Does anyone have an Update on the Blackout situation for this week

if there is going to be a blackout - it will likely be announced officially soon since the 72 hour mark prior to kick off is in about 25 minutes.. no?

RT @miamijake: @BenVolinPBP I'm a season tix holder, just got a robo-call from Fins saying they bought all remaining tix (to avoid blackout)

let's hope this is true!
 
word is spreading that the game will not be blacked out.

i've seen this quoted before, but i definitely recall going to sports bars in the jupiter and hobe sound area to watch blacked out games legally. if you google map carol city/miami gardens, florida, to jupiter, florida, it is 75 miles by turnpike and 78 miles by I-95. if extreme northern palm beach county is outside the 75 mile blackout area, why in the world would they black out martin and saint lucie counties? because if this game is blacked out and i don't want to mess with illegal internet feeds, i'm going to want to head north, but not 100+ miles.

Blackouts are based on television penetration for network games not as the bird flies mileage.


PBC bars that used to have blackout games(McNally's years ago in PBG, for example) were not legal and were acted against by the NFL.
 
I just received a call from the Dolphins. Mike Dee was on an automated voice message saying that the game will not be blacked out they partner with Anheiser Busch to buy remaining tickets.
 
Congrats local fans. Looking forward to seeing thousands of empty seats on Sundays, because that is the norm around the league.
 
Well Mike Dee also said, season ticket holders will get complimentary tickets to redeem and bring family or friends. So hopefully, people will take that opportunity and invite instead of selling. That should help with attendance
 
i disagree with that. Cincinnati and Cleveland are pretty bad and they still have it packed.

the place i used to go was further than that, maybe hobe sound. here are my thoughts on the current situation: there is a sports bar that subscribes to the directv sunday ticket. their physical location is further than the 75 mile blackout radius as mandated by the NFL. legally, they should be able to receive the dolphins game feed from directv. what legal right does directv have to black them out, when they are not located within the 75 mile radius (as the crow flies)? i understand things were different in the past with the networks. can someone please elaborate on this?

most of the good seats are gone or way over priced if you buy ahead of time
though the closer u get to game time those prices drop big time on stub hub..

if i go to denver game i pay same for top corner as i would lower sideline for houston game

Do they? They were both ranked lower in attendance than we were last year.

Blackout is going to be a bummer. Not a surprise for a **** awful team in a declined economy. Hopefully, it'll inspire change and an understanding of the importance of winning.

there won't be a blackout. Ross and Anhueser-Busch bought the remaining tickets for the Texans game.
