Football and Projectors - The Perfect Combination

A projector is your ticket to life-size football games. Projectors produce the best value in big screen viewing, with the lowest cost per viewing inch of any current display technology.

Football and Projectors: Need a Visual?

Sometimes it helps to see a visual to get an idea this big across. Here are a few images of the Panasonic PT-AX100U projected on a home. The PT-AX100U has since been disconnected, but you can expect even bigger and more realistic images from its current replacement, the Panasonic PT-AE7000U.

Projectors and Football: A Perfect Match

  • Projectors can produce GIANT images.
  • Building a home theater is a simple DIY project that adds value to your home and fun to your life.
  • Projectors are not fixed in size. You can have an image from 30 to 300 inches depending on your mood.
  • Projectors are cheaper to ship than a TV. Plus, we offer free shipping on all projectors over $799 (except demo units.)
  • Projectors work great with computers as well as DVD players, Blu-rays, gaming systems and other sources.
  • Projectors are super-portable. They usually weigh less than 10 pounds and can travel with you very easily.
  • Hands down, watching a movie on a projector at home is the closest way to replicate watching a movie in a theater.
What about Plasma, Rear Projection, and LCD TVs?

Plasma, rear projection and LCD TV images look phenomenal, but with the largest screens coming in at just over 80 inches, they can't compare to the image size possibilities of a front projector. Depending on the projector you choose and the space in your viewing area, you can have a screen as large as 300 inches. Typically larger rear projection, plasma and LCD TVs are also more expensive per viewing inch.


After the Football Game, Break Out the Video Games on Your Projector

How Much Will it Cost to Project Football on the Big Screen?

The short answer is between a few hundred bucks and as much as you want to spend.

Prices of projectors vary substantially based on specifications such as brightness, resolution and feature sets to name a few. Entry level projectors start at $400. High definition projectors have recently dropped in price and can be purchased for as low as $500.

A projector screen is not required but is highly recommended for the best quality images. Screens can be purchased without bells and whistles for as low as $80. You can also purchase screen material without the frame for a little bit less. Some DIY enthusiasts like to create screens and mounting arrangements of their own.
