Super Bowl: What 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, if you don't care who covers the spread, the East Bay offers plenty to do that afternoon that has nothing 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.

Here's a few suggestions:
