Home Sports Bar Plans and Theme Ideas
Fall is in the air and with that comes the start of the regular NFL football season. If you’re a season ticket holder or fortunate enough to know somebody with game day tickets, you might get a game or two in per year.
Spending a Small Fortune to Watch a Football Game?
Being at the stadium is a great experience, but it can be a pricey day. The average ticket price for Green Bay Packers regular season NFL tickets for 2017 is currently at $200. Add $20 for parking and $8.00 each for the new 16oz aluminum bottles and you’ll need a small fortune to enjoy a game. There’s also the cost of carrying in tailgating stuff; brats, steak, booze, beer etc. UPDATE: As of 2/2/2018, SuperBowl LII average ticket price is a whopping $5,700! You could hire a contractor and have then build a super home bar for that price.
So, for around $250 (if you’re frugal), you can go to spend a day at the stadium and have memories that will last for years. What about the rest of the season? That’s where a home sports bar comes in handy.
The matchup: NFL vs. Home Sports Bar
The NFL’s “fan experience” vs. the “home viewing experience” that features 60+ inch high definition TV’s, no lines at the food concession, 70 cent beers and most importantly, your own private bathroom. Plus, a nice warm bar stool or a cozy recliner beats an open-air metal seat in -30 degree temperatures all day. There’s also no traffic, no beer gets spilled on you and a much better view of the action complete with close-ups and replays. The Home Viewing Experience is the clear winner.
It seems crazy to buy 4 tickets for $200 each plus parking plus beverages, etc when you can invest that cash into a sweet HDTV and get a much better game viewing experience. Need to find a good deal on an 70 inch class HDTV? check out these units…
