Super Football Watching in SoWal

We live in the South and no matter how gorgeous the fall weather, or how inviting the silky sand on the beach, on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon everything revolves around football. Here's our latest SoWal List for great places to catch your favorite team. Don't forget to wear your colors and represent on gameday.
