If the giant, colourful jukebox is obviously the central element of the game with its flashy neon lights, the developers have also dedicated some time to create a realistic background as well. The brick wall behind the jukebox is covered in black and white photographs of athletes playing American football and baseball, which helps create the impression that players are standing in front of the jukebox inside a popular sports bar somewhere in America.
