LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - With Super Bowl 46 just a week away, some Lafayette businesses are preparing for extra crowds to come to town.
Buffalo Wild Wings Manager Michael Jones said he and his staff are expecting big crowds for Super Bowl 46. He said normally for Super Bowl weekends, Buffalo Wild Wings has a packed dining room and is constantly busy with take-out orders for parties. That's why he said his restaurant is extra prepared for this year's big game to take place a little closer to home.
"We get extra wings, boneless. You know, the sides: celery, bleu cheese, ranch. We get extra bottles of the sauce and the seasoning so that way people pre-ordered a day in advance and that way they can bring it home, reheat it themselves, and add their own sauce," said Jones.
Jones said he and his staff are not only preparing for the Super Bowl but also for two other events taking place weekend.
"Saturday is the Purdue/I-U game so we should have a big crowd for that. Then afterwards we have the UFC paperview," said Jones.
Amanda Gordon of the Lafayette and West Lafayette Convention and? Visitors Bureau in late December said since Lafayette was chosen as a Super Celebration Site by? the NFL, local hotels are also expecting to be busy next weekend.
"Up to three hours out from the actual location of the Super Bowl, people will see hotel rooms and guests will stay in those areas. Because of our accessibility off the interstate, we were obviously a natural site," said Gordon.
Gordon said having the Super Bowl so close to the Lafayette area will really help boost business for the local for hotels and restaurants. Kick off is at 7 p.m. next Sunday.
