That's exactly why you should put in a High Yellow for a trip that will have you sitting in a good layover bar, beer in hand, when the game comes on, not sitting at home, waiting for the phone to ring...with a dry mouth and a loud wife. Some of my best game watching was on layovers, because the Wife was AT HOME! In fact, a year ago for the Super Bowl, I was in SYD on a layover.
But we found a bar open, the game came on at 10am Monday Morning (local time). We talked them into firing up the pizza ovens too! We were the only ones in the place until about noon and had 5 big screen TV's all to ourselves, so everyone on every side of the table could see the game. Lots of pizza, beer, and plenty of time to recover when the game ended, about 2pm local!
