“The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.”- Lewis Grizzard

With the Big Game approaching in just a few days, it’s time to think about what the best way possible to watch it is. Will you enjoy this 49th modern-era National Football League championship game inside the comforts of your apartments in Oakland or head to a local bar instead?

The Big Game is scheduled for February 3, 2019 and it will decide the league champion for the 2018 NFL season. As of September 19, 2018, it was reported that Maroon 5 is supposed to perform during the halftime show, though neither the NFL nor Maroon 5 have confirmed the reports. Regardless of who’s performing, it should be a good time.

Either way, it’s a wonderful opportunity to get friends and family together while you bond over a common team. If you decide to stay in your apartments in Oakland, consider serving a little BBQ to make the occasion that much more festive. Use these tips to create the most savory, tender appetizers of all.

Enjoy watching the game this February 3rd and best of luck to the team you’re rooting for. As Terry Pratchett says, “The thing about football – the important thing about football – is that it is not just about football.”
