I have heard talk throughout the past year or so about ESPN Zones or Fox Sport Zones and Hard Rock Cafe type places. No thanks. I understand these big restaurant ideas are expensive and perhaps best left for large corporations, but I would love for this project to be decidedly local.
I have heard a few people throw out ideas here and there.
Instead of an ESPN Zone what about a place called "The Big One" (obviously after 700WLW). How great would it be to have pre and post game shows broadcasted live in a big sports bar/restaurant that is local with local personalities???
Or, what about Nuxy's? Similar to The Cubby Bear or Harry Carry's in Chicago?
Again, I understand there is a lot of money that needs to go into these establishments, maybe it is just a pipe dream. But, there needs to be some thought about this. You can go to a whole lot of cities and eat bad fried food and have a watered down draft beer at an ESPN Zone, but no other City can stake claim to 700 WLW's national radio history or Nuxy's personality.
