15 ways to watch Super Bowl XLIX in Philadelphia

See the big game at local bars and clubs

Despite Deflate Gate, Super Bowl XLIX will play on this Sunday. Sure, you could stay inside and order wings and pizza - but you'd be wasting the biggest sports holiday of the year in the city with the rowdiest football fans. Plus, since the Eagles won't be in the game you can (responsibly) drink your sorrows away while enjoying food specials, big screens and Katy Perry with your fellow Philadelphians. Misery loves company, right?
