Where To Watch The Big Game In Asbury Park

ASBURY PARK, NJ — 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 Asbury Park.

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 contest was decided in the final seconds, when a Patriots interception in the end zone halted the Seahawks' late-game drive.

If you want someone else to make the snacks or serve the beer, several sports bars in Asbury Park 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.
