Most of these people will be watching the game at home anyway. What difference does it make if they all watch it in the same place at the same time? And what is so special about large screen in a large room? Generally you see a smaller picture than you would at home in front of a smaller screen since you can sit closer. People are going more for the fellowship than the game. The fanatic fan (redundant?) will want to stay at home to watch.

What would Jesus do? Would he watch the Super Bowl? My guess is he probably would, but he might not be happy with the half-time show and some of the commercials and he would make that known.

It makes a difference because ad revenue is based on TV ratings, and TV ratings are NOT calculated from the number of people watching. They are calculated by the number of sets tuned to the broadcast. Apparently it’s better for the NFL if 1 person watches 100 TV sets than if 100 people watch 1 TV set. Don’t ask me why.
