rudy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think so!Sooooo who'll be streaming the game over the web for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I just spent a great deal of time researching sports bars outside the 75 mile radius. I'm going to see the game no matter what.......And let me save anyone the time who is going to suggest that I go to the game. I just got finished paying for my daughter's 4 years in college and her wedding this April.I'm lucky when I can eat meat..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formul8or Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm sure it will get blacked out which sucks. I'd buy a ticket but my job doesn't start until January. I did my part stopping the blackout for Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously - Congrats on the wedding, although little girls are hard to give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought if you had Sunday Ticket regardless of location you could still watch the game?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoticov Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I thought if you had Sunday Ticket regardless of location you could still watch the game??Doesn't matter if you have Sunday Ticket or not, if you are in the blackout area, you will get blacked out also. I believe it is within 75miles of the Dome, like gritz stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gritz Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I can totally empathize, Gritz. Been there, done that. But seriously - Congrats on the wedding, although little girls are hard to give up! I did alright until the Father-Daughter dance....She picked the lullaby that Billy Joel wrote for his daughter. The year before she bought tickets for herself and me to go see Joel at Philips (my Christmas present from her)......She's a great kid. I'm lucky to be her old man.....and I even like my son-in-law.....More important than that though is the fact that I could still take him if I had to.......

Duff_Man Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I thought if you had Sunday Ticket regardless of location you could still watch the game??Completely FALSE. Only way around that is to set up an address in another city and install the dish yourself. I did that to get the locals back in 2001...I changed my billing address to my sister's place in Philly until Harrisburg got locals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You one upped me there. My son in law is 6'3" 240 Played center and guard at Ferris State (IL) and coaches H.S. football, so he stays in shape :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn't waste my cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood'sblaze Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I live in Columbus-97 miles away- I will see all 16 games this year, sitting on my couch, and pounding some beers with some local high school girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is within 75miles of the Dome, like gritz stated.Sunday Ticket is IN FACT a black out when Local TV is blacked out.I watch it on the radio when I am in that situation, 'cept I bought ST's, now gas availability seems like the next obstacle, I drive 500 miles round trip..

Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Is it being carried by CBS or Fox? I think it's CBS but can someone confirm? Reason I ask is my cable system here carries the CBS affiliate from Macon but not the Fox affiliate from Macon. I thought by law they had to carry all the over the air affiliates but apparently not.Anyway if it's CBS, I'm all set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ryan Fan Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Just bought tickets to this Sunday's game. Just hope the gas shortage and prices aren't a factor come this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Will somebody put a sticky thread here on Sunday letting us know where on the web we can catch the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I just spent a great deal of time researching sports bars outside the 75 mile radius.That's gotta be at least $30 worth of gas round trip. Even if you drink Cokes and eat dried up chicken fingers in the sports bar that's another $15.You'd be better off buying a $3 marta pass and heading down to the dome to pick up one of Blank's $25 specials or one of the $15 scalper tickets wouldn't you?
