arms in Cupertino. Lots of big screen TVs and the Pats are always shown on one of them with the audio cranked up. Decent contingent of Pats fans. The food isn't great, but not horrible. Owner is cool as he manages the TVs well to make sure Pats fans are set up nicely with a good TV. If you're in the area, head on over and meet me on Sundays.

Regards,
Chris

Checking in from the Palm Springs area via San Diego via Florida via Arlington.

Former season ticket holder in the early to mid 90's. Moved to San Diego in '07 before moving to the desert late last year. Thank God for DirecTV which I've been a loyal subscriber to as there are no Boston sports bars that I've found out this way.
