‘I have a TV in my truck’: St Louis sports fans find ways to watch Blues playoff game on major sports night downtown

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - If you were a sports fan in St. Louis on Friday, it was a bit of a choose-your-own adventure.

But with a crucial Blues game, fans at all three games still found a way to watch the Blues.

Young Blues fans Decker Rigge and Charlie Grun were very positive, almost cocky, ahead of the Blues’ playoff game against Winnipeg.

“They’re going to win,” said Rigge.

A team that is easy to root for.

“They have fought back in every game and got better together,” said Grun.

Decker and Charlie were two of tens of thousands who descended onto downtown St. Louis Friday evening.

There were three games happening at essentially the same time and we found plenty ready to “kaw, kaw” for the Battlehawks at The Dome.

“Never lost since he’s been at a game so the Battlehawks are winning today,” said Josh Fildel.

Over at Busch Stadium, there were long lines to get into the Cardinals game as they took on the New York Mets.

“I think the Cardinals could come through and still win,” said Andrew White.

And of course, the Enterprise Center was packed for the playoff game.

“With this team, I wouldn’t count anything out,” said Brett Dorris.

But every fan had a different strategy to follow their other favorite teams.

With the Blues in a do-or-die game, Cards fan Andrew Kein was not afraid to drain his phone battery.

“We’ll have it up on a stream on our phone, hopefully, we’ll see if we can watch it. Hopefully, the service is great in there,” said Kein.

Battlehawks fan Josh Fildel was ready to ditch the football game if necessary.

“I have a TV in the truck so if the game gets bad in there, I’ll turn the Blues game on,” said Fildel.

And Charlie is so confident his Blues will get it to a Game 7, he said he may check in on his beloved Cardinals too.

“I might listen to the Cardinals game but mostly all-in on the Blues,” said Rigge.
