Sunday, February 5^th – Super Bowl Sunday – Giants vs. Patriots. Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN. Coverage starts at 6:29pm ET on NBC. Four years ago, the New York Giants pulled off a huge upset, defeating the heavily favored New England Patriots to win the 2008 Super Bowl. Remember that unforgettable helmet-catch by David Tyree??? We just hope it’s a good game. If you’re a Patriots fan… goto Brown Dog Pizza. I’m sure they will be getting rowdy. Cornerhouse, Tomboy Tavern and Smuggler’s are also great places to catch the game and some grub.
