The next best thing to watching the big game is the party food! When hosting a game day party, it’s important to have a variety of finger foods for your guests to eat. That way, they can quickly fill their plate and get back to watching the game. A great way to keep all your snacks in one place while also adding a themed touch to your party is building a snack stadium. You can find these at your local party store or by ordering online. Set up the stadium and then have fun deciding which snacks to fill it with! Chicken wings are always a fan favorite at a game day party, and we like ours made with some Texas Crown Club Whisky! Check out this recipe to create some mouthwatering chicken wings for your guests.

One of the more popular party games, a football pool, is great for those who want to place their bets for a chance to win some cash. You can create the pool board by downloading a free printable one online or buy a posterboard and draw in the squares.
Draw 11 equal squares across the top of the board and 10 more down the left side (eleven including the already completed square in the left corner). Next, draw a 10 X 10 grid of squares inside of the row and column of squares you just created. Now, divide 100 by the number of participants to determine how many squares each person gets. Once you have that number, each participant will write their name in that amount of random squares.
After you have all of the names filled in, put the numbers 0 through 9 on small pieces of paper into a hat. Have someone pick them out one by one. Write those numbers as they are picked across the top squares in order. Repeat for the squares down the left side of the board. Finally, split the first square in the top left corner with each team’s name.

How to win:
At the end of every quarter, the person whose square corresponds with the intersection of the second digit of each team’s score wins a prize. Often, if a square is unowned, you can roll over the money to the next quarter.
The final score usually pays out the highest sum.
