Where's a good place to watch the Lions outside of the blackout radius?



My friends and I are die-hard lions fans and we want to drive outside the blackout radius and catch the game at a bar. Does anyone have any good suggestions?  I think the radius is 75 miles from detroit, but I'm not certain.  I'm sure there are bars out there where lions fan unite and watch. Also, I'm sure we're not the only crazy fans with this idea!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Unless anyone has specific suggestions, probably any sports bar, but you might want to call them first before driving out, to make sure they’re far enough outside the boz to carry the game.

Is Toledo outside of the blackout area? If so, I’d suggest Scarletts or Platinums…
might not watch much of the game though ;-)

Toledo is in blackout zone

Although the two places you mentioned may help you forget the game! In the end, It would probably be cheaper to keep driving till you get outside the Zone.

mmmmmmmmmmm

tacos

Just Remember matt... what would Daunte do??

Yeah

Likewise with Det32, I have friends in Jackson who are subject to the blackout, so I think the closest place to catch a game would probably be Battle Creek

Grand Rapids

I know for sure grand rapids is not blacked out. I live in lansing and we are blacked out which is kind of rediculous. Some good roof antennas reach pretty far.

Yep, GR is free and clear

All games are televised here. Go Lions!

I live in the Saginaw area

And I’m outside of the freaking blackout radius, but where we get our cable from isn’t. Buncha shit.

Same here

I’m in Midland, well outside the blackout range. Lame

Have you thought about going to

Aruba? That way, even if the game turns out poorly, at least you can have a good time at the bar!

better off

Based on how they played I think we are better off not watching. I just listened on my sat radio a little bit.
