Solutions:
- Get a Slingbox and set it up at your friend or relative’s house in good ol’ eastern WI. Basically the slingbox streams your tv (cable, antenna, satellite, whatever you have) on the web, and you can log in and access it from anywhere. This is what I’ve been doing, works pretty well if you have decent bandwidth at both the source and where you are watching from.
- Get DirecTV w/ the NFL Sunday Ticket (cha ching! expensive…)
- Go to a bar that has the game on
Bars in the St Paul area I’d recommend:
Others have suggested:
- The Herkimer on Lyndale in Uptown Minneapolis
- Tiffany Lounge in St Paul Highland Park
Good luck Twin Cities Packer fans, and GO PACK!
