Tens of thousands of football fans are descending on Indianapolis to watch Super Bowl 46. But millions more are willing to forgo the headaches of traveling to Indiana over Super Bowl weekend (and in the meantime miss out on cute welcome cards) to simply watch the game closer to home.

Foursquare, the mobile application that lets users check-in to real world places, also lets them record when they're watching events like the Super Bowl. With more than 200,000 people notching their Super Bowl parties last year, the company collected mountains of data on where they were watching, too.

Here then are the most popular bars for watching the game, at least according to last year's stats.
