New York might have the bright lights and attractions, but the biggest game in town will ultimately be played in New Jersey.
Many Garden State municipalities are jumping at the chance to capitalize on next month’s Super Bowl, which will take place in the heart of southern Bergen County at MetLife Stadium. And a little extra revenue for Main Street businesses isn’t the only name of this game – towns such as Ridgewood are also hoping to showcase their small-town charm and conjure up the residents’ Big Game spirit.
The Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce has organized a week-long Super Bowl pep rally, and the festivities include something for everyone, from the casual fan to the die-hard, from the novice to the Monday morning quarterback, from the gridiron rookie to its most aged veteran. And Jets and Giants fans don’t have to be green with envy or feel blue at home because their teams aren’t playing: Everyone’s invited to Ridgewood’s party.
Organizers have designated four major hubs where football action and activities will take place. The zone concept is something Ridgewood has used in the past, said Joan Groome, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce.

Mister Mayor –
Forget the game and get the Christmas trees picked up.
Also sand the streets and bridges tonight…it’s going to ice up like no one’s business later on.
They should hire more DPW workers so they can huddle too.
