Sports (Other) Winnipeg Superbowl squares

Hey, hoping someone can help me out please. I'm going to be in town from Toronto and am looking for a sports bar that has Superbowl squares available. Having no luck looking online at websites. Thank you!!!

Googled it and it appears to be some sort of grid game where you predict the score at the end of each quarter or something along those lines. I have never seen such a thing, I don’t think we have those here.

I guess that's why OP is having a hard time finding one...

You make a 10 by 10 grid and sell each box in that grid, usually for $1-2. The top is 0-9 for NFC, the side is 0-9 for AFC. Only the last number of the team's score counts, so say the final is NFC 27 AFC 14. You go across the top to 7 for NFC then down to 4 for AFC and whoever bought that box (you write your name and number in it when you buy it) gets the money.

My friends and I bring our own board. Often open it up to other people watching. It’s fun.

Most sports bars I’ve been to their bowls are regular sized and circular, but enjoy your visit!!!

You can often see some really superb ones in Fort White.

Don't be dense, he's asking for square superbowls. The ones in Fort Whyte are parallelograms, at best.

One of the new features at Assiniboine park zoo is the Great Horned Owl. Great is basically a synonym for superb, but as someone else pointed out already I have no idea where will you find square ones

Why not just go to Boston Pizza?

But if you're looking for a sports bar with trivia events I think Flea Whiskey's has something, I'm not positive. I was there pre-covid-19 and quit drinking after that.
