Re:Cedar Rapids Panther Nation Gamewatch

There will be a Cedar Rapids gamewatch Sat. at the Starlite Room Tavern.
Game time is 5:00 P.M. CST. Get there early.

This is a place we've used in the past. Great burgers .

The Starlite Room Tavern
3300 1st. Ave. N.E.
319-362-4759

Its on the corner of !st. Ave. and 33rd St. N.E.
Behind the Dairy Queen.

They would like a head count.
If you plan on going please PM me with your numbers.

I checked it out today. 3 big screens in the main room off the bar. We tuned in DirectTV 616 and viewed a BYU/Utah game from last yr., so should be good to go.

Re: Panther Nation Gamewatch

I've heard the Starlight for Cedar Rapids.

Does anyone know about either the Buffalo Wild Wings? Preferably the one on Blairs Ferry?

I called several other places but they want to know how many people will be there before committing any space. At this point I only know of 2.

Join us at the starlite.

Re: Panther Nation Gamewatch

Where is everyone in the Des Moines metro area meeting to watch the big Game against BYU this Saturday?

I was thinking about Legends on Court Ave.

I hate that people are going to Beck's. God, I hate Barmuda.

I think I might just go to Mulligans.

I've never been to this place but it works for me. I'll be there. Right now it's just me but I'm working on a couple more people! I might not be able to get there til right before kickoff though.

Re: Panther Nation Gamewatch

Not sure why this is such a taboo thing for some. What it tells me is that the other sports bars need to do a better job with service and cater to UNI fans more.

I used to be a Pepper's or OP guy 100% of the time, but Beck's on the Hill is more Panther-centric and the food and service is just better (most of the time).

I still go to the OP if I want pizza And I still head to Pepper's from time to time when I'm in town, but we've been trending toward Beck's on the Hill. They do a nice job there.

Beck's is a GREAT restaurant to eat at during the day, and I eat there frequently. Decent priced food and it's pretty damn good.

The way that they run it as a nightclub, however, kind of leaves a sour taste in your mouth. Cover unless you can produce UNI ID? They made my parents pay $3 each to get in one night and they're over 50.

The night I showed up as a DD to get some friends and they would not let me in without $3 cover because it was after 11 sealed it for me. I even offered to let them mark DD on my hands and they wouldn't let me through the door unless I produced $3.

I've never found a nightclub that I've enjoyed. But then, I'm not really into that scene.

Methinks that this Saturday, from 4-ish until 9-ish, Beck's on the Hill be most definitely qualify as more of a sports bar and grill than a nightclub.

Re: Panther Nation Gamewatch

I believe there is a Buffalo Wild Wings in Dubuque and just ask if they'll tune to Directv Channel 616.
Also, you might want to see if Bricktown in downtown Dubuque has Directv. If they do, they have great food and a nice atmosphere.

After some calling around to determine who has the Mountain Channel....

GAMEWATCH DUBUQUE:
Courtside Bar and Grill
2095 Holiday Drive (I'm told it's kiddy-corner from Sam's club)

My parents live outside of Dubuque and I've been to this palce a few times to watch some games. It's a good place. It's huge with a lot of TV's although a lot of small ones on the side. Around the bar they have some nice HDTV's. It should be a good atmosphere if you get enough Panther fans there. They have good food too!

It's off of HWY 20 about a mile just off of NW Arteriel on the NW side of town.

Re: Panther Nation Gamewatch

I was thinking the Okoboji Grill off of 86th St exit.

I was thinking about Legends on Court Ave.

Either of these sounds good. Has anyone checked to make sure they have that channel or if they plan on showing it? Also, is there any chance of getting the audio feed for the game at either of these places? If not, I might just prefer to listen to Gary on the radio at home.

Re: Panther Nation Gamewatch

You know in some places, they make EVERYONE pay cover. And it's MUCH more than $3. (Besides with all of the inflationary pressure today, $3 is more like $2.50 now.)

We're spoiled in CF and even in Iowa as a whole that things are so cheap.



Back topic - Are there any Gamewatches in Okoboji?

There will now be 3 of us going there for sure, maybe a couple more but they are undecided right now because they actually get the channel! But we are at least bringing 3!
