This is one of those occasions where you can arrange a party for this event pretty easily and it won’t take any time at all.
First grab up some appropriate decorations for your particular team or even both teams if you feel democratic about it or have rival team guests attending. Stick to the colors of those teams and locate some party decorating items just for the team if possible.
Make sure you have comfortable seating and a great TV. If weather is suitable, light the fireplace as this adds an element of warmth and comfort. No fireplace, just provide pillows and throws for anyone who wants to sack out on the floor for a closer view.
Snacks are the most important item to consider. Think hearty, hot and cold, but delicious. Chili seems traditional, but a homemade beef stew or something that sticks to the ribs could be a main dish. Lots of crispy snacks, dips and chips, chesses and summer sausage would also be welcome. It would not be a game without beer, pop or gallons of hot coffee.
If the flow of alcohol is pretty heavy, make sure guest are eating not just drinking. Cut off anyone if they get out of control as far as drinking since as host or hostess you are responsible for them. Take keys, have a designated driver or one of the party hosts must stay sober and plan on driving some people home.
You could add a gameswhich focus on answering questions about football stats for halftime if your like. A prize of a football stat book or football video might be fun. You probably will be too busy to do anything other than watch the game and eat, but if you need more aactivity, a short games could be fun.
Of course a little friendly rivalry and betting go without saying for the big game. Personal, non money bets between family members and friends can make it fun and noone will get angry if they lose.
