Enjoying Sports on the Deck: Football
Football, Baseball, Basketball galore!
Tomorrow, September 4th marks the start of the 2014 NFL regular season and for us at DeckMAX that means yet another reason to enjoy the outdoors and the back deck. With the MLB World Series right around the corner and the NBA pre season about to start, we know you’ll be looking for ways to decorate, grill, and party with family and friends. Below is a list of unique ideas for how to enjoy Sports on the Deck: Football!
Food Ideas
There are tons of ideas out there for Football Parties! Whether it is for younger kids or adults, your guests will love to chow down on your football themed snacks and treats! Try making homemade pizza and placing the peperoni so it creates the shape of a football or bake some delicious football chocolate cupcakes! If you need some more substantial food at your party, try a hotdog bar laid out on a football field tablecloth with each dip at a different down! If you try them all you score a touchdown!

While some football fans may think decorations are cheesy; embrace your inner fan and do what feels right. If you want to hang a football chandelier and cover the deck with your favorite teams logo, go ahead!
