Celebrate game day in the dorms
February 1, 2012
Despite the size of a dorm, it can be a great place to celebrate America’s great tradition, the Super Bowl.
Eaton hall’s president, Nate Davis, is planning on celebrating the Super Bowl with his entire dorm.
“We are actually going to have it at State Gym in the pool,” said Nate Davis, sophomore in food science and industry global resources. “We’re just going to get a big group of people together.”
Other dorms also will be celebrating together.
“I’m pretty sure we’re having a building-wide party in Willow on the main floor. I’m assuming there will be food, drinks, pizza and all kinds of stuff,” said Alexis Jackson, freshman in psychology.
FOOD
Finger food is the best choice for Super Bowl parties. There are several things students can make in their dorm room without using an oven or stove, such as queso and chips, puppy chow, fruit and veggies and finger sandwiches.
DECORATIONS
If you have guest that will be cheering for other teams, make an imaginary line using masking tape that they can’t cross. Decorate the different sides to accommodate the teams. It is also fun to invest in some foam bricks that people can throw at the TV when they’re mad. It’s a safe and great way to relieve your anger with the refs.
THE GAME
If your TV is tiny, guests will not be happy. They have to be able to see all of the players and the awesome commercials. If needed, consider renting an Infocus machine, which will project the TV image on to a white wall.
FUN
Football bingo, face painting and pinatas can be some entertaining things to do during your party. Another way to get guests riled up is have them pay a dollar to guess who will win. Whoever was right gets their name put in a drawing for the money.
