Shopping-wise, the Super Bowl already resembles some national holidays. Like Christmas, the Super Bowl has discounts of its own with game merchandise marked down.

"I don't know if it should be a holiday," said St. Clairsville resident Sam Ferguson. "But it shouldn't be a work day if one of your teams is in the game!"
