Whether you’re a Michigan or Michigan State fan, the Brighton Howell Area is the perfect place to spend your Gameday. The area is located about 25 miles from Big House and 35 miles from Spartan Stadium. If you want to avoid the crowds and explore outside these college towns, here’s how to have the perfect football Gameday in the Brighton Howell Area. 


Gear Up At The Simply Cherry Collection

The Simply Cherry Collection is one of the best spots to find the cutest spirit wear. Here, you’ll find everything from Detroit Lions sweatshirts to Michigan State and University of Michigan t-shirts. If they don’t have your size on the floor, they can press a shirt or sweatshirt in store for you!  


Watch Kick-Off Over Brunch

During football season, your weekends are loaded with games. Kick off the early games with brunch from an area spot! Enjoy bubbly mimosas, delicious egg dishes, and more with your friends at one of the many places that offer Sunday Brunch.  


Enjoy The Fall Weather On A Outdoor Patio

One great thing about fall weather is it’s almost always the perfect temperature! Enjoy lunch and the game while taking in the crisp fall air on an outdoor patio. You can sit outside and watch the game at restaurants like Label Kitchen + Bar, The Pound, and Bourbons in Brighton


Cheer On Your Team at a Local Sports Bar

The Brighton Howell Area is home to many delicious and unique sports bars. One of them is the unique Hatorando Sushi and Sports Bar in Hartland, Michigan. It offers Gameday viewing along with a Japanese dish—sushi! Other restaurants like Log Cabin in Howell and Lu & Carl’s in Brighton provide classic and fun vibes to cheer on the team. 


Celebrate With a Sweet Treat

It’s fun to win and even more fun to celebrate with a sweet treat! Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind ice cream flavor from Blank Slate Creamery or one of the many treats from the Chocolate Boutique and Bakery in Howell, get the sweet that calls to you.
