The world of sports has been in hiding since March, but our favorite teams are finally back on the fields, courts and tracks!
Athletes in all pro sports, from golf and football to baseball and motor sports, are competing once again. And we’re all breathing a sigh of relief for the much-needed entertainment!
Check out this comprehensive schedule of upcoming events, and then fill your calendar with all-things sports! Here are our best ideas to make the most of the season.
Plan A Small Sports-Themed Gathering
Group get-togethers have been non existent since mid-March. But honestly, enjoying sports to its fullest usual requires social interaction. Cheering for your team, scrutinizing a replay, and eating tasty finger-foods is always more exciting with others!
Stadiums might be empty, but now that Maryland is reopening, you can invite friends and family to join you for a living room watch-party! Follow Howard County’s COVID-19 guidelines for group gatherings, take extra safety precautions, and let the party planning begin!
Thank goodness Dorsey Family Homes are designed with beautiful open floor plans for entertaining. Your kitchen and living room are the perfect place to host your closest sports enthusiasts.
Start with the right decorations. Party City has balloons, banners, plates and even helmet bowls for many major league teams. Plan a themed menu (hotdogs and brews are always a strong contender), and create a playlist with songs like “We Are The Champions” and “Eye of the Tiger.”
Dig Into The History
Sports history is fascinating. It’s incredible how much the games, strategies, and players have transformed through the years.
If you know little about the yesteryears of your favorite teams, explore the past! Grab a bestselling sports biography or tune-in to an inspiring documentary. You’ll grow a new appreciation for these athletic legends.
Play Along
The lengthy shutdown caused many people to gain the “quarantine 15.” If you’ve added a few pounds around the waistline, it’s time to get moving!
Shed the extra weight by participating in your favorite sport. Dust off your bat, football, or clubs and head outside for fresh air and healthy competition. 30 minutes of movement throughout the week boosts your energy and confidence, while burning off those pesky pounds!
Face-Off With Friends
Raise the stakes this season by going head-to-head with your social circle. Start a friendly betting pool with weekly challenges and a series-long contest. The jackpot will keep spirits up and drive enthusiasm as the season progresses. These game ideas are for the Super Bowl, but you can modify to fit any kind of televised tournament. Fantasy Football is also free and fun. People obsess as much about their fantasy players as the actual team! Fantasy games are a great way to be involved from the sidelines.
Face-Off With Friends
However you celebrate your teams this season, make sure to indulge in the perfect space. You can’t attend the real events anyway, so you might as well enjoy from the best seat in the house!
Design an envy-inducing home theater for game-watching. Media central should include standard features like surround sound, an oversized TV or projector, and cozy seating. Take it to the next level with these sports-themed home theater ideas for game night!
