Super Bowl: What's the Best Thing to Do If You Don't Watch the Game?
With much of the Bay Area distracted, it's a great opportunity for activities that normally would be overcrowded on a Sunday.
If you don't care whether the San Francisco 49ers or Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl on Sunday and you don't want to be near anybody who does, the East Bay offers plenty to do that afternoon that doesn't have anything to do with football.
If you're planning a non-sports outing or know of such events, let us and your fellow Patch readers know about them in the comments section.
