Where To Watch The Big Game In And Around Darien

DARIEN, CT — The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will meet Sunday, Feb. 8, in a rematch of one of the greatest NFL championship games in history. It’s not too early to scout the best places to watch the big game in and around Darien.

The battle for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy takes place this year at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. In their last big game meeting in 2015, the Patriots secured a 28-24 comeback victory over the Seahawks.
