It may sound like a football fan’s dream to attend a Super Bowl game live and in person. But really? Indianapolis? In February?

Unless you are a rabid fan of the New York Giants or the New England Patriots — the conference champs who will square off in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, Feb. 5, at Lucas Oil Stadium — there really are better places to watch the National Football League title game … like from a tricked-out, beer-tapped man cave!

Homes with "man caves" — or rooms with giant TVs, sports memorabilia, wet bars, and comfy couches — have grown in popularity over the years and have become the go-to place on big game days. Or, dare we say, big movie nights?

Just in time for the big game, we found some homes for sale with man caves that offer the ultimate place to watch the tube on Super Bowl Sunday. So, sit back, pop a cold one and pass the chips and dip while we tour a few man-cave beauties.
