5 Outdoor Living Upgrades for Football Season
Posted on September 2, 2025 3:37 PM
Fall in Alabama means two things: holidays with the family and football season. Whether you're hosting the extended family for the holidays or gathering friends for Saturday night SEC matchups, your outdoor space should be ready to handle all the entertaining that comes with cooler temperatures and championship dreams.
Here are five inspiring ways to transform your backyard into the ultimate gathering spot:
Outdoor Kitchens & Dining Spaces
Skip the back-and-forth to the indoor kitchen. A well-designed outdoor cooking and dining area means you'll never miss a touchdown while prepping your famous grilled buffalo wings.
Outdoor Fireplace
Nothing says "stay a while" like a crackling fire. Our Firerock fireplace kits make it easier than ever to create a stunning focal point that'll keep conversations going long after the final whistle. Perfect for those chilly October nights when the game goes into overtime.
Seamless Indoor/Outdoor Living
Extend your home's comfort outdoors with brick and stone transitions that blur the lines between inside and out. Your guests can flow naturally between spaces – grabbing snacks inside, watching the game outside.
Wood-Fired Pizza Ovens
Game day appetizers just got an upgrade. Brick pizza ovens aren't just for restaurants – they're becoming the star of Alabama backyards, perfect for feeding a crowd.
Fire Pits
Create an intimate gathering spot that works for two or twenty. Nothing beats stories around the fire after a big win (or a tough loss).
