Good sports bars make travel more palatable

by | Jun 23, 2010 | Where to watch the game

I just wrote a post on our sister site, brushbackpitch.com, that was mostly a rant on a rough day. But it also dealt with a topic I think we can help each other out with.

Have you ever been on the road, traveling for business or taking a family vacation, and wondered where you might be able to stop and watch your favorite team play?

I ended up through bad weather and flight cancellations tonight in Schaumburg, Ill. While I would have preferred being at home, the front desk workers at my hotel made my life easier by pointing me in the direction of a store where I could get a change of clothes and by telling me about a sports bar where I could get a discounted meal and watch a bunch of ballgames to pass the time.

In return, if I happen to be in Schaumburg again for some reason, I’ll probably patronize both the Wingate by Wyndham hotel and the The Fox and Hound pub again. What other team specific or general sports bars have you come across on your road trips that you’d like to point out to our readers?

Thank you for the feedback.
