This place sounds like it is going to be pretty cool. And the owner is a Bobcat fan! :)

Maybe he will have enough b***s to say that he has a Bobcat Bar.
Is he a former MSU Alum or MSU student athlete?

I'm not sure who Brad Anderson is, but it sounds familiar? Did he play for the Cats at all? It just says he is an ex Bobcat? Just curious.

I would hope he could at least put up some stuff from each (like the Rock Pile) if anything. I think there are enough Bobcat fans in Billings and enough Cat Envious Griz fans that it would fill up no matter what if it was a Bobcat bar :)

I'm originally from Billings, and I think it would be great for the city to have an exclusively Bobcat bar. It there was a couple Griz bars, and a couple Cat bars, I think that would make the rivalry that much bigger in the biggest city in the state.

The Griz definately have one bar in Billings (Winners Circle). That is as Griz bar as you get. I agree though, it would be cool to have a few of each type just to spice up the rivalry etc.

I haven't really spent much time in Billings since 2000 when I graduated high school. I figured there must be at least on Griz bar, but I wasn't sure what it was. Billings is the states biggest city, I think both schools could do well to tap the fan base there as much as possible.

This place does sound pretty cool, especially all of the high-tech sound equipment. My only reservation, though, is that it is a franchise. I usually like sports bars that have a more local feel. That is not saying that this won't be great. I guess its a trade-off for all of the benefits this will offer. Might be worth a trip down to Billings to check it out.

I have been to one in Minneapolis. It was really nice. I actually watch the MSU/NI playoff game there. They do get ALL the football games.

Is this the same Brad Anderson that owned Dr. Feelgood's and Bullwacker's?
