For those of you who are a member of AMC A-List or Stubs and have an AMC theater near you, the chain will be showing an NFL game on Sunday afternoons this season. No admission, but you have to book through their app and you agree to spend at least $10 on food. Sounds like a great deal! Smitty's here was showing the Patriots games and packing two theaters every week. Unfortunately they got a cease and desist order a couple years ago. There is a major drawback to the AMC deal though, buried in the fine print. Local teams are excluded. So if you're in, say, Minneapolis, you can either stay home and watch the Vikings or go to AMC and catch a game between two random teams. That doesn't seem to be a winning formula.
Great in theory but can't see how it is going to work in reality.
