ExWNYer Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 It's not nearly as much as some of you have but nothing screams Bills and Sabres to me like this little beauty of a room... 1

I do have several JK signed items, but no jersey. Give them away to people you know would appreciate them and display them. Sell only if you need the money. My wife knew knew I had stuff, but not how much, since we never had a place to really display it. So when we bought our house she said the basement could be my cave. She thought there would still be room for her things. ? those are fine but got to go with the studs to make it complete.

BigBuff423 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 This was mine as part of the mostly finished basement until about two years ago. My family and I moved to Europe and then we moved back, so in the process (about halfway there) to getting into a new house. What you don't see is a 55" flat screen hanging on the wall opposite the couch and yes the bar had mini-fridge stocked with beer and soda along with snacks on the shelves under the bar. It was quite nice. I miss it....but, I'll get another one next Spring. 3
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 If I'm alone in a bachelor pad does that make my entire place a man cave? 1

Given that the state of the Bills for most of the last 20 years has been pre-flush, this room, with an empty bowl, looks great right now. 1

One of them had a man cave in it and she said I would love the house. She showed me the pictures of the house and it looked really nice. Finally got to the man cave pics and it was fully detailed in patriots colors, logos, jerseys, etc. Handed the phone to my wife and said "you know I would never live there right?" Wife: "why? You can just paint over it?" Me: "Yea, and covering up all those ancient markings in horror movies kept the family from getting cursed to didn't it?" Right decision, sir. Could've been a virtual Poltergeist/Amityville situation you almost had there. Edited April 15, 2019 by Tenhigh

And no Bills stuff simply because as much as I love the Bills, for a number of years I moved around a lot and didn't collect things. I've never been collector of anything. In fact I probably throw more stuff away than I should. That said, I used it every night and on game days, but I also made it kid friendly for my daughter who was younger than 5 at the time. So, while she wasn't in it often, I wasn't going to keep her out of it either. Suffice to say, it was a man cave because it was mine to use and because I made it that way, but not because of décor or because it had a bunch of other male-oriented items in it. My next man cave will be similar, but a little more for me now that my daughter is a few years older and doesn't need extra play space. 1
Captain Hindsight Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Just moved into my house this past weekend actually. Have some ideas for a man cave but nothing concrete yet. I have every ticket and program from every game I've ever attended so I'm hoping to do something with those. I have a few jerseys I can display and a signed Jim Kelly football

Suggestion; make a bar -they’re easy enough to do- then shellack the ticket stubs on the top to protect them while always there for remembering. Caution: if you do, know that it must go with you everywhere life leads you.?
HOUSE Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) This looks just like mine but my screen is bigger Edited April 15, 2019 by HOUSE 1 1
BUFFALOKIE Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 My man cave smells of axle grease, cut lumber, tobacco and stale beer. No pics, but it is awesome.
Orlando Buffalo Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 I do not have any room in my house that is just mine but in about 10 minutes i can have a 55 inch t.v., 50 inch tv, and 32 inch t.v. set up at the perfect height for viewing all sporting events on that is about 8 ft from my fridge and all the beer and food i want. Also my wife is cool enough to clear out with kids if i need it- which is usually only about 4 days a year.
holla83 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 I bought my house going on 2 years ago. It's a small 3 bedroom ranch. However, one of the big selling points was the finished basement. My plan was/still is to turn one room into a theater room and another into a game room/man cave. The centerpiece being my autographed Thurman Thomas jersey. I also hung up plaques of Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, and Mike Piazza, a framed Rat Pack poster, and an autographed picture of Natalie Gulbis. I also bought a pool table and an electronic dart board. Unfortunately, my basement flooded last summer. Major setback on those plans. 1
T master Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I use to have one when i was a single man but then for some reason i decided after 55 yrs of being single that i needed to get married WTH was i thinking !!
