Game watch in Florida

[HawkeyeMark 1977]

Hoping someone in Hawkeye Nation can advise where to watch the Hawkeyes in the Gainesville, Ocala, Jacksonville and Tampa, Florida, areas. Have family members there
that do not always get a chance to watch them.....

Good luck, I lived in Tampa for a few years and could not find a hawk bar. I also lived in Orlando and there was two when I was there, but its been a while since I lived there.

I went to a bar in Orlando for the Iowa / Penn State game. It was fun, but it seemed like the Iowa fans who were there looked down upon people who were not Iowa grads. I actually had more fun with the Penn State fans.

I live in Sarasota, which is an hour south of Tampa and the only hawk bar I know of is in Ft Myers Which is an hour south of me. Kinda sucks, hopefully I can at least find a bar that will turn it on for me. I'm gonna give PlayStation vue a try as well.

I'm pretty sure that area of the country will be underwater by kickoff.

I lived in Flagler Beach and Jacksonville for a few years and don't remember any Hawk bars around those parts.

I watched last years Iowa-Purdue football game at a bar called Boston's in Tampa. Lots of Hawk fans there.
I just went to there website and they are now closed.

That's an Iowa State bar and they recently had a fire so your breaded pork tenderloin sandwich may taste a little smokey.
