As Super Bowl Sunday nears, football fans have several options when it comes to watching the big game around Indianapolis and the Butler University campus.
Sophomore Daniel Domsic said he will look for a place that will fulfill all his Super Sunday needs.
“For me, if I’m going to get really into it, there are things I need,” Domsic said. “There’s got to be a nice TV, good food and great company.”
For fans looking to get off campus, one option is Buffalo Wild Wings in Broad Ripple. However, General Manager Nick House said it
might be difficult to get a seat because of the restaurant’s popularity.
“If it’s anything like the last playoff game, we’ll be full way ahead of time,” House said. “We’ll probably be at capacity by 3 p.m.”
But with a menu stacked with football food, the location may be very appealing to members of the Indianapolis community.
“If you go, you have to get the wings,” freshman Patrick Hake said. “It’s the obvious choice.”
There are also Buffalo Wild Wings locations in Castleton and downtown Indianapolis.
Greek’s Pizzeria in Broad Ripple offers a more off-the-beaten-path place to watch the game.
“It’s a really small restaurant, but the food is really good,” freshman Jean Jang said after a recent visit to the pizzeria.
For those older than 21, Average Joe’s Sports Pub and Grub is another Broad Ripple option.
The restaurant will offer half-price pizzas on Super Bowl Sunday. Other entrees include wings, sandwiches and salads.
Another 21-plus option is Brothers Bar and Grill in Broad Ripple. The restaurant will open at 11 a.m. on Sunday and will feature pre- and post-game festivities.
Those who are not yet of drinking age can go to Champion’s Sports Bar on Maryland Street to watch the big game.
“It’s a really great place,” freshman Susie Aurora, who visited the restaurant for the first time last week, said. “They put the Butler game on the big screens and the food was amazing. It was reasonably priced as well.”
But the local fare might not be for everyone.
Freshman Kevin Knaus said he is headed to a friend’s house nearby to watch the game.
“It should be fun, and we don’t have to worry about crowds or getting a table,” Knaus said.
While the details of on-campus celebrations have yet to be finalized, Residence Life Coordinator of Ross Hall Jeff Tyner, said there should be plenty of opportunities for students to enjoy the celebration.
