MANKATO , MINN. -

With football fans out at bars and house parties, cab companies experience an up tick in business during the super bowl. Kato Cab dispatcher Jay Zabel says the phones have been ringing all day for taxis. He says it's definitely busier than your typical Sunday, but since the Vikings aren't playing in the super bowl today is very manageable. Zabel says it really started to get busy after two this afternoon. Zabel says, "It's becoming busier and busier and that's more people going places like sports bars and parties and things like that now."

Business will pick up even more once the game wraps up, Kato Cab expects it to be busiest tonight right around bar close.
