DIYers Super Bowl Party Checklist

Get the Coolers Ready

If you’re hosting a house full of football fans for a Super Bowl party, make sure to have coolers ready when they show up. Stock the coolers with appropriate beverages and let everyone serve themselves. Or, get fancy, and send them to your dedicated beer fridge.
