I think that could be a lot of fun. Especially the new theaters with lounge chairs and good food available. I'd certainly consider it.
Would you go watch Penn State football games in a movie theater?

some...they have to have a license. But people have been known to sneak beer into the stadium or theater.
LOLsome...they have to have a license. But people have been known to sneak beer into the stadium or theater.
my uncle bought binoculars that had a case that he could stuff four beers in. He'd have one person wear the binoculars and the other the case.
This is actually a fantastic idea, but personally I don’t think I would go to a movie theater vs having friends and family over my own house.
They used to do something like this with pay per view boxing back in the Ali/Frazier/Foreman days. The big screen was pretty cool.
Not for me. I can get pretty agitated watching the games. If things aren’t going well it can ugly.
only if a "happy ending" is a simply PSU victory.
one of the best spectator sports events I had was going to a Chicago sports bar when the Bulls were playing the Ewing led Knicks. I was out of town on biz and went by myself to get wings to take back to the hotel room. There was lots of energy so I had a beer while waiting for my order. People around me started to high-five and include me like I was a bulls fan (I am not but went with it just the same). Bulls hit a last second shot and the young lady at one of the nearby tables turned to me and gave me a big smooch. That was fun!
Serious next level “bread and circus “ vibes going on here, but yeah, I’d give it a try…especially the bowl games. —But Pretty sure I’d ultimately default to gathering in the living room with my friends, though.…always a good time.
well, I have no friends so.....(except this board which my wife calls my "imaginary friends")
If I lived in Cleveland (did in 79-80) I know that we would be friends.
So, you got that going for you.
Gonna say no.
Bars are constructed to allow movement and interaction with fellow patrons.
Traditional movie theaters are constructed to sit stationary and not interact with people around you.
I think you'd have to have MPAA ratings by opponent based on the level of profanity and expected misbehavior when things aren't going well. Michigan and Ohio State would probably be NC-17 most years. Iowa and Illinois right now might be R and most of the rest PG-13 or PG.
I’m not sure if I’d go watch at a regular theater. Watching at one of those Alamo Drafthouses that’s a bar/theater combos would definitely be worth trying out.
That would be awesome. Especially an IMax with the tremendous surround sound! It would be like being there without the nineteen inch seats.
A wine and cheese 🍷 🧀 tasting to go along with the game might be apropos. 😂
Not unless they could create a tailgating atmosphere in the theater.
I'm still waiting for games to be broadcast in 3D/VR.
I behave better with company but without I tend to get on the stationary bike and pedal away or throw up some weights or pace around the room like some kind of caged animal.
Very coolsome...they have to have a license. But people have been known to sneak beer into the stadium or theater.
You bring up a valid point. There would likely be a few in the theater that would negatively impact the experience. It happens in a stadium too but I think it may be more personal in a theater.
I would not watch in a theatre. I like to watch PSU and Phillies with just my sons. I get hyper focused and like to follow stats. All the extra people would just distract me. I would watch other games in a theatre but not Phillies/PSU.
I know it sounds weird
Why not? Just a different venue of a watch party. Those big events play themselves out all over the place. Outdoors, basketball arenas, downtowns….
I saw Hagler/Hearns that way, but not in a movie theater, in a civic center.
