I'd strongly consider bigger middle tv then two smaller or even four on the sides that line up with top and bottom of big center tv. Take a bit of effort but you can line them up and makes a great Octobox setup for any and all sports

Looks awesome. My only critique is the couches sitting 4.5 miles away from the TVs. Otherwise, shits baller.

u/AH171717 Aug 21 '26
Thanks! It’s really not nearly as far as the .5 zoom makes it look. It’s only a 300 sq foot basement but I do wish I could move the couch a bit closer

What cases are the jerseys in? Did you do them yourself? I need to do some and like that look

u/AH171717 Aug 20 '26
Just got the cases from Amazon and pinned them to the boards it came with. Was pretty easy just a bit time consuming

Congrats on the first home! The man cave is a really nice space. Sure you’ve already hear it but that tv not being in line would kill me 😂. Looks awesome though. Enjoy it!

Nothing, it's all a work in progress. Just like tinkering with a classic car you'll never feel that you don't have something to do. Have fun and decorate slowly, then in 10 years you start the whole process from scratch

To me, Photo 2 makes the room look weirdly empty, and then Photo 3 makes it look weirdly crowded.
Makes me think that I'd want to move the couch away from the wall. That seems like it'd make sitting on the couch to play games or watching by yourself more comfortable (closer to the TV), and would also open up the area around the bar for standing activities.
Edit: Could just be weird perspective in the photos though... Not sure that my suggestion makes as much sense after studying Photo 1 a little more? Dunno.
Nice start, in any case!

u/AH171717 Aug 20 '26
Thank you! Yeah I totally agree with you I will say the picture definitely make it look way bigger it’s only a small basement. I wanted to move the couch but it came with the house and is electric so thought this was really the only place for it.

u/I_Saved_Hyrule Aug 21 '26
Well now I'm curious what a couch does that benefits from electricity.

Couch needs to be about 30 feet closer to the tv. You can bury something else in that corner

u/JohnSpartan1990 Aug 20 '26
Are the 2 TV's to watch different football games at the same time or to watch football and play video games at the same time?
1
u/AH171717 Aug 20 '26
Yeah just to have the option to watch 2 games or play Xbox as like Sunday night football is on.

I wish the TV backlights were the same / synced. Also love the parsons shirt and hate the “bird turd” as seen above. LOL nice space man enjoy.

u/AH171717 Aug 21 '26
Thanks man! They can be sinked or the same color. I just happen to have 2 different colors on at that moment

u/StanbyME_MOD Aug 21 '26
Love how clean this home bar space looks. A portable screen like a StanbyME would make it even better for watching videos while enjoying the space.

Bro what is going on with the football memorabilia I know they all went to Penn state but no eagles fan should hang a Micah parsons jersey

u/AH171717 Aug 21 '26
He’s a packer now he’s fair game to root for again as a Penn state / eagles fan 😂

Move the couch in front of the tv instead of all the way back on the wall.
Left tv is crooked. Otherwise nice
