How to Set Up Super Bowl Party Backup Seating

Video Transcript

"Go! Go! Hello, my name is Matt Cail, and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to throw a Super Bowl Party! But I don't have a place to sit! Party Foul! This party foul is the common one you are willing to have at a Super Bowl party. You have plenty of comfortable seating, but you just don't have enough. Maybe you expected twenty people and twenty-five showed up. They bring boyfriends, girlfriends, just other random friends who are looking for a place to watch the Super Bowl. This can and will happen. This is where it's great to have some back up seating and folding chairs are some of the best that you can get. They are easy to store; they are also cheap in a lot of places. So, you can get them before the party and they are very, very simple to set up. Now this will not be as comfortable as a couch, but hey, the early bird gets the worm. Your earlier guests are comfortable seated and some of your other guests or your hangers-on, they'll be fine in a folding chair. They are going to be looking at the screen, shouting and yelling. They are not even going to be thinking. They are going to be getting up and down for food and drink anyway. So, it's okay. But, I definitely recommend that you have some back up seating on hand, just in case you end up with a lot more guests (then people don't have to sit on the floor). Some other options outside of folding chairs are particularly thick blankets or comforters. That can actually help make the floor softer; also, bean bags."
