Fall in Tennessee means crisp air, changing leaves, and SEC football. While traveling to a crowded stadium can be thrilling, dealing with traffic, expensive parking, and freezing bleachers isn’t always appealing. What if you could combine the excitement of game day with the luxury of a VIP suite right in your own backyard?
This fall, skip the traditional tailgate and host a “Homegate” from the comfort of your Bullfrog Spa. Here is how to throw the ultimate hot tub watch party for the big game.
1. Set Up the Outdoor Viewing Screen
You can’t have a watch party without a great view of the game. If you don’t have a weatherproof outdoor TV on your patio, a portable projector is an inexpensive and highly effective alternative. Simply hang a white projector screen (or even a tight, flat bedsheet) on a fence or the side of your house, angle it toward your spa, and connect a streaming stick to broadcast the game.
2. Prepare Spa-Friendly Game Day Snacks
Traditional tailgating food—like crumbly chips, sticky wings, and greasy burgers—does not mix well with hot tub filters. Keep your water clean by opting for “cleaner” finger foods. Think fresh fruit skewers, bite-sized cheese and cured meat cubes on toothpicks, or soft pretzels.
Pro Tip: Invest in a floating spa tray or a sturdy spa-side caddy to hold snacks and drinks safely away from the water’s edge.
3. Hydrate Smartly
Warm water hydrotherapy naturally raises your body temperature, meaning you need to stay hydrated—especially if you are enjoying a few adult beverages during the game. Ban all glass bottles and pint glasses from the hot tub area to prevent dangerous accidents. Instead, serve drinks in insulated, shatter-proof tumblers. They will keep your beverages ice-cold while you stay toasty warm in the water.
4. Utilize the Swim Spa for Larger Crowds
If you are hosting a larger group of fans, a Bullfrog Swim Series spa is the ultimate party venue. With more seating than a traditional hot tub and a massive open-water splash zone, your guests can comfortably spread out, float, and cheer on the team without feeling crowded.
