Apparently from a recent article, some movie theaters may begin showing NFL games in high def. This is a great idea for movie theaters since recent reports have shown that more and more people are choosing to stay home for movies rather than going out anymore. Finding another way to fill the seats is necessary if they want to stay profitable. Plus with the social aspect of watching games, it may actually be more fun to watch a game with a large group of fans rather than at home.
Of course bars already do this and serve drinks as well. Would movie theaters need to get liquor licenses now or would enough people go just for the high-def and $12 popcorn?
