Exciting News for Oxford Super Bowl Fans!
This Sunday is set to be a thrilling day for sports fans in Oxford, as the city gears up for Super Bowl LVIII. The air is buzzing with excitement, and there’s one more reason to cheer: the Oxford Board of Aldermen have officially approved extended hours for alcohol sales at local restaurants and bars!
Celebrate the Big Game with Extra Time
If you’re planning to catch the big game, you’ll be glad to know that you can enjoy your favorite drinks a little longer. Typically, on Sundays, alcohol sales in Oxford stop at 9 p.m. But for the Super Bowl this year, that cutoff is pushed back to 11 p.m. Thanks to a resolution passed on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, fans can sip and savor their beverages while rooting for their teams until the end of the game.
Before you raise your glass, remember that the resolution still needs the green light from Mississippi’s Alcoholic Beverage Control. Once that happens, the extended hours will be official, and everyone will be ready to kick back and enjoy the festivities.
Get Ready for the Matchup
This Super Bowl is shaping up to be an epic showdown, as the San Francisco 49ers are set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs at the renowned Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Both teams have had remarkable seasons, and fans are eager to see who will take home the coveted championship trophy!
And it wouldn’t be a Super Bowl without an unforgettable halftime show! This year, the stage will be lit up by none other than the multi-talented Usher, who is sure to deliver a performance that fans won’t forget anytime soon. So, whether you’re a football fanatic or just in it for the halftime entertainment, there’s something for everyone this Sunday.
