Got plans for the big game this weekend? A few hours of TV watching are on tap for many. While all sorts of eating and drinking establishments might be showing the event, a sports bar is a sure thing.
The highest concentration of establishments in the United States with “sports bar” in the name was in the St. Cloud, Minnesota, metropolitan area in first quarter 2024. With a location quotient of 10.1, the area had more than 10 times the average concentration of sports bars for the nation.
For those that want to be around the festivities but not inside the stadium, the New Orleans-Metairie, Louisiana, metropolitan area had more than twice the average concentration of sports bars from which they can watch. The Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington (location quotient of 1.3), and Kansas City (location quotient of 0.7), metropolitan areas’ concentrations were nearer the U.S. average.

What’s a sporting event without food? For the second time in three years, teams from Kansas City and Philadelphia will be squaring off for the big game. We all know how famous Philly is for cheesesteaks, though in that area they are sometimes just referred to as steaks. Establishments with the words “cheesesteak” or “cheese steak” in the name were highly concentrated in some metropolitan areas in the state of Pennsylvania, including Gettysburg (location quotient of 18.9), Lebanon (14.6), and State College (11.7).

Philly is to cheesesteak what KC is to BBQ (or is it). The Kansas City metropolitan area had a slightly higher than average concentration of establishments with “barbecue”, “barbeque”, “BBQ”, or “bar-b-q” in the name. Many metropolitan areas in the south had more than twice the average concentration of barbecue locations.
