Like any other event affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Super Bowl will look a little different this year, but there are still ways to enjoy the game with outdoor viewing in February Florida weather.

The NFL game is one of the most-watched events in the world, drawing more than 80 million viewers every year since 1990. But it's not just about watching the game. It's the halftime show, which this year stars The Weeknd, and the specially crafted commercials that cost advertisers roughly $5 million for a 30-second spot. And let's not also forget about the important stuff: the camaraderie, the food and the beer.

Call your pod and check out this list to help plan your Super Bowl Sunday, at family-friendly venues with outdoor seating, game viewing, food and drink.
