Mardi Gras revelers put parading on pause for Super Bowl parties

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – Many people coming from parades decided to stop by The Station Bar and Grill in Baton Rouge Louisiana.

“We’re at the station, we’re having a Super Bowl party and we’re just gonna have fun and watch the game, and see how many times they say Taylor Swift’s name,” said Suzanne Edmonson, patron of The Station.

Just focusing on having a good time, the room was mixed on who they wanted to win.

“I’m excited to see Brock Purdy, Mrs. irrelevant winning the Superbowl, that’s the best part of it, and seeing a bunch of people having fun, getting drunk, and enjoying football,” said Carson McLellan, Bartender at The Station.

“Whichever team my man is on. That is who I will be rooting for, but I am rooting for Usher at halftime,” said Kaitlyn Withers, Bartender at The Station.

The party was large and loud, consisting of a live band, an elaborate photo booth, and of course, the celebration was done exactly as expected in south Louisiana.

But more than anything, people in Louisiana are excited to host next year’s Super Bowl.

“I’m excited for that, I’m hoping the saints make it again, that would be reality exciting, or you know, Joe Burrow. If he makes it to the Super Bowl next year if Joey B is at the Super Bowl, even if he’s just watching, I’m going,” added Withers.

“Yes we’re gonna go, we’re definitely gonna go,” explained Edmonson.
