HILLIARD, Ohio — With the Buckeyes in the Peach Bowl on the same night as New Year’s Eve, Columbus bars and restaurants are expecting a busy weekend.
Some owners predict it will be one of the busiest nights of the year.
“We're going to do it all. We're going to do NYE and the Buckeyes game at the same time,” said Frank Profeta, part owner of Nasty’s Sports Bar in Hilliard.

Over at Roosters in Dublin, all the prep work revolves around the wings.
"I just talked to Jordan, the kitchen manager here, he's got 70 cases of wings that he expects to sell tomorrow," said Dan Ponton, owner of Roosters. "Those are just wings, not boneless, so that equates to a little over 16,000 wings in one day. "
At Roosters, it's first come first serve, and people are expected to start posting up after the doors open at 11 a.m.
"We won't have enough room for everyone but we do a ton of takeout,” said Ponton.
At Nasty's, seats at the bar can be reserved for $100. All proceeds will go to help Therapy K9s at the Franklin County Sheriff's Office.
