Sports broadcasts at El Alamo
[blue]Greetings everyone,
When I go to a bar to watch a major sporting event on the TV in the company of other sports fans, I generally prefer to listen to the play-by-play and color commentary of the announcers, hear the sound of the crowd at the event, etc. However, it seems that lately at El Alamo they have decided that loud music is the preferred background audio for a sporting event instead of the broadcast's own sound track.
Hey, maybe it's just me, and one thing for sure, Peter's latest marketing moves have definitely brought in more traffic, so it's quite possible that I'm in the minority here and that the loud music is the crowd's preference. Personally, I think that during major sports events such as the NBA Playoffs that they should [u]turn off the music completely[/u] and play the game's audio, and after the sports event is over, turn the music on again.
Anyway, this isn't a referendum on El Alamo, because I'd still frequent and recommend the place if they played waltz music, simply because I like the people, the staff and the owner.
Still, I'd like to know if anybody else agrees with me on this point.
Thanks,
