South Texas people

I may be moving near Catoula, Tx. Just in time for the start of the season. Not real excited about it but the economy sucks and Nola is a ****ing cesspool. What is the best way to watch games without having to pay an arm and a leg. I’ll get NFL network if I have to but would rather not. I’m fine with just Saints and whatever else is in my viewing area. I really don’t want to have to watch on my computer either. Suggestions?

Don't you own a restaurant? I hope that you didn't lose your business due to "the current thing".

edit: Fairbanks, Alaska could use a new restaurant...

You poor Bastard! Here is my suggestion. In that area there will be lots of Saints fans. Some bar close by will show all the game and go there. Turn it into a Saints Bar.

Assuming you mean Cotulla, you will most likely be driving to San Antone or Corpus Christi.

Texas is great.

Fast internet ...

Good Streaming service ...

Nvidia Shield (gaming device) or Firestick, a good router ...

And a solid VPN.

Hell, I’m going to be in the middle of nowhere. The nearest bar will be almost an hour away.
When I lived in Charlotte I did exactly what you said. Found a sports bar that had 4-5 rooms with different games on. Charlotte is a transient city so they had a room dedicated to Pittsburg another to NY etc. One room was empty so I asked if they would put on the Saints game. It was just me at first and it was in 06. Every week more and more Saints fans started showing up. It’s where I saw the reopening of the dome, U2/Green Day and the blocked punt. I had just gotten back from Louisiana helping my family rebuild and it was emotional as hell. Everyone in the bar was a Saints fan that night. As the season went on Saints fans filled the place and by the next season Saints games were on the big screen in the main bar area. Man, good memories.

Yea, the current thing is definitely playing it’s part in the decision. We are also getting too old for it. My wife and I have a few food trucks and this summer is kicking our ass. All kitchens are hot but mobile kitchens are a thing from hell. No A/C and very close quarters so you feel every BTU your equipment puts out it seems like. Getting hit with rising food costs, propane, gas, and diesel all at once is a perfect storm of ****. When we opened our plan was to be out this year anyway but we were hoping to go the brick and mortar route again. It’s just not the time for it. The Texas job is an amazing opportunity but the availability of Saints games is pretty high up on our cons list.
