Euro 2008 on Kauai?
June 6, 2008 2:36 PM Subscribe
I'm just about to take a 10-day vacation to Kauai, and while I'm there, Euro 2008 will be taking place: where can I watch it?
Is there anywhere on Kauai that might be showing the games? We'll be staying on the North Shore, in Hanalei (near Princeville), but I'm prepared to drive further for the games I really want to see.
And, since I'm posting a question, I may as well ask (since if you are able to answer the football/soccer question you probably have intimate knowledge of Kauai or have taken a trip there very recently) – Anything we shouldn't miss on the island during the period we are there, i.e., June 8-16? Thanks to the recommendations from other threads, I purchased the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook, which has been very helpful so far.

Most of the Euro 2008 games are on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Classic. I'd bet any sports bar on the island will have it on.
Here's the schedule.
Here's a good sport's bar in Kauai called The Shack according to Trip Advisor.
A little more googling comes up with this:
The Shack Bar & Grill
Sports Bar & Restaurant
4-1639 Kuhio Highway, Kapa'a
Phone: 808-823-0200
Give them a call, and ask them if they're going to show the Euro 2008 games. If not, maybe they can point you in the right direction.

Is Euro 2008 something that isn't on regular TV? It's been a few years since I was there, but I think it might be a tall order. If it's just a matter of finding somewhere with cable or satellite TV, you shouldn't have trouble - we were there during the Olympics and it was on TV everywhere.
On the other hand, if it's something that isn't normally on US TV, your best bet is probably the Internet. Is anyone streaming the games officially? If not, they're probably going to appear on Bittorrent sites. It isn't too hard to find WiFi there and I recall a couple of Internet Cafes.
If it's on TV where you live, you could use something like a Slingbox to legally watch it remotely over the net.
Looks like Euro 2008 has some Live pay-per-view games you can watch online.
Or just set your Tivo, go there, relax, and take a hike on the Na Pali Coast. The games will be waiting when you get back...
