A common truth among Colorado sports fans is that the end of Broncos season signals the true beginning of Avalanche and Nuggets season.
With football over, it’s time to really start paying attention.
At least that’s what Chris Fuselier, owner of Blake Street Tavern in LoDo, once believed. He’s not so sure anymore. Business is good, and on weekends his place is packed, but a room reserved Thursday night for televising the Avs-Sharks game exclusively on DirecTV sat curiously … empty.
“We haven’t gotten the spike that I thought we would,” Fuselier said.
Consider it one of many consequences from a bitter standoff between Comcast — the state’s largest television service provider — and Altitude Sports and Entertainment, the Kroenke-owned regional sports network, that has led to blacked-out Avs and Nuggets games since August.
