“Titans On 2″ Wildhorse Update
It’s it’s free, it’s for me!
I have an exciting update to the upcoming season of “Titans On 2″ on News-2.
The Wildhorse Saloon has decided to not charge a cover for anyone who comes for the “Titans On 2″ taping Tuesday nights. Most nights, because it has live music seven nights a week, charge four-dollars for adults and six-dollars for anyone under-21.
I thank Jennifer and all the great folks at the Wildhorse for working with us in trying to make Tuesday nights a cool happenin’ night in downtown Nashville. Here’s the plan for “Titans On 2″ for the 2010 season:
Tuesdays during the regular season beginning September 14th:
“Titans On 2″ will be recorded in front of a live audience at the Wildhorse Saloon from 7:15-8:15pm.
The first half-hour of the recorded show, “Bridgestone Titans On 2 With Jeff Fisher” will air Wednesdays at 6:30pm.
The second half-hour of the show, billed as “Bridgestone Titans On 2 Final Countdown” will air Saturdays at 6:30pm.
FAQ’S
——
Q. Can anyone come to the show?
Yes, by all means. While it’s named a saloon, all ages are allowed.
Q. Is it free?
As the wind! Generally, each night because of live music, there is a cover charge. 4-dollars for adults. 6-dollars for anyone under 21. Wildhorse management is waiving the cover charge . There is no drink or food minimum, but I encourage you to come thirsty and hunger.
Q. If stayed for the live music afterwards, would I have to pay the cover?
I suspect management will expect you to pay the cover if you hang out. If you ran the place, you would probably expect the same thing, right?
Q. Will I have a good view of the show and be guaranteed a table for 2, 4 or more of my family or friends?
There really isn’t a bad seat. Along side the VIP seating area are tables on both
sides, extending all the way to the back. I’m told the second floor balcony
area is actually some of the best seating. There are flat screen TV’s all through
the place so finding a table or seat to watch the show live and on TV is not going
to be a problem. That’s unless 1,500 people show up when the Titans begin the season 11-0.
Q. If I go as a general admission spectator, can I eat?
This is where it get’s really cool. The Wildhorse Saloon is a full-service restaurant.
You can eat and drink before, during and after the show. Perfect timing would be to
get there around 6:30pm and grab some dinner and then hang out for the show taping.
The Wildhorse takes all major credit cards and even cash.
You can be back your car by 8:30pm.
Q. Speaking of parking, you have to help me here. Just where do I park?
There’s a covered public parking garage about a half-block away at 3rd and
Commerce with the entrance on the Commerce Street side. The closest outside
parking is a lot on 2nd Avenue, on the same side of the street, just north of Hooters
Restaurant. I will track down the prices and let you know as I post these FAQ’S
periodically leading up to the first show.
Q. Can We bring signs or paint our faces for the show?
Do you think that’s a way to get on TV? Of course it is!
We encourage it.
Q. What about getting autographs from Coach Fisher and the player guest?
This is where things get sticky. Neither Coach Fisher nor the player is obligated
to sign autographs. This is not a public appearance, but rather a taping of a TV show
in a public venue. For you regulars, you know Coach Fisher has been overly accommodating
in the past. So have many of the players. I stress that coming to the show simply for
autographs could set yourself up for a letdown. Coach Fisher usually signs while walking
out and bolts back to the office to meet up with the other coaches in preparing Sunday’s
gameplan and Tuesday is the only player’s full day off and most have plans after the show.
I can tell you in seeing the Wildhorse set up, Coach Fisher and the player will not have to exit
through the crowd. I guess what I’m saying is, if it happens, great, but please, please don’t count on it.
Q. I go to the show, the camera guy likes my enthusiasm and I’m on TV four times.
How can I get a copy of the show?
Here’s the cool thing. You can tape it yourself because you now know it airs Tuesdays and
Saturdays at 6:30pm. Fair warning: If you sneak down to the show and you end up on TV
but told your boss or wife that you were at the office working late, I will not, no matter how
much the bribe, edit you out of the finished product before it airs.
I hope these answer most of your questions. If you have any others, please email them johndwyer@wkrn.com and I will get back to you. So many of you have been incredible supporters of the show and I hope that you’ll plan to spend a Tuesday (or two or three) with us at our new home of “Titans On 2″, the Wildhorse Saloon.
We also now have a FaceBook page “Titans On 2″. Click HERE for the link. It’s the best way to find out updates on the show such as player guests etc.
12 days and counting to the first taping!
Enjoy tonight final preseason game on News-2. News-2 sports director Cory Curtis and everyone behind the scenes at News-2 work hard to put on a good product.
