The big Super Bowl rematch starts at 6:30 p.m. Here's a look at some parties going on around Dunedin: 1) Eddie's Bar & Grill. The restaurant is known for its annual $50 all-you-can-eat-and-drink Super Bowl party (6 p.m. to end of regulation play, deal is for domestic, wells and house wine and special menu).
