Chandler#81 Posted October 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 “Buffalo” only has one “f” in Italian. That’s all I got for ya, mio amico! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted October 26, 2019 Share 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 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Devils Forest Pub on Calle San Marco has NFL games. Could fit the bill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted October 26, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timekills17 Posted October 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMAKCruiser Posted October 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Let me just give a bit of marital advice, in Venice, don’t be worrying about the Bills game . . .

hondo in seattle Posted October 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Heitz Posted October 26, 2019 Share 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.

Forward Progress Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Back-up plan if the bar hunt doesn’t work out... Since you’re outside of the US market, you can use DAZN to access NFL Game Pass and watch the game live or recorded. Get a one-month free trial and watch it on your laptop or IPad.

buffalobillsfootball Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks everyone. I know I can watch the game on the Bills Mafia Facebook page. Shane always streams it live via Facebook live. I was just hoping to find a bar and watch football w the locals. thanks again - everyone! If I don’t find a bar I’ll just order the spaghetti and meatballs on a gondola w the wife and watch the game on my ipad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Mike Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 You should have done like me for mine and the wife's trip to Spain and Portugal; wait for the schedule to come out to know when they have their bye, leave right after the Titans game and return just in time for the Dolphins game.

Seasons1992 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I've been to Venice. Honestly, I'd skip the game and go explore if it were me, and I'm a crazy fan. Venice is dope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, my advice is (virtually always) WATCH THE GAME if you can. I’m almost universally the opposite. Which is funny coming from a guy that catches essentially all and spends time here too... buuuuut - the games always there tomorrow. Be present at the kids birthday, weddings, vacations etc... if your family are die hard and you are super curious about Nfl fans overseas, no shame in grabbing a beer at the pub and checking out the scene but don’t be the dude that’s back in a hotel room watching a choppy stream by yourself when you can catch a reply when you get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
