Bison fan here. I live in Oregon but will be in Missoula next Saturday. Can anyone please tell me a good place to watch the game with some friendly Griz fans?

All you have to do is wear your bison gear and you won't have to pay for a drink the entire time..

Ohh wait, it's an away game, never mind.

But seriously check out: Pressbox, Missoula Club, Reds, and if you wanna pick up some poon later check out: Stocks, Bodega, Al & Vics

Bro. Stick with your own, griz fans aren't going to be friendly when your team stomps a mud hole through them.

You aren't particularly good at this trolling thing....perhaps a new handle and new approach could help. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Excuse me, but Roos is perhaps the least friendly away game atmosphere that I have ever experienced as a Bison fan. We weren't welcomed anywhere really, especially in the tailgate lot, or whatever that little dull parking area would be considered. Even when our fans showed up in decent numbers at a breakfast restaurant, the staff seemed more bothered than greatful for the business. Cheney is an awful setting for college football. The people seem indifferent to the team, frankly.

Griz fans are different. I have met only one in my life (Griz1952 is looney tunes...) that wasn't good for a beer and some great football talk. If I wasn't a Bison fan, I would say the Griz have the best, most energetic fans I know. I think Bison fans generally feel a type of kinship with Griz fans. That is why we generally cheer for UM against just about any other team.

Four years ago, Griz fans got me drunk in Missoula on my way back from watching my Bison tear apart the Cats in Bozeman. I wish I could remember the name of that bar. Anyway, thanks for the advice on where to go this Saturday. Go Griz!!(except for this Saturday...)

I am sure you will be welcomed anywhere. My favorites are either Montana Club, Paradise Falls, Hooters, or Buffalo Wild Wings. Press Box is a mixed bag, depending on their staffing any given day. I've had a few rather forgettable experiences there.
 
Desperados on Russell will be packed, and there are TVs everywhere. Decent priced drinks, a very accommodating atmosphere, and the best wings in Missoula.

Otherwise, either Reds or Press Box would be solid choices.
 
Red's Bar downtown.....best TV's and lots of diehard Griz fans.....a little banter is very likely no matter who wins. Don't gloat too muich if NDSU takes charge and live with it if the Griz pull off an upset and you'll love the crowd. No food at Red's but Bodega and Walking Mustach both deliver.

I'm afraid that we'll have to part ways here, Mr. rule. The Montana Club, Paradise Falls, Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings would be the last 4 places that I would go to watch a football game/have a few beers.
There is a right answer to the gentleman's question: Red's.
 
I ended up going to Red's, which was fun. The old guys next to me were pretty funny all game. I was laughing pretty hard when they all started chanting Hail Mary's for the extra point and field goal kicker.

Thanks for the suggestion and hospitality. Good luck to the Griz for the remainder of the season. You guys have a good, tough team.
