  The avid social sports enthusiast would love to have a bar room dedicated to a favorite sport or team. Decorating a sports bar room is a great way to highlight the sports or teams that you love and provide a functional place for group entertainment and activity. It is also a nice way to display your sports equipment and collections.
  
  

Favorite Teams

• Focus on your favorite teams to give your sports bar room some personal flair. Use tickets stubs, team brochures, newspaper or magazine headlines and articles from notable games or individual players displayed in frames or on a bulletin board. Framed team or athlete photos and posters make good wall décor.
  
  

Furnishings

• Purchase a nice bar. Bars come in all sizes, styles and price ranges to fit every room and budget. Do not forget the bar stools to accompany the bar. If the room is big enough, add tables or sitting areas or a lounging area for live action game playing or viewing.
  
  

Team Colors

• Decorate in team colors. Make curtains, use team-colored paint on wall or trims or cover furnishings in fabrics that match or coordinate with a favorite team's colors. Make throw pillows on easy chairs on the floor or in a less formal setting done in favorite team colors. Make seat cushions on chairs at a table or on bar stools that match the team theme. Basket liners for chips or other dried snack items and napkins can match the color scheme too.
  
  

Memorabilia and Sports Equipment

• A sports bar room is a good place to display sports memorabilia. Avid sports enthusiasts often accumulate a large collection over time. This is a great way to put that collection to more functional use. Sports memorabilia can be displayed in shadow boxes or frames on the wall, in display cases on shelves, bar or tabletops or in three-dimensional themed displays. Autographed items are particularly good to use for display purposes. Be sure to show them in a way that keeps their value and protects them in closed cases, display boxes or frames. If you are an athlete, display special pieces of your own sports history or equipment too.
  
  

Glassware, Barware, Dishes and Accessories

• Collect team logo glassware, bar ware and dishes for serving or eating munchies, by going to favorite team stores or hunting online at store, team and auction sites that carry bar supplies. They can even be found in flea markets, garage sales and discount stores. Team- or sports-themed napkins, tablecloths and even swizzle sticks can be used in a bar setting.
  
  

Electronics and Interactive Games

• Every super sports bar needs some live action sports activity. Hang a plasma television on the wall above or to the side of the bar area. Use more than one in different areas in a large bar room. A pool table, foosball table, sports video games and game consoles are perfect to use in a sports bar room.
