Business Headlines: New Fenway Bar; Super Bowl Sales
BOSTON (CBS) - Red Sox fans will have a new place to get a bite or a drink before a game this season.
The Yard House already has a location in Dedham's Legacy Place and they're opening up a new one on Brookline Avenue around the corner from Fenway Park.
It will be a 350-seat location and will include a large outdoor seating area with a patio bar.
It's going in where the Boston Billiard Club used to be.
And if all goes well, it will be open March 11 in plenty of time for opening day.
SUPER BOWL SALES
We've already seen a lot of Patriots fans buy up those AFC championship T-shirts.
But football fans around the country are expected to spend $11 billion on Super Bowl related purchases this year.
These figures are from the National Retail Federation.
A Boston - New York matchup means big time viewers and they're predicting that an all-time record 173-million people will tune in this year and they expect more than 5 million people to buy a new TV for the game.
