Where are you watching the Super Bowl?

Patch rounds up a list of a few local spots that are televising tonight's big game.

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and televisions across the country, and the world for that matter, will be showing the NFL's title game to millions and millions. Super Bowl XLVI from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., will pit the New England Patriots versus the New York Giants. Kickoff is scheduled to officially set for 6:29 p.m. EST, but of course pregame parties will begin long before that.

According to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, two out of three Americans indicate they will watch and spend an average of $59.33 on game-related items like food and beverages. And 4.5 million planned to buy televisions for the big game.

But maybe you weren’t one of those and you plan on venturing out to watch the game at a nearby watering hole. Locally, there’s a plethora of events planned. If you’re looking to do it on the cheap, is showing the game on a big screen and will fire up the grills beginning at 3 p.m. There will be live musical entertainment during the day and free hamburgers, hot dogs and pork sliders while they last.
