Is there a particular spot to watch Brady's sendoff?

Live? I highly doubt it. The Game won't start until 2 a.m. here. You could watch the first half somewhere, but the places that will be open past 5 aren't places that show live college football. At least none that I know of. You could certainly find a place that'd be playing it the next day somewhere if you just want to try avoiding facebook and all that. I did watch all of it live last year at a bar, but that's because my friend knew the owner and 4 of us just hung out watching it after the bar was already closed.

Anyway, if you can find a place, it'd be in the Itaewon/HBC area for sure. Sam Ryan's plays a lot of games, but I'm pretty sure they'll close well before it's over. I watched Hoke's first game against OSU there the day after.

Not sure if you're visiting or just moved here or what, but if you can't watch it online at your home or hotel room, PC Bangs (방 in Korean, bang = room) will be open all night and you can watch online there. Or at least some will be open all night, and they're everywhere. You'll just have to check with one beforehand to make sure they won't be closed.

Where do you live / are you staying in Seoul? I haven't personally found anything; the bar locator doesn't show anything for the area. I've been in bars (in Songdo, as well as Itaewon, as mentioned by the other poster) quite late here, which were showing baseball and basketball games from the US - live, I presumed. You could try scouting the places out in your neighborhood for that, and ask whether they have the proper channel & open hours for you to take in The Game.

I've been around for a few years but usually watch alone. My wife tells me to wake her up but it's no use, so I generally just curl deeper and deeper into the fetal position all by my lonesome as the game wears on. I thought to ask the MGoCommunity this year in case there was some sort of gathering I was unaware of so I could be among my own kind for a change. 

I know the guys at Southside Parlor and could probably convince them to stay open if anyone were interested. They bring out the projector for the big Texas games. Not many highlights for them either this year so perhaps they wouldn't mind.
