The colossal sports and dining entertainment complex is a sports fan's dream. Whether you come to watch a big game on the 14-foot screen, the myriad additional TVs tuned to sporting events now in HD, dine in one of several restaurants or play interactive games in the Sports Arena, there is plenty to keep the sports fanatic satisfied for days in this two-level, 35,000-square-foot venue. The menu includes American classics as well as pub grub favorites such as miniature hamburgers, chicken tenders, pork chops, sandwiches and pastas. There is also a children's menu, which includes hot dogs, grilled cheese and peanut- butter-and-jelly sandwiches. Upstairs in the Sports Arena, patrons can either watch the action on many monitors or choose from more than 100 interactive games. Step into the ring for simulated boxing. Challenge your friends with a four-person basketball hoop game. Climb aboard a NASCAR car and take it for a spin. Or climb the rock wall. For those looking for a little luxury, ''skyboxes,'' plush leather armchairs and private rooms are available to rent. -- Audarshia Townsend
