Where To Watch The Big Game In Woodridge

WOODRIDGE, IL — 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 here in and around Woodridge.

The battle for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy takes place this year at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. In their last big game meeting in 2015, the Patriots secured a 28-24 comeback victory over the Seahawks. The epic contest was decided in the final seconds when a Patriots interception of a Seahawks pass resulted in a game-winning touchdown.

If you want someone else to make the snacks or serve the beer, several sports bars in Woodridge are primed for the handoff. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. ET, but you’ll want to get there early to make sure you get a spot.

For a unique twist, you can take your pooch to Happy Dog Barkery in Downers Grove to enjoy treats and "dog beer" for their Big Game celebration. They're open from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
