Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

How many people go to bars to watch games so that they can watch with other fans? This would offer far better picture/sound quality.

A lot less people go to sports bars than they used to for the games but you can still get all the games on a bunch of different tv's, any drink from Hamm's to great craft brews, any cocktail or shot you want, and good pub grub. Plus the whole social aspect of being in a bar, talking to friends, trying to pick up women...

People hardly even go to movie theaters anymore for movies, I don't see any appeal with watching a game there. People have home theaters, you have the ability to flip around at home, the ability to watch every game at a bar. You would be eating worse food than a bar, worse alcohol and the markup would be even higher.

I still don't know if this was a joke tweet.

Frankly if there was a theatre showing the FF locally that would have been pretty great. if I was younger . The thing is do you want to. create a sports bar setting or a family atmosphere. Taking the kids grandkids to a theatre filled will fans is almost as good a taking a kid in person game to create a long term fans .
 
You can go watch UGA away football games at the Georgia Theater and it's a great atmosphere. Going to a theater to watch the game on the big screen with other fans is an awesome idea. Don't hate.

After seeing Oppenheimer last weekend at IMax having to cover my ears while watching a subpar huge screen picture I can honestly say the experience would have been better with my 55-in U8H and my 5.1 sound. Football? No way. Go there or go home.

Seems foreign. People go to bars to socialize, watch a game, and eat and drink.
Sitting in a row where you essentially take a group and cut it down to the person on your right and left seems counter to the bar experience.
Never been to a theater for sporting event. Maybe it’s a different atmosphere than a movie. How fun is it if you cheer and everyone turns around and says shhhh?!!!

Sports bars thrive in big cities because the average 20-something fan doesn't have enough room in their 600sqft apartment to have 10-20 people over to watch a game.

They don't consistently get people like they used to. It changed when everyone could get cheap huge tv's at home and it's only exacerbated now because young people are less social than previous generations and they drink less than previous generations.
 
The movie idea and that it is being marketed as a benefit of the ACC is another obvious, flailing attempt to show additional and future upside for their conference membership. It is the equivalent of looking under couch cushions and I imagine the bottom line impact will be negligible. Anyone who has a nice TV and is aware of streaming options has already discovered the irrelevance of a movie theatre. Everyone sitting in the same direction, stadium seating - in the dark - is not a social experience. The watching experience even if you like movie seating is marginally better at best.

Folks may not think it's going to work, but what exactly is the risk? Minimal cost, since I'm sure movie places are only too anxious to rent out a theater, especially for alternative use.

It's an e x p e r i m e n t.

The way folks are talking it's like they mortgaged their entire business on the idea.
 
It's an experiment ESPN has already run before. They had the playoffs and championship game in movie theatres for a couple years now.

But also, movies are still a social experience. See Glass Onion's audience scores theatrically and from streaming, not to mention the Minions or Barbenheimer. It's less universal than it was in 1920 or 1990, but it's still there.
 
A friend and I drove over the hump on I-70 and took our sons to a Broncos game in Denver a few years ago. We were in an upper tier of seats, and there was a guy with earbuds seated a few rows down from us, at the very front of the tier. There was nothing between him and the field below but empty space and a railing. It soon became obvious that his attention was focused on the broadcast rather than the game. When something particularly exciting or potentially game-changing happened, 65 or 70 thousand frenzied fans would immediately jump to their feet and thunderously cheer or boo or whatever. All except that guy. With an unobstructed view of the action right in front of him, he'd remain seated and wouldn't react until he heard an account of the play on the radio.
