Timothy's Game Watch
Tomorrow is a special day for the Philly Spartans as we will be hosting TWO great game watches for the Ohio State game, one in the western suburbs and one in the city.  The first one will be at our usual spot, The Field House in Philadelphia.  Check out the event details here:  http://on.fb.me/Q7XVMT.  We always have a great time at the Field House and look forward to cheering on the Spartans with everyone.

For the first time since the Alumni Club started back in 2000, we will be hosting a second game watch outside of the city.   We have more than 4,000 MSU Alumni in the greater Philadelphia region, which includes Delaware and parts of New Jersey.  Since we know it is very hard for many to get to the city we decided to offer a second location to watch the game this week.

We will be hosting the other game watch at Timothy’s in West Chester.  Check out the event details here: http://on.fb.me/USSjdX It is a great sports bar and restaurant conveniently located  off of 202 in the Parkway Shopping Center.  It is literally 20 minutes from Wilmington and 15 minutes from King of Prussia and the parking is FREE!  Timothy’s has a wonderful menu, great TVs and is family friendly.  So bring your kids out to enjoy a little Spartan cheer!

Check out pictures from our last week’s game watch in Philadelphia here: http://on.fb.me/OtDc9p.  We had a great time last week even though we lost power at the Field House and had to change bars to catch the rest of the game.

So come out tomorrow to either location and cheer of the Spartans.  We look forward to seeing many new faces at the game watch in West Chester!

GO GREEN!
