Gallery: Residence halls go big for Super Bowl LIX with viewing parties

February 11, 2025 by Sarah Thompson

This past weekend’s Super Bowl LIX gave ACU’s residence halls a chance to engage their communities with food, fellowship and competition. This year, halls served a variety of wings, pizza, snacks and drinks for residents to enjoy. Residents could watch the Super Bowl in their lobbies and were also given extended open house hours if they chose to watch with friends in their rooms.
