Instead, it has become the hyped-up party fest of the year. The hype surrounding the Super Bowl upstages the game itself. It has become a commercialized party and event time. S uper Bowl parties are the first hype that ruins the game. Where there are tailgates and big screen televisions, there are always Super Bowl parties.
People party there all night long.
The loud music and the people talking usually drown out the game. They drink and eat and smoke as long as the supplies hold out. Nobody seriously watches the game. It was never off, but nobody else watched it. We, instead, played games, ate snacks, and drank drinks.
