Anyways, when in Rome, do as the other Michigan fans in Rome do. Duh.
November 2nd, 2011 at 2:51 PM ^
Go watch Roma instead. Francesco Totti is one fantastic footballer.
November 2nd, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
...but then you're watching soccer...
November 2nd, 2011 at 2:56 PM ^
On television.
November 2nd, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
Pick up a Little Caesars Hot N Ready and head over to the Pope's

I am just waiting for the day when someone asks where to watch UM games in Bolivia.
November 2nd, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
Lake Titicaca, right?

I watched the 2004 ohio game at The Drunken Ship. It got rowdy and loud by the time the game ended. Still able to watch though - assuming the bar is still there, might be your only option.

I was abroad in the fall of 2008 and was able to catch games at the Drunken Ship in Campo di Fiori. Place is always full of Americans and was a nice piece of home if you're looking for that. They don't always have the Michigan game though, just the national games.
Plus, the place gets wild at night.
November 2nd, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
They're all Stanford or Louisville fans there.
/shows self out
November 2nd, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
un ristorante con la partita. Yeah, no help, I know, but at least I said it in Italian.

When you walk in the front door, take a left, go down two flights, take a right, walk through the Papal chambers, take a right, turn left at your 2nd door, go up two flights, take a left, the 3rd door on the right is a pimped out home theatre with a 70" inch flat screen. Direct TV too so you should be able to get the game. Enoy.

throw it up on the google bar maps site.

Drop by the Vatican. Let's just say that after the Weis era and Freakbass, Il Papa isn't a huge ND fan anymore.
[insert Hoke changing the tide of the rivalry with jersey sales in Saint Peter's here]

Credo Hoke mutavit cursum inimicitiatis. Heu, populus Romanus incipit illum credere. Numquam in annis milia velim cogitare. Vendendo tunicas Michiganensis in Basilica Sancti Petri bonum initium est.

...I flew out to Rome to kick off a week vacation in Italy on the same day as the Northwestern game this year, which unfortunately aired at 1am in Rome because it was a night game (in America). We stayed at three different hotels and each of them had an "ESPN America" channel that aired college football that night. It's pretty much luck of the draw if they choose to air a UM game but it's worth a shot.
November 2nd, 2011 at 4:08 PM ^
on a cruise ship heading to Bermuda this Saturday. Not really relevant to where to watch in Rome, but I'm hoping the ship has ESPN? It's been awhile since I was on a cruise and it wasn't during football season.
November 2nd, 2011 at 5:09 PM ^
The Cabins have a news channel and a couple of movie channels, that's it. Your best bet is if the ship has a sports bar, but I don't even know if they actually have sports on the tvs.
November 2nd, 2011 at 4:11 PM ^
Near piazza Navona- ask them they might have it. They had the women's world cup there when we were in Rome over the summer
November 2nd, 2011 at 4:30 PM ^
Uh, the Colosseum?
November 2nd, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
I've watched several of our bowl games on ESPN and ABC in Irish Pubs in Rome who often have Direct TV or some other satellite link. I spent a few minutes on google and called each pub until I found one that had the game.
November 2nd, 2011 at 5:46 PM ^
The Drunken Ship's Internet website make it look like a very interesting place...
November 2nd, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
Lucky you being "stuck" in Rome. This place is great
I watched a lot of American football and Michigan vs. Wisky there back in 06. Good food. Hot waitresses too and relaxed atmosphere. Generally American speaking, filled with ex patriots working there...and American travellers who want to watch our version of football.
November 2nd, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
How do you speak American? :)
November 2nd, 2011 at 10:54 PM ^
I can learn some American for that.
November 2nd, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
"This is America, we speak Amerrrriicccan". woooooh!
November 2nd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
I confirm the Abbey. Nice location in the centro storico too
November 2nd, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
Trattoria della Hoke...if you need directions just ask any local and they will POINT the way.
November 2nd, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
Thanks for all the great suggestions - I can try a new one each week, it looks like...
November 2nd, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
Go Blu!
