Order Some Super Bowl Snacks For Game Day In The Bradenton Area

BRADENTON, FL — With the Super Bowl taking place Feb. 7 in Bradenton’s own backyard at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa — and historically, featuring a hometown team — many in the area are excited about this year’s match-up between local football heroes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic will likely affect how many people watch the Super Bowl this year, though. In the past, many might have opted to host a large Super Bowl watch party or to head out to a local watering hole for the game.

So, what are your options this year? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has offered guidelines for watching Super Bowl LV. The CDC suggests watching the game at home with those you live with or enjoying a virtual watch party.

“If you do have a small gathering with people who don’t live with you, outdoors is safer than indoors. This year choose a safer way to enjoy the game,” the CDC said.

If you host an outdoor viewing party, use a projector screen to broadcast the game. Also, make sure guests are wearing masks and are six feet apart, the CDC added.

For many Super Bowl fans, the snacks are as important as the game. Just because you’re staying in this year or scaling down your guest list doesn’t mean you have to have to forgo your favorite game-day munchies.
