The Ultimate Florida Gators Fan Home Theater

By Arlen Schweiger

This Florida home theater is a transformed garage that's now home to four screens and a museum's worth of Gators memorabilia.



Some sports fans visit hallowed places like Cooperstown, NY, or Canton, OH, for a dose of nostalgia and memorabilia. This Palm Beach County, FL, homeowner visits his garage. At least it used to be a garage. Now it’s a shrine to his alma mater, the University of Florida, and its ultrasuccessful athletic program. This isn’t your typical fanatic’s room dressed up in school colors—blue and orange may have been too loud—but is a treasure trove of autographed balls, jerseys, trophies and more. It’s also the best seat in the house for watching Gators football and basketball games.

Along with all the collectibles, the room is a championship-caliber home theater. With four displays, 7.2-channel surround sound and touchpanel control, the theater room makes guests feel much more welcome than in the Swamp, the venue where the Gators tend to throttle visiting football teams.
