OMAHA, Nebraska – This year’s bowl season has been somewhat different.
Nikole Eliakis, manager of Addy’s Sports Bar and Grill in downtown Omaha, told First Alert 6 that games played during the week bring in an extra boost of customers.
“Yeah, it helps us though, you know, it brings people out in the middle of the week, so everyone’s coming around hung over from yesterday,” Eliakis went on.
She stated that Creighton Basketball remains a constant, with games attracting a large crowd and being so close to the Bluejays’ home court.
“The Creighton game, you know, a block away from us really helps bring in a lot of people, the weather not being too bad helps us as well,” she went on:
According to Eliakis, the NCAA’s new 12-team football playoff system is a bonus because it allows for more games to be broadcast on television.
“It brings people in for lunch, brings people in for dinner later tonight for the other games, unfortunately the sugar bowl did get postponed, terrible situation but it’s something to look forward to tomorrow,” she told me.
