I aggree with the TV and internet, but many people are watching it from their office/home/apartment/condo... My work counterpart in the bay area tells me he has been invited to a few "AC Watching Parties" this weekend.

Seems like there is a pretty big buzz going in SFO with the race.

In having meetings this week with some of my clients I will have to say there is better awareness of the sport that in the past.. Some are actually getting into it, and once place had a pool going.

Would hate to see this go to Auckland, but.... as I think the SFO venue has been great for this.
