It’s that time of year again, NFL Football has finally returned! Back are the days where football lovers everywhere spend hours glued to the TV each week rooting for their favorite team and hoping for a Super Bowl LIII victory! Whether you, your friends, or your family are the biggest fans, here are some tips to get the ultimate enjoyment out of the 2018-2019 NFL Season.

A spacious viewing area with comfortable seating and a large TV is the most important thing you need to enjoy football games. Host members of your Fantasy Football League on game night and watch the competition get real! Open up your Bi-Fold Patio Doors or Multi-Slide Patio Doors and enjoy the fresh air and throw food on the grill while you watch the game. During halftime, herd everyone through your folding patio doors and into the backyard for a quick game of touch football. If your large glass patio doors are letting in too much light during the game, invest in some blackout curtains to ensure a perfect viewing environment.

No football viewing party is complete without snacks! Chips and dip, pretzels, cheese and crackers—all snack foods are delicious, so you really can do no wrong. For quick and easy options, ordering pizza and wings, or other takeout food, will save you the hassle of cooking and cleanup. Whatever you do, don’t forget the beer! Every once in a while, go to your local sports bar to catch the game; it will be a refreshing spot to grab food and watch your team play, and the energy of fellow football fans adds to the fun and excitement!

Get your little ones in on the fun and show them how to love the sport. You can teach them the rules of the game and encourage them to pick a team to root for! Depending on their age, they might not be able to sit through a whole game but instilling the football tradition within them is a good start. As your kids get older, they will enjoy the game more and sitting down for a football game will become a family bonding experience. When they’re old enough, you can even show them how to play Fantasy Football and help them enroll in their first league!

If you’re lucky enough to live near an NFL stadium, you must attend a game this season! Show up early and have a tailgate—take a portable grill and lots of yummy food. You will feel the excitement in the air as you line up to enter the stadium. There is nothing like watching a game live surrounded by thousands of cheering fans. Don’t forget to wear the jersey of your favorite player to show support!

If you can’t make it to a game this year, setting up an outdoor viewing area is a fun way to watch the game. To learn more about creating your own outdoor theater, click here.
