Journal notes sports bar transformation

Geeks are taking over sports bars, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

It says live Internet broadcasts of professional science-fiction war games are proving a key revenue stream for sports bar owners, edging out traditionalists who prefer football, baseball, basketball and hockey games when they tilt back a few brews.

WSJ said “Starcraft III” is the latest game drawing geeks to sportsbars, where multiple television sets normally dedicated to sports are used to cater to gamers. The game is part of the Activision Blizzard Inc. arsenal of games, and “Starcraft III” is specifically designed to appeal as a spectator sport, Activision publicist Bob Colayco told the Journal.

The Journal said the popularity of such games as “Starcraft III” leads some traditionalists begging. At a Washington, D.C. sports bar, the manager finally switched one of 26 televisions to a baseball game after one customer asked for “anything but this videogame,” according to the Journal. The “Starcraft” trend is of interest to mobile sports viewers because, if the geeks continue to take over pubs across the country, your smartphone or tablet may be your only option for catching professional sports.
