Reserve ahead. Popular bars fill fast for marquee matches — call or book a table for big games and early kickoffs.
Arrive early. Get there 30–45 minutes before kickoff for a good screen and a seat.
Plan your ride. Keep rideshare and walking routes in mind, especially late at night after evening matches.
