In addition to this time of year being full of holiday spirit, it is one of the best times for college football. We have come to know and love this time of year, one as which we often refer to as “bowl season.” This season in particular adds extra excitement as it is the inaugural year of the four-team college football playoff system. While bowl season officially kicked off on Dec. 20, there are still many premier games coming up to view.
With all of the competitive contests taking place in the next week, you’re going to need a place to watch. If anything, you’ll definitely need a spot to see the Michigan State Spartans take on the Baylor Bears (and hopefully witness another bowl victory by the Spartans). While it is a bit disappointing the Spartans aren’t playing for a national title, it is still a very intriguing matchup against a top-tier opponent in a prolific bowl game.
If you are confused, I mean a Wolverines fan, and refuse to root for the Spartans, then surely the rest of the bowl games and the playoff games will capture your attention. The point is, football fans in all capacities are enticed, and there will be a lot of football watched during this time period. Gather your pals and check out the following options for places to watch the bowl games:
Punch Bowl Social Detroit, 1331 Broadway St., Detroit, opened earlier this month, and was one of the most highly touted openings in the area this year. With televisions in sight no matter which part of the establishment you are in, you won’t miss a snap. If you are yet to hear about this place, it mixes food and beverages with entertainment and social interaction. Karaoke, darts, shuffleboard, vintage arcade games and more will keep you busy here. The great spirits and food will keep your taste buds happy. Go here, you must, said Yoda.
