Many restaurants cater to tailgating parties and will deliver right to your front door – just be sure to order in advance!

This is the first year the Super Bowl will be streamed over the Internet – providing the opportunity to catch each (Patriots!) touchdown on a mobile device. Playing into the competitive spirit, the Interactive Ad Bureau developed this infographic to compare mobile savviness between the Patriots and the Giants. Both audiences track above the national average, but the Patriots win the contest. Pretty amazing to see the prolific use of smart phones nationwide.
