Philadelphia comes alive during Eagles season, and there’s no better place to cheer on the Birds than from the comfort of your Reinhold Residential apartment. Whether you’re hosting a Philly Eagles party in an apartment for friends or enjoying the game solo, transforming your space into the ultimate game day-ready apartment is easier than you think.
From festive décor to snacks that scream Philly pride, here’s how to host game day in an apartment!
Set the Scene with Philly Eagles Party Decorations
Turn your living room into a mini stadium with team colors and memorabilia.
- Midnight Green, Black, and Silver Accents: Add throw pillows, blankets, and tableware in team hues. If you want to go old school, you can opt for Kelly Green and White accents.
- DIY Banners and Balloons: Hang streamers and Eagles flags to give your apartment a spirited vibe.
- Game-Themed Lighting: String up green lights or LED strips to match the excitement of the game. Add smart bulbs that change colors via an app to your living room lamps.
If you’re a Steelers fan, these tips work just as well with black and gold for game days at our Shadyside Commons apartments in Pittsburgh.
Snack Like a True Philadelphian
No game day watch party is complete without food, and Eagles fans know how to eat. Turn your living room into a virtual tailgate party with the following treats:
- Classic Cheesesteaks: A must-have for any Philly gathering. Add some fried onions to make it even more extra-special.
- Soft Pretzels: A fan-favorite snack that sets the mood at the start of the game or is easy to grab during halftime.
- Team-Themed Drinks: Try one of these game day cocktails/mocktails for a bit of Philly home team fun.
Hosting in your apartment is a great way to avoid the crowds while still enjoying a feast fit for a fan.
Provide Comfortable Seating for Everyone
Comfort is key when the game goes into overtime. Here are some easy ways to ensure your family and friends enjoy game-long comfort in your living room:
- Flexible Seating: Add poufs, bean bags, or floor cushions so everyone has a spot. Then, when the game is done and everyone exits your apartment, you can store these away until the next game day.
- Optimize Your Living Room Layout: Arrange your furniture so everyone has a good view of the TV. You don’t want anyone to miss that amazing touchdown or field goal kick.
- Keep Pathways Clear: Make sure your seating arrangement still leaves room for people to grab snacks or head to the kitchen without disrupting the game.
Keep the Spirit Going All Season Long
Why save the fun for just one Sunday (or the occasional Monday or Thursday night games)?
Keep your Philly apartment game day-ready all season by dedicating a shelf or wall to your favorite team gear, keeping an Eagles playlist on standby, and rotating out themed snacks and drinks.
Find Your Perfect Philly Apartment for Game Day
Game days in Philadelphia are special, and creating the perfect apartment game day atmosphere makes cheering for the Eagles even more fun. With the right décor, plenty of snacks, and smart seating arrangements, your home will be the go-to spot for friends and fellow fans.
