If my sports bar is in NW Iowa, I'd have a great golf simulator

Oh, happened to find this at Barley Forge brewing for lunch today...

Given that my bar, wherever it is, will be a Purdue game watch bar, this'll be on the menu :72:

I think I don't much care for sports bars.  I'd rather watch at home.  The food at any I've visited is mediocre and boring.  There are of course some restaurants that have 5-6 TVs on sports things, which is different at times.  I've even been in some nice restaurants with a couple TVs over the bar, which is OK with me.  The bar area often is separated from main dining.

It can be nice to snag an after dinner drink at the bar.  TVs there days are SO cheap.  Any time I walk in Costco I am amazed and musing about buying a new one.

The wife declares the one we have is fine, but it's 1 K, 70", but 1 K.  I feel so inadequate.

My tired eyes don't care how many K's are with a TV. Anything HD works just fine.

I'll probably spring for a new one when we make our next move. Probably go a little bigger and that's it. I'll put the one I have outside on the lanai or whatever.

I'm not a big bar person either. That's why if I were to own one, it would be more known for its food than for the sports. Anyone can watch sports, anywhere, after all. You have to differentiate, and that's where the good food comes in.

I can enjoy the atmosphere at the sports bar when opposing fans are gathered for a game

such as the Husker-Hawk game here in Western Iowa or the Cyclone-Hawk game - some good emotions and passions are flowing

I can also enjoy a Watch Party with the bar filled with mostly Husker fans for any Husker game.  Comradery is good.  I  do however insist on standing near the TV so my view is not obstructed.

probably the most useful is after the Husker game is over, I can check in on 5-10 other games that are all on at the same time while I relax, have some food and drink with friends.  This was MUCH more fun when the Huskers were nationally prominent and those other games mattered in conference and poll standings.

I mostly just have 3 or 4 friends over to my living room for Husker games.  My 65 inch screen in my small LR is more than adequate.  Very few distractions I can't control.  The food is good the drinks are good and the price is right.
