Im sure you'll be able to watch your football games. There are a lot of football fans so Im guessing you'll have company.

When my boyfriend was in rez a few year's ago, I visited him a lot and there was hardly anyone in the common rooms. Most people were just using the microwave. I never saw anyone use the TV.

If you miss them, you could always check Youtube or something.

You can also check the other floors, there were groups of people in Woodstock last year that would meet on different floors to watch a tv show together instead of in 3 different common rooms

The 24 lounge in woodstock ended up being taken over for most of the bigger sports events last year

As mentioned there are usually other sports fans in residence who watch different games.

Also the common rooms aren't that busy. Usually the busiest times are the nights with the popular shows like Grey's and House and whatnot.

Sunday afternoon the common rooms will probably be dead. Lots of people go home on weekends and don't return until evening/night.

Plus also as mentioned you can always go to other floors. If the TV(s) on your floor are being used you can always just check other floors.

If worst comes to worst you could always ask someone who seems to be just flipping channels or watching out of a boredom if you could watch the games.

If you can't watch it on tv for some reason, you can always go online. There are many sites that will stream the game online.

Usually not too busy - but don't be afraid to floor hop.

In brandon, once I had to check i think 4 or 5 different floors to find a space to watch my show haha

mostly, they're deserted though!
