NFT: Giant's Bar in Istanbul?

Gints76 : 8/18/2017 12:01 pm
Anyone know somewhere in Istanbul that would be playing the Dallas game on September 10th?

Have to be over there for a wedding, but I mean it's the opener and it's Dallas, so I am not going to miss that game.

Trying to see if I can work out something with the hotel to get the game, but thought someone here might know a bar or the like that I could have as a fallback option.

Thanks!
Have you checked

Istanbul was Constantinople

Should probably check themout and maybe they would know of some good Giants bars. Also Kurds are well respected there too, definitely get in with some of them.

Amazing city, have fun

But the game will be on at 3:30am in Istanbul, so no bar would be open

Ben's post is spot on, the time different will negate any chances of watching the game live on Turkey TV stations or bars.

Your best option might be to invest in a Slingbox. That way you can watch any channels from your home TV on your laptop, tablet or smartphone.

That is if you can get to a location that has a decent WiFi.

Sign up for a free (1 week) trial of NFL Game Pass and (if there's an issue with trying to access NFL Game Pass from a foreign IP address) also sign up for a free trial of Go To My PC.

Use Go To My PC to access your computer and NFL Game Pass to access the game.

The game will not be available live, but you should be able to watch the replay after it's over.

I didn't find any bars that had American sports at all. This was August so it would have been baseball but still.

That being said, beautiful city. But I thought it smelled and a good percentage of the people to be rude.
