With Madonna, Cirque Du Soleil, and Jamie King lined up for halftime entertainment and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson singing the Star Spangled Banner, even less-than-fervant football fans will find lots to enjoy.

Check out these prime spots for viewing, cheering, and celebrating - including the best choice of all.

1. Boston Sports Bars

Patriots fans will pack every sports bar in Boston - and we have plenty of them! You can expect all the sports bars around Fenway and TD Garden to be packed, but with plenty of big screens, you'll have a good chance at a great view.

Don't forget to wear your Patriots gear, and come ready to have some serious fun!

2. More Places with Big Screens in Boston

If you want to avoid the crowds at Boston's sports bars but still watch the big game with like-minded folk in a convivial setting and perhaps enjoy a good meal, remember that virtually every restaurant in the city has a bar, and just about every bar in Boston has at least one or two big screens - even if there's no sports memorabilia in sight.

Think out of the box, and you'll come up with some attractive options - for example, North 26 near Faneuil Marketplace, Jacob Wirth in the Theatre District, Warren Tavern in Charlestown, Brasserie Jo in Back Bay, even the original Cheers on Beacon Street in Beacon Hill.

Check our guide to Boston restaurants by neighborhood and cuisine for more ideas.

3. Patriot Place - Go to the Patriots' Home Territory

True, the Pats are playing in Indianapolis, not Gillette Stadium - but you can still head down to Foxborough, have a tailgate party in the parking lot, and then watch the game at any of the great sports bars in Patriot Place next to Gillette.

If you're planning to really party, don't drive back to Boston unless you have a designated driver. Stay at the Renaissance Hotel at Patriot Place or one of the other nearby hotels. Since the Patriots are NOT playing at Gillette, you should be able to get attractive rates.

That's right - check out Priceline's last minute deals on flights to Indianapolis. Book a hotel room and rental car through Priceline while you're at it.

5. Have a Non-Sports Day

Let's face it - not everyone loves football, even if the Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl.

If that describe you, you'll find plenty of reasons to enjoy Super Bowl in Sunday without seeing a single football player.

Once the game starts, Boston will seem deserted, as long as you're not in a sports bar or anywhere else with a big screen.

This is your chance to enjoy your favorite activities without having to compete with other fans for tickets, parking, or reservations.

So check out schedules in Boston theatres, go ice skating on Frog Pond, head to a ski slope near Boston, or plan a leisurely dinner in your favorite restaurant.

Just remember that once the game ends, people will surge out into the streets again - hopefully to celebrate!
