Super Bowl Sunday
Drawing nearly 100 million viewers from around the world, the Super Bowl is one of the most-watched games in the athletic world. This year sees the matchup between the Indianapolis Colts, led by four-time MVP Peyton Manning, and the New Orleans Saints in the 44th annual game.
As important as the game (or to some people, more important) are the multi-million dollar commercials and the star-studded halftime show. Legendary rock-n-roll group The Who will be the featured musical act midgame at Super Bowl XLIV.
This Sunday, the 7th promises to be an exciting day with many venues and specials provided on island to enjoy the game.
Kick back with a chilled Budweiser or Bud Light at Captain Mulligan’s, Drakes Point or the Jolly Roger. It’s game time as well at other popular spots such as Village Cay, Pirates, Calypso Café, Myett’s, The Pub, and Mariner Inn Restaurant.
Many venues are offering free popcorn and giveaways, and game time food and drink specials. Some specials to look for are the $1.50 Heinekens and Amstels at UP’s Cinema; halftime Jagermeister shots at Myett’s; game time and take-out specials at Pusser’s and Chef Bruce’s famous Philly Cheesesteak sandwich at Drakes Point.
