You don't have to be a Villanova student or alum to take advantage of their big match up against Duke Thursday night.
Here are some great places to cheer on the Wildcats. These local bars are offering specials to serve the March Madness crowds. You can't avoid the madness.
If you're in the Villanova area and want to watch the game with crazed, drunk students, try Brownies 23 East in Ardmore, Pa. The bar is opening two hours early (7 p.m.) to kick off the big game. Wings: 25 cents, slice of pizza: $1.00, draft beer: $2.00, watching Villanova versus Duke with die hard 'Nova fans: priceless.
In the South Philly area, the South Philly Bar and Grill (right by Pat's and Geno's Steaks) is offering $2.50 Yuenglings. After the game there will be a beer pong tournament because Thursdays are college nights, after all.
