    Hey guys... I go to UCONN and unfortunately the game won't be televised up here due to this being a Patriots area. I'm willing to travel anywhere in CT to watch the game... even if it means an hour and a half to my home in western CT. Does anyone know a bar closer to me that may have the game on? A bar in Hartford or Manchester maybe? Any help you guys can provide would be GREATLY appreciated! J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!!!!

    Try Rookies in Cromwell...Or since you're at UCONN try or at least call to see if they are playing it at the Sports Bar in Willimantic

    Hit up Allstars in Manchester. Nice set up and the staff is pretty hot. They get a few regular Jet fans. I will be there, and we could use some more Jet fans in pats land.

    Guys....Fairfield is 2 hours away from UCONN...try to help the guy out..gas prices are expensive these days. I've never been to All Stars ... at least not that I can remember.
     
  10. As a CT resident this is a harsh subject for me. There are Patriot bars, Giant bars, Steeler bars..hell even a dolphins bar(The fish tank in Hartford)...but no Jets bar.It's pathetic.

    Supposively there is a dive in manchester that has a decent jets following..but i never get a solid confirmation on the name or location of it.

    I have a dream of one day opening a pizza/sports bar that will be completely decked out in Jets stuff and will only show Jet games on Sunday. Local fans of other teams can go pound sand..there are plenty of bars made specially for them.

I'll be in the green Jets polo shirt front and center..trust me here..its the place you want to be for the game. Take 84 West then I believe exit 42 Prospect St..take a right off exit then first left and its about 300 yards on your right..next to Wendy's..see ya there

    I just looked up that west sings place. Considering CT absolutely sucks for sports bars, that place looks pretty damn good. Perhaps one week when jonnyd feels like going out he will make an appearance

    thanks for the info guys! back at home in new fairfield, the jets are on channel 2. up at school though, there's only one CBS channel... which is taken up by the pats game. my friends and i did a little research on our own and found that the closest place is Sports Bar in north windham/ willimantic. thanks a lot murrell!!
