No TVs in Seaside restaurants

[Beach Runner]

Apparently TVs have just been banned from Seaside restaurants/bars. We are in the area very frequently in the off-season (during the college football and basketball seasons). I guess we'll have to go elsewhere to dine and watch college sports.

No music, no TV's, no entertainment? Sounds like someone wants to run everything down there off or out of business? What the heck?

Sounds good to me. Sports on tv while trying to dine is annoying as hell.

I think it's a good idea not to have TVs that can readily be seen from the street or the dining area. A separate bar area TV is OK if it's kind of subtle.

I'll admit that I don't usually dine out in Seaside, but I do like to be able to find a place showing college football or basketball in their respective seasons. It sounds like some element of the Seaside Association likes power and control.

I remember way back when Seaside wanted no TV period, even in the houses. They had to cave on that so none in public places apparently was a compromise.

Shades for watching sports, imo.

Why? The sound is always off.

Why? The sound is always off.

It takes away from the ambience of a nice dining experience for one. Also, not everyone likes sports. I for one prefer not to have to look at something I dislike while I am paying for a meal. There are plenty of sports bars for those that do.
