Football, for many die-hard fans, can almost be a religious experience... especially when it comes to our favorite team. This will be a two-part series, and for Part 1, we want to hear about your game-day setup.

Do you have a man-cave decked out with 50" plasmas? Do you have your favorite seat at the local sports bar? Are you tailgating in the parking lot and then listening on the radio?

For me, I'm typically working - WCG main page, Twitter, Facebook, and sometimes SB Nation NFL - so it's hard for me to leave the house and still be able to focus. My set-up is a 42" HD television (I know, that's probably tiny compared to some of you) with an accompanying soundbar and wireless subwoofer, two laptops fired up, and whatever carry-out food that tickled my fancy that day. Once I'm in the zone, I'm there until the end.

On the rare occasion I take the weekend off, I do like to hit up the local sports bar and make it a more social experience. But for the most part, I'm locked down at home.

For next week's post (Part 2), we will focus on rituals, superstitions, etc., but right now, I want to hear about your setup. Big screen? Sports bar? Tailgate?
