I believe todays sports bars are all looking the same. Stiff wooden chairs or stools, small TV's, expensive beers, not being able to hear your game because of the loud crowd in the bar. I have an idea of bringing the home theatre to the sports bar industry. I would have 16-20 individual theatres with a capacity of 20 people each inside a sports bar. Each chair would be a cushy very comfortable recliner type chair with drinkholders and trays to put your food. The TV's would each be a 65" LCD or plasma HD screen with surround sound for exceptional viewing. Of course each room would be sound proofed. There would be a waitress in each room in a sexy cheerleader type outfit bringing you beers/food and helping cheer your team on. Each room would have music downloaded from your favorite teams stadium to really give you the feel of actually being at your team's stadium. The concept is to have 20 people who are passionate about the same team in that theatre watching the game. I would want to charge each person a set fee to have this viewing experience in each of the theatre rooms. This sports bar would offer the typical stuff normally found at a stadium such as different beers being sold and sodas for drinks. Food selection would be boneless wings, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and dip. I would have a punching bag in each room as of course if our team is not doing well we will need to let the aggression out. I may have a wireless connection in each room also so everyone can know what the other scores are for that day in other games. I may also have unique interactive games of which sports fans can win free stuff. I have other ideas as well.
What I wanted to know is do you think bringing the home theatre concept to a social setting like a sports bar would work? Would you pay a fee to go into this type of sports bar as you would a movie theatre?
I agree

it really sounds good, but what about maintanace, whos gonna clean the puke thats gonna accidentally happen when guys get really wasted.
It sounds too specialized, similar to box seats in a stadium. First, I go to a sports bar to eat, drink, and raz my friends about their teams because many of my friends are not fans of the same team as I am. We would not want to go to a bar that separates us from each other. Finally, with the popularity of fantasy football, I find myself watching other games quite often because of the numerous breaks in my game, or the fact that I go to the bar for the early game, even though my game isn’t on till later. Walking from room to room would be inconvenient. I think if you want a private room to watch your game, stay at home, and buy a nice TV and the ticket package from your cable company.
Hi, my name is Robbie. I am a sports bar and restaurant owner in down town Raleigh, NC. I have thought about your idea and i think to make somthing like that work, you would need to have one big communal bar & restaurant area where everyone can watch all the games at one time, and then you could proceed in building and rent the private room areas.
You could, rather than using LCD screens, use a projector and allocate 1 room with a high speed internet connection - that the projector screen be avaiable to content from youtube or name your internet portal. Then a group of people could indulge in some obscure media interests far beyond sports making such rooms more profitable.
