Tip for the European Championships: Turn your garage into a public viewing arena!

For many soccer fans, there is probably nothing better (apart from a “real” visit to the stadium) than watching matches of major tournaments – such as the current European Championship – together with as many friends and acquaintances as possible. However, very few people have enough space indoors to do so or are afraid of the consequences of excessive, perhaps even wet and cheerful exuberance during and after the game.

 

The alternative to unsuitable indoor spaces: public viewing in the garage

If your garage has a power connection (
which is usually the case with current ZAPF garages
) and the transmission of the broadcast signal can be regulated (more on this in a moment), your garage can become the ideal public viewing arena with just a few simple adjustments!

The main advantage of the garage as a performance venue – compared to a garden public viewing – is that the sensitive technology can be housed in the garage, protected from the weather. And in the event of a change in the weather, some spectators who want to watch the game from the space in front of the garage might get wet!

 

Otherwise, you should pay attention to the following if you want to turn your garage into a soccer viewing arena …

Den perfekten Sichtbereich einrichten: Bildschirm oder Leinwand strategisch platzieren!

Wählen Sie das dunklere Ende Ihrer Garage als Standort für den Bildschirm oder die Leinwand. Dies minimiert störende Lichtreflexionen und verbessert die Bildqualität. Achten Sie darauf, dass alle Zuschauer eine gute Sicht haben und arrangieren Sie die Sitzgelegenheiten entsprechend.

 

Stromversorgung und Signalübermittlung sicherstellen!

Für ein erfolgreiches Public Viewing benötigen Sie eine zuverlässige Stromquelle für TV, Bildschirm oder Beamer & Co. Verwenden Sie ein stabiles und zugelassenes Verlängerungskabel, um sicherzugehen, dass Ihr Setup ausreichend mit Energie versorgt ist. Das Signal für den Beamer oder Bildschirm kann per Kabel vom nächstgelegenen Receiver oder der nächstgelegenen Kabeldose oder mit starkem WLAN-Signal und dann über Streaming-Dienste bezogen werden. Testen Sie die Einrichtung unbedingt vorab, um ärgerliche Übertragungsprobleme zu vermeiden.

 

Tonqualität nicht vergessen – denn satter Sound ist wichtig!

Eine gute Tonübertragung ist entscheidend, um die Atmosphäre des Live-Spiels miterleben zu können und die wichtigen Erläuterungen der Moderatoren zu verstehen. Nutzen Sie qualitativ hochwertige Lautsprecher, die den Sound klar und deutlich übertragen. Positionieren Sie die Lautsprecher so, dass sie den Ton gleichmäßig im Raum verteilen, ohne dabei zu übersteuern oder Nachbarn zu stören.

Provide suitable catering and comfort – because the surroundings are also important!

Such a joint public viewing always depends on good catering. So provide a sufficient number of chilled drinks and snacks. You could also set up a barbecue near the garage to offer freshly prepared food, but make sure you never use the barbecue in the garage to avoid the risk of smoke and fire. Perhaps also set up a small corner with tables for food and drinks.

 

With a little preparation and creativity, you can transform your garage into the perfect place for an unforgettable public viewing experience – and not just now during the European Championships.

Whether you’re watching with a small family or the whole gang, the time spent together and the joy of the game will make your garage event a highlight of the European Championship (and other sporting events in the future).
