OT - Places to Watch Michigan Football in Singapore

Submitted by Swang on These on

Yeah yeah yeah I know a lot of people hate these threads - but I wanted to get it out of the way during the off-season to not interrupt anyone's gameday later on. 

I am currently relocating to Singapore for work and obviously being able to watch the Wolverines on Saturday (or potentially Sunday with the time difference!) is non-negotiable.

I know the board attracts people with shared interests in Michigan from all over the world, so I figured I would check if anyone had experience watching games while traveling/visiting Singapore.

Also, if anyone is currently living over there, I'd be up to arrange watching parties or meet-ups for sure.

Feel free to delete if there is a lack of response.

I've had a couple of meals at the American Club there... There is a bar/restaurant called the Union Bar in the American Club  (I think) that will remind you of any US sports bar.  Every college flag that I could think of was hanging there, so it's pretty college sports oriented.  I'm not sure what the hours are there though, so I don't know if you will be able to watch games live.  There are a number of Michigan alum and other Ex Pats  there too, so I'm sure there are other places.

I did a 3-year assignment in Europe and found Slingbox to be my best option. Noon games worked great for dinners over there but night games were killers, and there's no place over there that is open at those times. Time-shift and do it on your schedule.

There is a channel on Mio (one of the local cable providers) called ASN (American Sports Network). You should be able to catch some Michigan football and basketball games on it. 

 

You can also use online workarounds like slingbox, your Michigan VPN (all Michigan alumni are entitled to one)
