Is Your Bar Ready for EverPass?
NFL Week 1 is September 9, 2026
First Sunday Ticket Sunday: September 13

18 Sundays
This NFL season
What Changed
The setup that worked last fall may not work this fall.
For 32 years, Sunday Ticket came through a satellite dish. EverPass streams it over the internet. Every screen in your bar now pulls its own feed , which means your network has to handle it. Most don't.
"Everyone going, Gosh I don't know, then being referred person to person with no one having a clear answer."

Pricing
You may have seen big numbers online. Here is the reality.
Some bar owners are seeing estimates of $30,000 to $40,000 for an EverPass upgrade and assuming it applies to them. Those numbers typically reflect large venues doing a full infrastructure rebuild from scratch.
Most bars land well below that. What it actually costs depends on what is already in place , your existing network, cabling, and AV setup. Some locations need minor adjustments. Some need more. The only way to know your actual number is a walk-through.
That is exactly what we do, and it costs you nothing to find out.
Who is CGS?
Local. Not a national dispatcher.
We are based in the Southeast and serve operators in our own backyard. When you call, a local technician comes out, not someone dispatched from out of state.
35 years of commercial AV
CGS has been installing commercial AV and network infrastructure for bars, restaurants, and businesses since 1988. This is exactly the kind of work we have been doing for decades.
