Super Bowl Celebrations

February 8, 2010

Parties are thrown across the country on Super Bowl Sunday, and Liberty University was no exception. There were many environments for students to chose from to watch the big game, such as the party held in Tilley Student Center. The student center has about a dozen televisions down one side of the room, and just about every couch and chair in the room were brought over in front of them. The crowd was diverse, some students on their computers and others having conversations, and, of course, there were many students who were very into the game, either yelling at the television or cheering on their team. Just about every table was filled with typical Super Bowl snacks such as the pizza and wings sold at the café in Tilley.

Liberty also hosted a party to raise money for the people of Haiti in the large classroom in north campus. It cost four dollars to attend the event that showed the big game as well as fed each student a delicious curry dinner - which smelled awesome! There was a great turn out, so they were thankfully able to raise a lot of money for the Haiti earthquake victims. The environment of the party was much different from that of the Tilley Student Center. Many of the students were standing, walking around and conversing with each other while eating their food as opposed to focusing on the game.

Though there was not a party held here, another place where some students had the option to watch the game was at the Campus East Clubhouse. For years, the clubhouse was always full of fans filling up its couches to watch the game, but it seemed to be a bit more empty this year, perhaps because of the other two parties that were held. Though I can't be certain, I will say that it seemed like most of the students from all three locations were pulling for a Saints victory, and they got their wish!
