Planning a Football Party - Supplies and All

It’s almost that time of year again! Football season is just around the corner. And maybe you’re planning to host a kickoff party for your favorite sport. Don’t despair, the party stores will be putting out the football party supplies any day now. You have just enough time to start putting together some football party ideas that are sure to score a touchdown with all of your friends!

If you’re planning your football party as a kickoff to football season, why not plan an activity that centers on predicting the season to come. Make a list of all the teams, whether NFL or college, and ask each guest to rank teams the way they think they will rank at season’s end. Even go ahead and predict the Superbowl teams and winner!

Then, track the football teams throughout the season, and keep track of who had the best predictions. At the end of the season, perhaps on Superbowl Sunday, you can host another party, and hand out prizes for the best and worst predictors.

Throw a Tailgater

A great idea for a football party is to have a traditional tailgate event, even if it’s in your backyard! This keeps the supplies to a minimum, and keeps the menu simple. You can set up a simple buffet of food like you would on a truck’s tailgate, and have a cooler of soft drinks and a keg of beer. Food like hamburgers, hot dogs, wings, nachos and chips are always a big hit at football parties.

Think about your football friends, and if you have any other interests in common that might allow you to create a more unique event. For example, if your friends are all great cooks, why not try having a chili-cooking contest at your party. Chili makes a great menu item for a football party, and the competition will add fuel to the football fire.

Whatever you decide for your menu for your football party, you have the perfect activity already built in. The love that you and your friends have for the gridiron is enough to make a party in itself.
