Patriots Fans Prep For Super Bowl Sunday

SOMERVILLE (CBS) – If there's one thing New England Patriots fans know how to do, it's prepare for a Super Bowl.

The Somerville Market Basket was so busy, shoppers could barely get through the aisles.

"People walking all around you, pushing you out of the way sometimes," said shopper Chris Bartee.

The line to checkout was even worse, stretching all the way around the store.

"It's definitely like a stampede," said Marckengy Destin, of Cambridge.

Shoppers filled their carts with their game day favorites, from chicken wings to chips and dip.

For many Patriots fans, it was the pre-game before the pre-game. Most of the bars in South Boston were packed with patrons with lines out the door. It's a sign that it'll be even busier Sunday morning.

Louis Johnson has been the bouncer at Stats Bar and Grille for four years and says there's an outrageous line to get in every Super Bowl Sunday.

"This is nothing compared to tomorrow. It'll probably be down to the corner, around the corner. They want to get in. They want to watch the game," said Johnson.

Whether you're watching at home or from the bars, this is how Patriots Nation does the Super Bowl.
