Imagine sitting in your living room with friends a few minutes before kickoff for the big game, and someone complains that they can’t hear the TV properly. Then someone else mentions their chair doesn't let them see the game very clearly.
This kind of scenario can quickly turn excitement for the game into grumbles of frustration. Luckily, there is a solution. If you want to create the ultimate place to watch Friday night football, you must step up your hosting game with comfort and technology.

There are a few important elements when it comes to creating the ultimate entertainment room. One of them is the seating. There must be enough seats for everyone, and they must be comfortable. Lawn chairs or temporary seats simply won’t work, especially since a football game can easily last for several hours.
The best seating option is to have a few recliners with cup holders or a small pull-out surface for snacks. It’s also a great idea to have at least one comfortable couch that is large enough for three or four people.
Once seating is organized, you need to take care of the visuals. Nobody wants to watch the playoffs or the Super Bowl on a small 27-inch TV. Make sure you have the ultimate viewing option by using a ceiling-mounted projector or large TV, preferably bigger than 50 inches.
However, even large TVs and projectors rarely have sufficient sound for large groups of people. If you want your guests to feel like they are in the stadium at the end zone, consider getting a home theatre system with at least a 5.1 speaker setup. The subwoofer produces the thundering bass, and you can place the five satellite speakers around the room for surround audio.
