SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Thursday evening, millions of eyes around the world will be on the Irish, and among them fans celebrating from a number of hot spots in the team’s home territory.

Bars across South Bend will all have food, drinks, and a showing of the historic game!

ABC57’s Jackie Bauer checked in with Taphouse on the Edge with their plans ahead of the game.

"Obviously, it's already been a magical year, and we're very excited for tomorrow's game.. I think the city is as anxious as I am to get there, and very confident in the team, and really looking forward to tomorrow, and there's a great chance of having them play one more game,” said Coowner Jeff Morauski.

All eager to watch the Fighting Irish take on The Nittany Lions for a chance to head to the CFP National Championship.
