Game On: 5 Deluxe Home Theaters for Football’s Big Night

If we seek those perfect seats for America’s greatest football game, these sophisticated screening rooms provide all the play-by-play action from the comfort and luxury of home

On Sunday, February 11, the vast engines of pro sports, mass media, pop music, and pop culture will converge on a football stadium in Las Vegas before an estimated global audience of 200 million. There, Kansas City and San Francisco will meet and clash for the ultimate prize in American football.  

In honor of “The Big Game,” America’s showpiece, Luxury Defined presents the next best thing to being there: five properties with deluxe home theaters to watch the epic showdown (along with the halftime show and those highly anticipated commercials). 

Our starting lineup includes a classic Art Deco-style cinema, a sophisticated media lounge, and a contemporary screening room—all custom-crafted, acoustically tuned, with the latest in high-definition digital display and surround-sound technology.  

Let the game commence! (… but first this commercial message …)

An Art Deco-inspired movie theater leads the lineup of resort-grade amenities at this lakefront hideaway in Georgia’s Chattahoochee National Forest.

On the shores of Blue Ridge Lake, this wooded wonderland is one of just a handful of private homes on Stewart Camp Point, just outside the town of Blue Ridge in Georgia’s Chattahoochee National Forest. 

The custom-built home has four luxurious levels with panoramic views of the forest and the lake.  

The terrace level is dedicated to four-season entertainment with an Art Deco-inspired theater, billiards room, gym, wine cellar, and, outdoors, a double-decker lagoon-style pool and sunken hot tub above the lake.

The double-island kitchen offers European marble finishes and a breakfast space, with an event-grade service kitchen adjoining. Sliding doors open to the patio deck verandah for alfresco dining and entertaining by the pool, Jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen.
