Step 1: Select a Venue & Catering

Consider locations with

  • Multiple TVs or a large screen with a host willing to show the game
  • A reserved or private area with no fee to PC
  • Convenient parking or public transit
  • ADA accessibility
  • A venue willing to host a Providence College alumni group

Sports bars, restaurants, alumni-owned establishments, or breweries are great options!
