Sports Grill to Open in Vito's Spot by End of March, Diamondback Reports

Owner says it'll be a place for students and residents to both enjoy.

Big Play Sports Grill is set to open before the end of March, following disagreements between the bar's owner and the city, The Diamondback reported this week.

Owner Andre Hopson promises an intimate, upscale atmosphere, appropriate for students, families, residents and young professionals alike; it'll be "a step up from what you may normally see in College Park," he told The Diamondback.

The menu consultant for the venue plans to bring in an eclectic selection of food made from scratch, The Sentinel reported in November, after the College Park City Council voted to approve the restaurant's property use agreement, stipulating that the grill hold off on the sale of liquor for its first six months of operation.
