After a miraculous comeback by the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game and a very convincing New England Patriots win in the AFC Championship, we now have the highly anticipated matchup we’ve all been waiting for.
There are a plethora of storylines heading into the February 1st Super Bowl matchup in Glendale, Arizona. One of the top offenses in the NFL led by Tom Brady will clash with Richard Sherman and the stifling Seahawks defense. There’s also the coaching matchup–the legendary future Hall of Famer, Bill Belichick, going up against Pete Carroll–a coach who’s less accomplished, but has certainly left his imprint on the league as of late. New England tries to put “Deflategate” behind them and bring the Lombardi trophy back to Foxborough after a decade of disappointment, while Seattle comes in with aspirations of repeating–something that has not been done since, well, the Pats.
This matchup is ideal for the football fan–not just fans of the two teams participating; as a result, ratings are almost certain to come close, if not exceed an all-time high. From those that are planning parties in celebration of the biggest day in American sports, to those who just want to grab a beer, sit back in their recliner, and watch the game alone, these five gadgets can really enhance the viewing experience.
1. 4K TV and Ultra HD
Why go HD when you can go Ultra HD?
Tabbed the 4K because of the 4,000 pixel width, this innovative form of television makes the viewer feel like he’s right by action–something that would be great for an intense broadcast such as the Super Bowl. With 8 million pixels–approximately four times as many as the average television–the 4K also provides the precision and sharpness perfect for an event like this. If you don’t mind digging a little deeper in your wallet for the higher quality, this may be the product for you.
2. TiVo Roamio Pro
It’s always better the second time, right?
This product exists for those that concur with this notion. The TiVo Roamio Pro is a powerful DVR, with the ability to hold 450 hours of HD storage. Another gadget with a hefty price, but the quality undoubtedly matches the value, as it also is capable of streaming a high quantity of video, music, photo services, streaming, and downloading to iOS devices. With ample memory, groups can record all their Super Bowl festivities, as well as any other future events, and still have plenty of room left.
3. Bose Solo 15 TV sound system
You can’t have a party without a good sound system.
Fortunately, the Bose sound system exists for those without adequate means of broadcasting the game. It is compatible with larger TVs and permits the user to use a universal remote for a more convenient control. This system contains speaker displays at each corner of the device in addition to a center speaker. One can expect a quality of sound so high that even whispers and low volume dialogue can be heard with utmost clarity–something that all spectators can enjoy, from those avid fans watching for the actual competition, to those completely uninterested in the game and viewing for the commercials, the Bose is sure to add the boom to the party.
4. Recliner Rocker with Frosty Fridge
With a built-in refrigerator, this should be at the top of everybody’s Super Bowl party list.
After all, who wants to keep making continuous trips to the kitchen?
One arm of the recliner holds the frosty fridge, which is a mini-freezer that can keep up to four drinks cold for eight hours. Eight gauge steel springs and mechanism ensures maximum durability, which means adults can get as rowdy as they want when rooting for their respective teams, and kids can be kids, without any concerns of them damaging this piece of furniture. For ultimate game day comfort, look no further than the Frosty Fridge.
5. The Brewbot
Who knew there would eventually be a technological component to drinking beer?

The Brewbot is sure to promote a fun, unifying, and certainly amped party environment for those who are looking to take their party to the next level, and brew their own beer.
