Superbowl at BdC
 
Help, all BdC regulars!!!
We will be arriving at BdC the day of the Superbowl and our Steelers are now playing. Any ideas on how we can watch/listen to it?
Thanks for any ideas!!!!

I think you may be out of luck. There weren't any t.v.s there when we were there. I'd e-mail the owners and ask if there's a place in Puerto Jimenez where you can watch it, maybe a bar or restaurant. BdC will take you into town for a fee. My husband would die if our team were in the Super Bowl and we couldn't watch it!

We are Packer Fans (I personally don't care for Farve) and when we played the Pats I was away to Orlando for a Conf so had to watch the game in a Patriot filled bar and they were talking serious smack. That was until we started to win - ha ha. Its no fun to try to watch a game on the road when you can be at parties with all your fellow fans and family. Good Luck with your search for a place to watch - I know your pain to a degree.

By the way I think the Cards will win if the Steelers can't get to Warner like they did to the Ravens on Sunday.

Steelers, another idea is to look at buying a Slingbox. I don't know if it would work in CR, but it allows you to watch your t.v. on your laptop. It gets a lot of good reviews.

We were there during Super Bowl last year when the NY Giants played, had to wait for news from newcomers before I found out we missed one of the most exciting games ever.

Would I have traded my days/nights at BdC for watching the Super Bowl, no way never!!!!!

P.S. Besides, I'm more of a Jets fan!

I was there 2 years ago during the Superbowl (Colts v. Bears). I recorded the game on the off-chance that no one talked about it on the trip. And, no one did. Not a peep. People at BDC have other concerns so you may be able to record it and not have it ruined for you as long as you stay away from the media once you get into the states.
