The Common's New Game Zone Welcomes Terps Fans

COLLEGE PARK, MD--(Marketwired - Aug 5, 2016) -  With another big football season on the horizon, it's time for Terps fans to start planning where to party for home games -- and The Common's Game Zone inside the centrally located UMD hotel is the area's newest hot spot.

A natural extension of The Common's popular bar, the Game Zone welcomes University of Maryland fans with a slew of food and beverage specials delivered with fast and efficient tableside service. This newly expanded area at The Common has an unbeatable location inside the College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. The University of Maryland hotel's location is a short walk from Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium.

"The Common's creative American menu, artisan spirits and craft beers on tap attract alumni, faculty and parents visiting students at the College Park campus. We're giving them another reason to make The Common part of their game day celebrations," says Mike McCarthy, general manager at the College Park, Maryland hotel.

A festive vibe and new Pub Grub menu are star attractions in the Game Zone. Featured selections range from Maryland-style loaded potato skins with crab dip and Gridiron Wings to short ribs and marinara meatballs. Raise a glass to victory with favorite regional drafts such as Flying Dog and Heavy Seas. The College Park, Maryland restaurant has added extra televisions in the Game Zone to help get fans revved up for football. Guests will have the opportunity to snag Terps-themed giveaways.

The Game Zone at The Common will offer game day partying for Terps home football games on the following Saturdays in 2016: Oct. 1, 15 and 22 and Nov. 12 and 26. It will be active before or after the games, depending on kick-off time.
