Family place to eat before/after Maryland v M hoops in College Park, MD?
Wolverines-
Embarassingly enough, I live in DC along with countless guys I went to school with and have gotten to know over the years. We've tailgated at College Park since I am told they are a Big Ten school. But I've never gone to a hoops game and have no idea where to park myself and my 7 year old daughter before or after the game for some wings and beers. Lil' help, colleagues? Closer to the Comcast thingy stadium/campus the better but whatever works.
Go Blue!!

We ate at RJ Bentley's before walking over to the football stadium this year. Was a great atmosphere with many football games on-Typical American bar food. Right on the edge of campus so the short walk to the stadium made for a nice time.

Bentley's is definitely not a "Family spot"

re parking but not a place to eat, many bball game attendees park on the highway shoulder. it's allowed for games. it's weird because at first you'll see hundreds of cars parked on the highway right next to no parking signs, but eventually you'll hit cops directing you to the highway shoulder. that's the best place to park for bball games and you'll be able to get out quickly.

Food average at both, but great drinking/sports bar atmosphere at both.

The original Ledo's Pizza (in its new location on Route 1.,
January 17th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Ledo's is really good stuff.
January 17th, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
Seriously, it’s inedible. Whenever I see someone recommend Ledo’s, I die inside.

have you been to the original or only franchises?

Not the place for wings, but there is a Bobby's (Flay) Burger Palace at University of Maryland about 1/2 mile from the Xfinity Center that may you might consider for you and your daughter.

I went to the one in Vegas and I was plesantly surprised. I had low expectations going in, but it ended being pretty good.

If you and your family likes Chicken go to Sardis there is one few minutes drive from campus
January 17th, 2018 at 2:44 PM ^
That's the shortest walk to a bar from Xfinity. It's filled more with alumni so it'll be less crazy.

Ate at Looney's prior to the football game this year. It was pretty crowded. Basic campus eatery with many TV screens, good beer selection and better than average bar food.

Mission Barbeque, if you are a barbeque fan. About a mile from campus, just of the highway. Great supporter of our Troops. Family ate there on vacation last summer.

For your 7 year old....

Better than sugary concoctions like Kool Aid? Maybe? Keeps her quiet.

There is one in front of the school campus! I parked there 3 years ago when we played the Maryland football game and their Sprites are like no other restaurant.

I highly recommend Papusareia la Familiar.

Potomac Pizza has absolutely outstanding pizza, wings, etc 7777 Baltimore Avenue, College Park Maryland, 20740. (240) 582-5242. We have eaten there and definitely recommended it. Best of all, owned by a UM family with a current UM student! If you bump into the owners, tell ‘em VanBluegens sent you!

Is always a good spot. Not sure what it's like during game day, but I'm pretty sure it's packed before and after the game.

CP definitely not a dining out mecca. Hard Times does have some tasty grilled wings. Also known for their chili. But get the wings!
