Football season is right around the corner, and for many Americans that means participating in the time-honored tradition of hosting an epic game day party. It\u2019s all about buffalo wings, barbecue pizza and showing off your 50-inch plasma screen television and home entertainment system to your friends. Here\u2019s how you can throw a game day party of EPIC proportions.<\/p>\n

Prep your Entertainment Venue<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nobody wants to struggle on your hard and stiff dining room chairs while you lounge in your armchair, invest in prime seating for your ultimate game day party. The sectional couch is the best solution to any game day party seating arrangement. Friends and family can gather around and lounge on the couch with a table spread at the center for food and refreshment.<\/p>\n

Acquire a Large\u00a0Flat-screen\u00a0TV<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

The year is 2015 and large flat screen TVs are more affordable than ever before. 4K Ultra HD, LED, 3D, OLED and Curved TVs\u2014with all the buzzwords floating around on the market, it may seem daunting to shop for a new TV.<\/p>\n

To save you some time, if you are looking for the latest and greatest in high resolution TVs you\u2019ll want a 4K Ultra HD TV<\/a> adorning your wall, of which there are two competing technologies. If you like super black levels and smoother color rendition, go for a 4K Ultra HD OLED TV like the LG 55EG9600<\/a>. If you prefer sharper image edges and super high resolution, go for a traditional 4K Ultra LED TV like this affordable Vizio M43-C1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a matter of preference, cost and space, but if you have both room and want the best money can buy, a curved 4K Ultra HD TV is where you\u2019ll want to invest your money\u2014the Samsung UN78JS9500<\/a> is as close as you can get to having the NFL in your living room!<\/p>\n

Football Decorations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Coasters, banners, jerseys and glassware\u2014now is your chance to show off your team spirit! The ways in which you can flaunt your love of the game are only limited by the imagination. The essentials\u2014plates, cups, napkins, table cloths and bowls can all be found at your local party store. However if you\u2019re looking to make your game day truly unique, you can check out Pinterest for ideas on how to spruce things up. Homemade field goal posts, football shaped serving trays and football field platters are just some of the ideas people have cooked up. See if you can come up with some of your own, and check out our\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>\u00a0board dedicated to football and tailgating fun<\/a>\u00a0for inspiration!<\/p>\n

Game Day Party Food and Drink<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The best part about a game day party, besides the Football, is the grub\u2014nachos, homemade dip, pulled pork sliders, and buffalo wings are the staples of any game day party. For beverages, beer reigns supreme\u2014nothing like holding ice cold amber ale in one hand as you wave a foam finger at the big screen with the other. When planning a solid game day menu involves striking the perfect balance between entree and appetizer. \u00a0Football games can last over 3 hours, so snackability is a must. An assortment of chips, crackers, cheeses and dip can go a long way. When looking at entrees, stick to finger foods like wings and sliders. As an added bonus, you might want to consider using this as an excuse to bring out the grill, just be sure to give yourself enough prep time before the game starts. Just like our earlier suggestion about football decorations, Pinterest is again a great resource for game day grub! Be careful though; once you search you’ll be amazed (and possibly drooling) at how many delicious options are available to make your party an epic one!<\/p>\n
