Apparently TVs have just been banned from Seaside restaurants/bars. We are in the area very frequently in the off-season (during the college football and basketball seasons). I guess we'll have to go elsewhere to dine and watch college sports.

I think it's a good idea not to have TVs that can readily be seen from the street or the dining area. A separate bar area TV is OK if it's kind of subtle.
I'll admit that I don't usually dine out in Seaside, but I do like to be able to find a place showing college football or basketball in their respective seasons. It sounds like some element of the Seaside Association likes power and control.
I remember way back when Seaside wanted no TV period, even in the houses. They had to cave on that so none in public places apparently was a compromise.
Why? The sound is always off.Sounds good to me. Sports on tv while trying to dine is annoying as hell.

It takes away from the ambience of a nice dining experience for one. Also, not everyone likes sports. I for one prefer not to have to look at something I dislike while I am paying for a meal. There are plenty of sports bars for those that do.
