The Giants game is considered out of market this Sunday so will require NFL Sunday Ticket to watch in most of the state.

Does anyone have any recommendations on places to watch in the Manchester / Glastonbury area?

I typically will resort to Buffalo wild wings for Sunday ticket games. Not my favorite place but if you camp out in the bar the beer specials or finger foods are decent enough to get the job done.

Sometimes search a stream and mirror it on the TV.

Yeah I was thinking of trying that. Is it usually packed when the Giants aren’t on TV? Hard to get a spot at the bar?

Tbh I think while everyone's sleeping one off and getting take out it won't be bad lol. But the pats are on at 1 so it's a coin flip. Call ahead ask a server if it's horrible?

With both giants and pats playing at 1 (I think) it might be crowded. You can always call when they open and see if they do reservations, not sure if that’s a thing there. Otherwise maybe just get there a before game time and make sure you’re settled and have a spot.

So the Manchester one gets bananas but if you are willing to drive a bit further there's always a spot available at the Windsor one.

The diamond is fine and d&b is always a good time but I find Bwws to have the best tv set up for the games.

Diamond pub and grill in Glastonbury doesn’t look like much but it’s actually a pretty good place to watch football. There’s a Buffalo Wild Wings in Manchester and Dave and busters will also have the games. I’m sure there’s a million other places in Manchester too.

All great spots. Artisanal Burger Co in Manchester has a pretty good game day atmosphere too

DIRECTV has an app called Sports Bar Finder where you can look at a map of your area and filter on bars which have various sports packages, including Sunday Ticket. Haven’t used it in awhile but it’s come through in the clutch for me quite a few times over the years when I’ve been traveling and needed to catch a game.

Just downloaded the app and it shows some more options; this is great. Thanks for the tip.

Most clothing stores probably sell them...oh wait, misread that!
