Super Bowl, Super Party

Unlike other parties, which regularly occur in gathering places of all shapes and sizes, Super Bowl parties happen almost exclusively in the home. The television as a necessary party apparatus partially explains this phenomenon, though there’s never enough couch space, and Jenny always makes her Mexican layer dip with olives,...

Unlike other parties, which regularly occur in gathering places of all shapes and sizes, Super Bowl parties happen almost exclusively in the home. The television as a necessary party apparatus partially explains this phenomenon, though there’s never enough couch space, and Jenny always makes her Mexican layer dip with olives, which everyone hates. Plus, no one has a television large enough to see around Phil’s fat head.

Good thing the Soiled Dove Underground has two six-foot movie screens, tiered seating, an all-you-can-eat buffet and bottomless Bud/Bud Light drafts and well drinks at its Ultimate Super Bowl Party. “It’s just so great to be able to watch the game on those big screens versus the forty-inch screen you might have at home,” says Helen Wood, director of marketing for the Dove. “We have a lot of fun things going on that some might not get at their home parties.”

Fun things such as a squares pool, quarterly raffles and the giveaway of a four-burner gas grill, not to mention the Jäger Girls. It all starts at 3 p.m. Tickets are $35 and available in advance at www.soileddove.com. The Soiled Dove is at 7401 East First Avenue in Lowry. Get more information at 303-366-0007.
