Where to watch a college football game at Disney World?

[sudokujesus]

So I'm coming into Disney on a Saturday afternoon and will be eating dinner at Yachtsman. We want to catch the end of a football game and were wondering what our best options are. We know we are walking distance to the ESPN Club, but that looks like a sit down place to eat (and we will have already eaten) as opposed to a more bar-like atmosphere with TVs.

Worst case we watch it back at the hotel but was hoping for something cooler.

ESPN has a dedicated bar section in it. You wouldn't have to be seated or eat.

ESPN Club as Eric B Johnson pointed out. However, depending on the time of your game and who else is playing prior & during your game, it can be difficult to just walk up and sit at the bar.

Just as another option on The Boardwalk. Big River Grille also has TV's (though only a few) so game selection may be difficult there. Another post on property people forget is Splitsville in Disney Springs. They have a LOT of TV's and most people would not think to go to a bowling alley to watch a football game.

You also have Shula's in the Dolphin as well.

Where are you staying? The resort bars and pool bars should have them on the tv. I have planned two Disney days around college football.

One we ordered pizza and watched in the room..taking a break to watch Wishes from the balcony.

The other, we rented a cabana at GF (day game)... but there was a crowd at the pool bar watching it as well.. we walked up to the bar for a few minutes to join in with the crowd.. one of my favorite Disney Days ever!!

Depends on the game as well though.. people here had me worried that the bars may not show my game last November.. I'm fairly confident that all of them did. We ran into people all evening who were also in team gear or even those who weren't were heckling or high diving us.

I was in OSU gear, my friend was in Michigan gear. It was so great.

Martha's Vinyard, at the Beach Club, often have games showing. It's a lovely lounge / bar and not usually busy.

Now I don't know what channels they would show, and if you could request they turn it to the college game? But certainly a possibility.

We are staying at All-Star Music, and the game will be Auburn vs. Clemson, prime time game on ESPN so I feel sure it will be shown everywhere. ESPN is owned by Disney after all!

We will look into Martha's Vinyard. That sounds like it could be perfect.

Oh yeah, that will be shown for sure. Have fun!!!
