Where to watch NFL Games in Tokyo?

Hello,

I will be in Tokyo when my favorite team the New Orleans Saints will play the first game of the 2011 NFL season against the Packers. The game will be at 8:30 on Sept 9th. Is their a good place (bar or restaurant or anywhere) that will show this game where we can watch? I am staying in Shinjuku so hopefully there is a place that we can go that is near or not too far.

Thanks!

Paul

-Sports bars

-Internet cafe
Cable TV service is available at some internet cafe.

-Hotel
mid-class hotels or above may offer cable TV service too.

No one cares about football in Japan. (not meaning that in a condescending way, just as fact)

So it will be much more difficult to find some bar showing it. You're more like to get it with some TV service like Satellite or something.

Beyond the popularity issue, there's the time difference.

Most NFL games take place in the middle of the night or early morning in Japan time.

So you would need to find a place with Sky Perfect TV (or BS Satellite, depending on the game) that's open basically 24 hours.

NFL in Japan is the equivalent of rugby in the US. Few people know/care about it so the networks don't either.

I don't know much about tv so I don't know what kind of channel this is but they'll play your game live.
