I can definitely see why a huge sports bar is infinitely more viable in the US.
Sports in general are just bigger down there. I remember taking a flight to Florida from Calgary with a connector in Minneapolis, on a Sunday. On that Minneapolis one, the pilot on the intercom was reading off the results of all the NFL games, along with his own takes. Never experienced anything like that before, it was hilarious!

I know up here we love our hockey, but outside of that, we don't come close to the U.S. when it comes to an obsession with sports in general.
