Abbey Burger Bistro's Fells Point room is a known gathering spot for Wisconsin fans on Badgers football Saturdays, a build-your-own burger joint that fills with maroon and white on game day. The same room carries Green Bay Packers Sundays, giving it a second crowd through the NFL season. Order a build-your-own burger, picking your own toppings at the counter, and pair it with a beer while the game plays on the screens around the room.

iBar is a Maryland Avenue dive bar that runs every Buffalo Bills game with sound in its own designated downstairs den, drawing the neighborhood's Bills fans even for early kickoffs. The kitchen is built around its own Buffalo-style wings, a fitting match for the team the room is known for hosting. Order the Buffalo-style wings at the bar and head downstairs for the sound when a Bills game is on, rather than watching a muted screen upstairs.

MaGerk's Pub & Grill is a Federal Hill corner bar built around Ohio State football, backing the Buckeyes with game-day fare that includes the cheesesteak the room is known for around the neighborhood. The same bar carries Philadelphia Eagles Sundays, giving it a second fan base through the NFL season. Order the cheesesteak, the room's signature plate, and take a stool at the corner bar before kickoff on a Buckeyes or Eagles game day.

Delia Foley's is a Federal Hill pub that backs Michigan football, its upstairs bar decked out in blue for Wolverines Saturdays so the room can watch the action from Ann Arbor together. The kitchen is known around Federal Hill for its wings alongside the rest of a classic pub menu. Order the wings upstairs, where the blue decor and the crowd make it plain which team the room is behind that day.

Alexander's Tavern is a Fells Point bar where Baltimore's Virginia Tech alumni gather for Hokies football, pouring buckets of Devils Backbone, the Virginia brewery's own beer, through the game. The room marks Hokie touchdowns with a round of shots, keeping the bar tuned to the scoreboard rather than just the screens. Order a bucket of Devils Backbone and find a seat among the maroon and orange on a Virginia Tech Saturday.
