5 Ideas to Make Watching Baseball With Friends More Enjoyable

Full Editorial

Watching baseball with your friends can be a great way to bond. But much like any other get-together, the end result is always dependent on the work that you put into it. Baseball watch parties can be boring, or they could be something that everyone gets excited about. Here are five ideas to make watching baseball with friends more enjoyable.

 

1. Make It an Official Event Everyone Can Look Forward to

 

One way to make watching baseball more exciting is to make it an official event rather than a spur-of-the-moment thing. When you plan things out ahead of time, it gives everyone in your friend group something to get excited about, especially if you’re going to be watching a major event like the World Series. Turn your baseball get-togethers into a ritual, and people are naturally going to have more fun.

 

2. Have the Right Snacks and Beverages on Hand

 

Food can make or break any gathering, even a small one. Having the right food at your watch parties is crucial to everyone having a good time. Whether you’re going for a classic like chips and dip, wings, and beers, or you’re getting together in the morning and you want to switch things up with coffee and donuts, put together a small menu of food that everyone can get excited about. If coming up with food to watch a baseball game stresses you out, you could have it catered or simply have everyone bring their favorite baseball snack food.

 

3. Jazz Things Up With Cigars

 

Are you a friend group that shares more than just a love for baseball, such as a love for cigars? If so, try to incorporate more of the things that you all enjoy when you get together to watch a baseball game. Stocking up on quality cigars that you can smoke together while you watch the game could make things more enjoyable for everyone.

 

4. Bet on Teams With Each Other

 

Sports betting is hardly new, and plenty of people bet on teams in friend groups to make the event more exciting and add a bit more risk to the mix. If everyone is in agreement, add some betting to your watch parties. Just make sure everyone is comfortable with the money being put in. Nothing can sour a party faster than disagreements over money.

 

5. Improve Your Home Entertainment Setup

 

Is your home entertainment in need of an upgrade? Would your friends rather be watching the game somewhere else because they get a better experience? Consider investing in a larger, clearer TV, a surround sound system, and other things that will make baseball games in your home more exciting. Your friends will thank you!

 

Not every watch party is exciting, but you don’t have to invite your friends over to watch baseball and regret it later. If you plan on getting everyone together to watch a baseball game in the future, use the tips above to cultivate an experience everyone can enjoy, and one that will make them want to come over to your place in the future for future baseball games.
