As well, if you're an NFL fan and a sports trivia fan, this Monday night we're finally giving our sports trivia another go (assuming city crews don't cut the Comcast lines again while working). Registration will take place during the first half and the quiz will take place during half-time. Teams of 1-4 and $5 registration. Come enjoy some football, some drink specials, and all the sports trivia you wished we would put into Wednesday nights.

UPDATE: Music Hint: All songs this week brought to you by the letter P.

Monday Night Football Pub Quiz game

So, this Monday, 9/20/10 we're trying out a modified Pub Quiz game during halftime of the MNF game. It'll start promptly at half time, and you'll be able to register during the first half of the game. Here's how it'll run - same rules as normal, same $5 a player. Here's the difference: 1-4 players a team, only 20 questions, and the winning team wins it all. We'll be playing up in the front of the Landmark as well, so this will limit the amount of players possible.

The Monday night game will have no impact on the super awesome, long standing Wednesday night game.
