It's Fall... Santa Clarita Do You Have A Favorite Place To Watch Your Professional Football Team?

To most people fall means schools are back in session, it's cooling down,(except in Santa Clarita) and the leaves are changing colors, but to me it's time for football! As a transplant from Minnesota and a die hard fan of the Vikings (yes we now have Brett Favre as QB) I occasionally run into Vikings fans out here in the Southern California area, or many of you are also transplants from other parts of the country and have your team favorites. Fall gives many of us a way to re-connect to our home states through our football teams. Santa Clarita has many great places to view your favorite games but nowhere where a specific teams fans can come together to cheer their team on. I ran accross this list of Los Angeles and Orange County establishments that are team specific. If you have been to any of these establishments to watch a game I would love to hear from you.
