The Super Bowl is one of the most watched and celebrated sporting events of all time. In 2018, the Super Bowl was watched by over 111.4 million people, with just about every bar around the country tuning in. If you’re a football fan, having a good Super Bowl experience is something you look forward to just about all year long. It’s especially important to be in a great atmosphere when it’s your team competing for the greatest prize in all of football.
The two cities whose teams are in the final match are always the craziest places to watch the Super Bowl from. Take the 2018 Super Bowl for example, after the Eagles beat the patriots, Philadelphia fans were literally rioting in the streets. Choosing your game-watching spot wisely and ahead of time is a great way to maximize the experience you’re trying to have. Some people have to sit in their recliner with their team’s jersey on with little to no distractions around them. Others would rather tailgate in the parking lot and watch the game on a jumbo screen amongst thousands of other drunken fans. It’s all about preference, so why not start thinking about it months in advance, right?
