2011 Super Bowl Party/Event Primer

The Super Bowl is not all about the game itself.  Every year, brands spend a great amount of money on the parties and events leading up to the game.  I have had the opportunity to attend many of the events surrounding last year’s Super Bowl and Super Bowl XLIII, which was held in Tampa Bay in 2009.  It ends up being a really interesting gathering of athletes, celebrities, sports business professionals, and random people associated with the brands throwing the events.  Want to know where to go in Dallas?  We have you covered.
