I've been to my fair share of places to watch sports. As they were advertising a NFL Draft Special, we decided to reserve a place in their stadium seating to watch the draft. Huge TV, couches, and beforehand they were going to have a round-table discussion with some former and current NFL players (Joey Porter, AJ Feeley, etc). Sound perfect, right?
Wrong. Everything was good up until about pick #20 and they were well on their way to a 4 star rating. Food was OK, service was good. we were enjoying ourselves. Then the Lakers-Thunder game started and they switched over the big screen and the sound to basketball. Apparently, the sportsbook controls what the TVs show and we were told that they wanted something you could bet on to be on the big screen. So basically you have a room full of people who came to watch the draft now missing the end of it and forced to watch the first quarter of a boring first round Game 3. Seriously Lagasse, why advertise a "NFL Draft Viewing Party" and then turn it off three quarters of the way through? I didnt come here to watch it on a tiny TV with no sound. Not cool.
