Best Bars To Watch College Football In Baltimore

There's no doubt that watching a college football game in a stadium is a rush. But ticket prices are close to $40 for games. Add in airfare and hotel if the team you root for is playing across the country. Even driving to a local stadium can be a hassle. And once you get to the stadium, you have to find a place to park and pay high prices for food and beer. Have you thought about the alternative plan? Watching college football at your neighborhood sports bar or tavern is cheaper, less stressful and probably more enjoyable than fighting the crowds at the stadium. So sit back and watch the game at your local sports bar.
