On February 7, it’s safe to say that nearly all of America will be glued to the television, watching every second of Super Bowl 50, right down to the commercials. And while your living room is a perfectly fine place to gather for the big game, how epic would your party be if you had the option to hold your gathering at, say, a home with ceiling murals and Italian chandeliers? Or a glamorous backyard with open-air screen?
We found just such mind-blowing Super Bowl party pads (think Renaissance Faire–inspired home theater) in homes for sale in Atlanta, GA, Encino, CA, and more. These viewing spots are so incredible, even a fan from the opposing team would be excited to come to your party.
