LOCAL SUPER BOWL PARTIES

Super Bowl XLVII

Are you a fan of the 49ers or rooting for the Ravens? Or just trying to keep your mind off the fact that the Patriots aren’t in it?

Whether you’re cheering for the AFC or NFC during Sunday’s Super Bowl – or just in it for the commercials and half-time show, you’ll want to do your cheering along with others who love football. The free buffets and Bloody Mary bars are nice, too. Check out some of these viewing options for the big game — just a few of the many going on around southern Maine.
