A no-huddle floor plan for a football lover’s “man cave"

(PressReleasePoint)MERRILLVILLE, IN…

In your dad’s day, the stereotypical man’s domain, or “man cave,” was the workshop in the garage. Today, the man cave is often the basement den or office. When football season rolls around and the resident “caveman” wants to entertain other cavemen and their better halves, he’ll likely realize that his sanctuary might need a little upgrading. DirectBuy, the leading members-only showroom and home design center, has some pointers for making the man cave guest-friendly for the upcoming football season.

“While being able to get away from the rest of the house and watch football or some other sporting event may have been the genesis of the man cave, what might not have been taken into consideration initially was the desire to someday invite others to watch the game with you. And setting up a space fit for entertaining guests is something a lot of men may want some assistance with,” said Sara Shragal, of DirectBuy.

So what items might today’s cave-gent need to complete the perfect indoor tailgate party?

● Kegerator – a man-cave essential for a beer-drinking crowd

● Wide Screen TV with HD; surround sound speakers optional but highly desirable

● Sectional sofa to accommodate multiple visitors; reclining chair with cup holders for the host.

● Full-size built-in bar area or free-standing, mobile bar station

● Tile or wood flooring that’s particularly resilient to potential spillage

● Pool table, air hockey or foosball for halftime recreation

● Mini-kitchen with microwave to reheat buffalo wings.

● Home gym equipment—e.g. treadmill, elliptical—to work off the excess calories consumed during typical man cave football marathon.
