The standard of excellence for Tampa Bay sports radio is set by 620 WDAE-AM, The Sports Animal. And greatness for food and entertainment is defined at The Venue, on Ulmerton Road in Clearwater, with two stellar restaurants and several lounges, private dining areas, spectacular sports viewing and more.

And the two have joined forces for the ultimate Big Game party kicking off hours before the Super Bowl and running into the night.

Why settle for the smoky neighborhood dive bar with lousy burgers and soggy fries with small standard-def TVs and the gravely-voiced 50-something barmaid who constantly tries to talk to you while you are attempting to watch the game?

You are better than that!

The Venue will offer a buffet that will not be beaten. For a mere $40, patrons can dine on prime rib, wings, BBQ chicken, Cuban sandwiches, shrimp, smoked amberjack, sushi and more! The buffet also includes two free drinks.

And you can win a table for you and three friends. Hear how by clicking on the audio below or visit 620WDAE.com.

Party patrons also can watch (and listen to) live radio broadcasts prior to the game by two of Joe’s closest friends, the Mike Mayock of the Tampa Bay area, NFL draft guru Justin Pawlowski, who is on the air at 2 p.m. Before the Super Bowl kickoff, the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, “The Big Dog,” Steve Duemig, will no doubt break down the game like no other.

High-rollers can also, for a fee, reserve prime seats, tables, sky boxes and VIP rooms, which includes the aforementioned buffet. For details on the special packages, click here for information or call (727) 571-2222 for reservations.
