Imagine you own a sports bar in Dallas, Texas. Tomorrow, both the Stars and Mavs will be playing at the same time (basketball at 8:30, hockey at 9). The question is, which game takes priority for the sound on your speakers?
One idea is to have two pickle jars on the bar top, each labeled for either the Stars or the Mavs. Whichever jar collects the most cash from customers determines which team gets the sound. Every 15 minutes, the cash is counted and divided among the servers. This way, everyone has a fair chance to support their team.
This creative solution allows fans to show their support for their favorite team in a fun and engaging way. It adds an element of competition and excitement to the sports viewing experience at your bar. So, next time you’re torn between which game to give sound to, consider trying out this jar method to get everyone involved in the action.
Tim, the editor of D Magazine, came up with this idea as a way to engage customers and create a unique atmosphere in the sports bar. It’s a clever and practical solution to a common dilemma faced by sports bar owners. So, go ahead and give it a try at your own establishment and see how it enhances the overall sports viewing experience for your patrons.
