Best Places to Watch a College Game

The best places to watch a college game are those that have enough space for everyone who wants to attend, yet at the same time are crowded enough to provide all the jostling, cheering elbow-to-elbow excitement fans expect.

They should also have a surplus of mouth-watering, cholesterol-spiking edibles like hotdogs, nachos, popcorn, pretzels, etc. And don’t forget the drinks. Beer on tap is the best way to go, especially if the venue lets you double-fist it.

Sports bars are a great place to go if you can’t attend the college game in person. Choose one with comfortable booths that give you full range of all of its televisions (and it should have plenty). Make sure the game of your choice is playing on at least one of those TVs, or request it beforehand. Invite your friends, order some burgers and fries, and prepare to cheer for your favorites.

Another great place to watch a college game is on your living room couch, surrounded by friends, with the barbeque grill working overtime on the patio. Make sure you get the right channels for the games you want to watch, double-check the times, arrange for enough seating for everyone, and divide up the grocery list among everyone who’s coming.

If you are close enough to a sports arena to attend the college game in person and you’ve already scored some tickets, make sure to arrive early enough to find a good parking spot or consider taking public transportation.

Here’s a list in USA Today on January 18, 2008, from author and sports commentator John Feinstein, about the best places to watch college games:

10. Cassell Coliseum (Virginia Tech)

9. O’Connell Center (University of Florida)

8. Mackey Arena (Purdue University)

7. Hart Recreation Center (Holy Cross)

6. University Arena (University of New Mexico)

5. Rose Hill Gym (Fordham University)

4. Pauley Pavilion (UCLA)

3. Allen Fieldhouse (University of Kansas)

2. Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke University)

1. The Palestra (University of Pennsylvania)

Games From Childhood

I recently have rediscovered the old-school board games I used to play when I was young, and I remembered how much I enjoyed playing them. Lately, on weekends I just want to play Life or Scrabble or Clue. These games may seem juvenile but they always produce a great time when playing them with friends. In fact, my friends and I have been having “retro game parties” where we all get together and play the games from our childhoods.

I have noticed that the game changes as you get older also. Strategies become more intense and there is a different level of play. When we were young we put three letter words on the scrabble board, and now, were trying for the seven-letter word bonus! If you haven’t played these games for a while, I highly recommend giving them a try; they may even be more fun now than how you remembered them.

Games are a great way to provide entertainment for your friends and family. Playing games increases your sense of togetherness, can entertain people for hours, and is a great way to improve your child’s learning and education. Games that teach children about history, geography, math, science and/or literature are a great way to have fun while also sneaking in a little extra homework time. There are thousands of games that are designed to improve social skills, comprehension, and concentration. Many families have a game room or a shelf of games readily on hand to play after dinner and on weekends. Make sure to purchase games that allow your entire family to participate. Make sure the game allows for a large enough amount of players and allows small children to participate if there are small children in your household. If not, buy a game for the children and a game for the adults to play side by side, or assist the children as they play their games.
