What to Know When Hosting a Sports Night

With all of the new ways, we are living these days it’s nice to have a sense of normalcy...watching football with friends and family. Wanting to host a sports night but don’t know how to go about it? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Sit back and learn how to throw the ultimate sports night. 

Seating 

The first item to have on your list when planning a spectacular sports night is seating. You know when you go to a party and look around to find a place to sit to hangout. All of a sudden you begin to realize there is nowhere to sit and you’re going to be standing for the next few hours. When guests are coming to a gathering you planned you want them to feel comfortable and able to relax. Be sure to have plenty of seating for all the guests you invited and a couple more. You never know who may bring a plus one unexpectedly. Once you have your seating figured out begin to plan the food and drink menus. 

Food

When it comes to sports, games, and competitions drinks are a must. There are a couple of different ways you can go about food for the night potluck/snacks or a meal. If you are having a potluck be sure to send out a signup list so there aren’t too many sweets then there are salty snacks. Some great potluck items are buffalo chicken dip, meatballs, vegetable tray, spinach artichoke dip, chips and salsa, and some dessert treats. If guests can’t come until the end of the night suggest they bring a dessert. Likewise, if a person can only attend for the first half of the game suggest an appetizer like cheese and crackers. When providing a meal at a sports night options range from pizza to wings. Be sure to have something that is easy to grab and go so guests can get back in front of the tv. 

Drinks 

Cheers! With all of the food at your party, your guests are bound to need many drinks to go along with their food. Have multiple drink options so everyone can enjoy their drink of choice. Have a couple of different beers to choose from in a big cooler. No one likes a hot beer. Have bottled water in another. Want to include a bourbon bar? Haberdash has all of your drink and gourmet catering needs covered. 

Games 

Obviously, you will have the sports game on the big flat screened tv but what about halftime. What are you going to be showing? Have a couple of games to get your guests up and moving. Cornhole is always a crowd favorite, cards get the competition moving, and NFL trivia shows you who is an expert. If you are wanting to play more games but don’t have access to them at your house. Host your sports night at Haberdash, our event space includes a pool table, shuffleboard, foosball, air hockey, & more.
