NEWPORT BEACH – On the morning of Super Bowl Sunday, American Legion’s Newport Harbor Post 291 hosted more than 400 people – mostly Marines and other military personnel from Camp Pendleton and local veterans – with a Super Bowl party that looked mostly like a manly carnival.
Guests walked underneath a large inflatable tunnel shaped like an eagle while organizers and volunteers clapped as they went by.
A mechanical bull and ping pong and arm-wrestling tables stood on the grass, while inside the hall were masseuses, cigars, a manicure station, a yoga demonstration and rooms adorned with 10 flat-screen TVs to watch the game.
Dylan Breault, a 20-year-old Marine from Somerset, Wis., stood outside a hallway waiting for a friend who was getting a massage.
