As Super Bowl LV kicked off, residents across the Santa Clarita Valley waited in lines outside of restaurants to pick up their take-out orders to return home and watch the game.
Aaron Pilsney stood outside of Buffalo Wild Wings in Canyon Country, hoping to make it home before the halftime show with his food.
“I drew the short straw and had to come grab the food,” he said, chuckling as he refreshed the score on his phone. “We usually come here and watch the game every year, but had to improvise, so we’re bringing BWWs home instead.”
This year’s celebration looked a bit different for some, with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s revised health order allowing restaurants to reopen for outdoor dining just over a week ago, yet prohibiting TVs, as health officials weighed the consequences the upcoming Super Bowl game could have on COVID-19 figures.
