Sports bars and restaurants are extremely popular places for sports fan to converge for the big game. Everyone at Buffalo Wild Wings seemed excited for the start of college football season, and were anxious to watch their team play.

"It makes Saturdays that much more enjoyable and important, and I'm just having a good time getting together with buddies, coming out having some fun watching the football games and watching people compete."

Buffalo Wild Wings' staff says they're ready for when hoards of college football fans come through the doors to watch the games today.

"Every football season we bring in two or three bartenders, we have a good bit of servers in the range of 12 to 14 or maybe even more, and then for cooks, we have maybe 6 to 7 cooks, especially at night."

At Buffalo Wild Wings, they plan days ahead of time to decide what game they're going to show on what TV so the customers don't miss a second of the NCAA action.

"We get a TV guide from the owner and we pull up all the main sports on the TVs, we actually have them autotuned for that big game."

Fans will continue to pack out places like Buffalo Wild Wings for the rest of the season, and business owners couldn't be happier.
