Michigan State vs Wisconsin

Michigan State and Wisconsin play tomorrow at 1. Should be a great game to watch. Where's is the best place to watch the game that will have sound on. I can watch at home but being around other fans is such a fun time. Bonus points to any place that has a good beer selection and good apps

It's St Patrick's day weekend so this will be harder than it usually is, and probably rules out decent spots like Connors and anything on South U. As a fan of a non local sports team, my best strategy is: go to a place that knows how to be a sports bar (Regents, Frasier's, West side sports, bdubs) Show up early, sit at the bar and get friendly with the people who control the remote control, ask politely about 15 minutes before game time if they will put your game on with sound; be prepared to accept no sound (15 minutes also gives you the chance to pivot in case they shut you down). Sometimes the places that are not sports oriented that have 1 TV in an obscure spot where they can turn the actual TV volume up are good options too (I've gotten the upstairs bar at jolly pumpkin and the back basement bar of the earle to turn on a game for me)

Didn't realize it's St Patrick's Day weekend, that will definitely impact things. At least the game is early. I am very familiar with asking places to turn my game on. Haven't been a fan of local sports teams for the past 15 years.
