Where is the best place to watch the games this weekend? I am coming in Friday and would like to catch the game. Is anyone else planning on watching?

The only place in town that will have this on TV is El Alamo. Which is a fine destination.

Some but certainly not all of the games are on your local tv. Check the sportspage of the BA Herald on game day for the tv lineup. Any restaurant / bar / hotel with cable should have it if it is part of the cable offerings for that day although it will not be in English. Anothe AP poster and myself had a dining room in a Recoleta restaurant all to ourselves as we watched the Pats-Chargers game.

Most college football games, regular season baseball, NFL, and hockey games, etc, can be watched only at the Alamo, but. Any of the big sporting events can be watched at many locations around town, including NFL playoff games.

Perhaps the Super Bowl is on broadcast TV, and if you get ESPN Deportes on your cable package you can typically get the Monday Night Game (in English if you use the SAP button) But other than that, Argie sports bars don't show US sports. Maybe if you bribe the bartender and you have the good fortune to have a place all to yourself it would be possible to get the occasional US sporting event in Spanish. But that's a circumstance that's so rare as to be worthless when it comes to advice. However, if you really have to watch a soccer game between Racing and Lanus, or Quilmes and River Plate, you can certainly go to Locos Para Futbol.

On the other hand, for several years El Alamo has had all major US sporting events on TV, in English, available for their customers. And that's certainly worth spending the minimum 15 pesos in food or drink, that they ask of customers.

Big football day. What's going on in BsAs? Casa Bar? Alamo? El Sid?

Mongers,

El Alamo will be showing both games, one or more of which will ONLY be available via slingbox, and thus only shown at El Alamo.

Suerte,
