Best Bars To Watch Super Bowl 2014 In Minnesota
One of the best things about living in Minnesota is the sports. Minnesotans support five major league sports teams and actively watch games throughout the year. Although it has been decades since the Vikings made the Super Bowl, the game is still watched religiously throughout the state. This year, Super Bowl 2014 will be played outdoors in a cold-weather stadium. Watch the excitement going on at MetLife Stadium from one of these fantastic sports bars.
