it seems like a really nice thing to do. It also might help prevent people clogging the walkway to watch an event. Gives them a comfortable place to sit and watch. When I first heard they were going to showing the games, I thought it was just inside the restaurant. Streaming outside is a very nice gesture with the addition of the covered bleacher seating. A good will gesture that might inspire people to go in to the bar and grab a drink, or an app. Clever, clever NBC Grill

And it will raise the ratings for the Olympics by approximately .000000001%, give or take a couple decimal places.:)

Maybe they also thought that if they put the bleachers out for those who only want to watch the Olympics, that helps prevent people who (would come into the restaurant and at most get drinks and an appetizer) hog tables that they would otherwise turn more quickly with regular diners.

I was just thinking that exact same thing when wondering the motive for the bleachers.

Also, if they get backed up and there's an actual wait to get a table as I suspect will happen during certain Olympic events, it allows people to wait to be seated, yet still watch the games without getting in the way of people inside.

This entire bleacher setup will be interesting to see in action. Can't wait to see pictures of it during the Olympics.

NBC Sports Grill screens are now just one nonstop commercial for the Rio Olympics.

Live video has started with some soccer going on today. On site techs say they are shooting to have the stands open today at 3pm.

Where are these bleachers placed, exactly? I thought it was still a pretty narrow walkway between the NBC restaurant and the path down to the boats.

Maybe my first instinct was right.

People stopping in the middle of the walkway to watch the Olympics and blocking the flow of others trying to leave the parks.

Mental note: leave US via the IOA path during the Olympics.

I always take the IoA path to get around that crowd anyway! Plus I love hearing the IoA music playing when it's quiet...
