March Madness in Breckenridge

March 12, 2018/in Activities in Breckenridge, Breckenridge Information /by Nicole DeCesare

Although our Basketball courts are filled with snow in March, March Madness fever is still prevalent here in Breckenridge. As Spring Breakers come and fill the town, many people come from all over the country rooting for their favorite College Basketball team, myself included, GO ZAGS!

Play along with the locals as they cheer on their favorite teams and try to win some extra cash. Here in Breckenridge, many local restaurants have March Madness square boards where you have the chance to win money on every game that is played during the tournament. Check out these hot spots in town where you can purchase a square and join in on the fun!

Mi Casa

Purchase a March Madness square for only $20. Each round and each game pay out money, so you’ll have multiple opportunities to win some cash. As the rounds go on, the payout for winning the square for that game goes up. If you want more information, contact Mi Casa at (970) 453 2071.

Fatty’s Pizzeria

Fatty’s is a bit more select with a local’s-only board. The buy in for a team is $50 and is a double-blind draw. If you have more questions, contact Fatty’s at (970) 453 9802.
