Costa Rica News & Events – Although there is a presidential election in Costa Rica Sunday many of the expats in Costa Rica will be glued to the televisions that afternoon not watching election results on Canal 7; they will be getting ready for the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos doing battle on the gridiron in the 2014 Super Bowl and trying to decide which commercials are the best.
San Jose
In San Jose, Costa Rica, there’s a large population of expats and tourists who will be glued to the giant TV screens at one of the sports bars. It will take place this Sunday at 4:30pm Costa Rican time. Most of the top places will charge cover charges and you will need to make reservations.
One of the best places to watch the game is at The Sportsmens Lodge in San Jose. It’s an upscale sports bar with plenty of space and TV monitors. The Lodge has great food during the game as well as the ability to place bets before and during the game. During the Super Bowl the working girls that frequent the bar are normally not allowed.
