Welcome to 2021 – the year it became legal to gamble on the Super Bowl, but illegal to watch the whole event at a restaurant or bar.
Michigan’s new 10 p.m. curfew on indoor dining poses a dilemma for bars and restaurants this Sunday. In the past 20 years, 70% of the Super Bowls have ended later than 10 p.m.

MARQUETTE Michigan bars and restaurants will reopen for indoor dining at 25% capacity on Feb. 1, with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services releasing its new epidemic order on Friday.
The order will allow for indoor dining at restaurants with certain requirements; concessions at casinos, movie theaters and stadiums; personal services requiring mask removal; and non-residential gatherings of up to 10 people from two households, according to the State Emergency Operations Center.
The new order will last until Feb. 21.
“The pause has worked,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement. “The efforts we have made together to protect our families, front-line workers and hospitals have dramatically reduced cases and we have saved lives. Now, we are confident that starting Feb. 1, restaurants can resume indoor dining with safety measures in place.

Californiaâs restaurant and hospitality industry rebounded in October, adding 66,000 jobs last month as they unemployment rate in the state dipped below 10% for the first time since March. But the gains are likely to be short-lived as a surge of new COVID-19 cases has prompted new restrictions on businesses, forcing most restaurants to halt indoor dinning during the winter months. Francisco Medina, manager of Mayahuel, has tables at least 6 feet apart d and has had tents installed over the outdoor eating areas. But he has had to temporarily reduce staffing because of a drop in business due to the restrictions caused by the pandemic. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)
