buffalobillsfootball Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Hey - in Venice this weekend and am trying to find a bar that might show the Bills game. Anyone have any advice? thanks
Chandler#81 Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 So many to choose from! jk I recommend a laptop, Reddit/NFL and a long ride on one of those junkets (gondolas?) that paddle through the city. Don’t cheer too loud though, or neighbors will throw crap down on you.. Enjoy! 2 2 2
buffalobillsfootball Posted October 26, 2019 Author Posted October 26, 2019 lmao - not true! Just want to watch the Bills at a bar and Google is not helping!
4_kidd_4 Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 “Buffalo” only has one “f” in Italian. That’s all I got for ya, mio amico! 2
Nick the Greek Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Maybe the local Irish pub would show NFL? I'm thinking a place like this: http://www.inisharkpub.com/venice-football-pub.htm According to this it says it shows NFL games. The bartenders in there probably speak English as well. Good luck!

Boatdrinks Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Devils Forest Pub on Calle San Marco has NFL games. Could fit the bill...
GreggTX Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 FYI -- You can watch complete NFL games overseas on youtube. You will have to wait a day or 2 for it to be posted, but I watched the last half of our season from my 2nd home in Manila last year and will be doing the same this year as well. I'm not sure about Italy, though. Go to youtube and check.
timekills17 Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 If you wait about six hours you can get them on my site: https://news.timekills.info/buffalo-bills-video/ (newer site/may be faster in Europe) https://www.timekills.org/bills-video/ (older site, probably faster in US) For live, you can get NFLGame Pass Europe for a discounted price (and probably a free trial) as long a the IP is out of Europe. You do not have to have or use a US billing address for credit card. That is how I watch from Afghanistan (when I have internet good enough to actually watch them.) 1

SMAKCruiser Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) I was just in Europe for 3 weeks for work. Many bars would have the NFL but it would only be the CBS or Fox top game of the week. My suggestion (like others have already said) would be to sign up for the one week trial of NFL game pass and cancel it after the game is over. Gamepass shows live games in Europe but not in the USA Edited October 26, 2019 by SMAKCruiser

CSBill Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Let me just give a bit of marital advice, in Venice, don’t be worrying about the Bills game . . . Find a gondola, visit a museum, how about an espresso cafe by a canal ??? ? Edited October 26, 2019 by CSBill 3 1
hondo in seattle Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 The closest I've come to watching live sports on tv in Europe is watching Neil Armstrong walking - live - on the moon. God, I'm old! 1

Find a gondola, visit a museum, how about an expresso cafe by a canal ??? ? Do you know that he is married? The game is on at 7PM in Venice. I think he could spend an entire day visiting museums, having espresso and gliding in a gondola. I'd also guess Sunday won't be his only day in Venice. I'd spin your advice on its head (if he is indeed married or with a significant other): Let your partner have this 3-4 hour window, once a week. The rest of the week is yours. That's what I recommend. Then again, I'm not married. Also consider the OP's partner (if there is one) might be as/more jacked up for the game than the OP. Anyway, my advice is (virtually always) WATCH THE GAME if you can. 1 2 1

Anyone have any advice? thanks yes, there is. I will message you Paolo's information. He's the Bills Backer Bar guy for Italy, and the ONLY place in Italy that has a Bills Backer bar he told me, is Venice (as I understood him). We were in Venice on the bye week. ? We used NFL GameDay - 20 Euro per week, no need to pay for a season, just in case you cannot make the bar. Edited October 26, 2019 by Buffalo_Gal 1

Heitz Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 I’ve been in Italy for several games over the years and have always had trouble finding a spot that shows all the NFL games. Since it’s the feature game, who’s knows - Good luck! Last week in Barcelona I “found a link” and watched on my phone over dinner ?
