Not everyone wants to sit in a pub to watch the Euro 2020 games. Hosting an outdoor screening for the Euro 2020 Cup is a great idea, as it can help you and your friends enjoy football together in a fun and safe environment.
1. Select a venue
The first step to hosting an outdoor screening for the Euro 2020 Cup is to select the right venue. There are a few considerations you will need to make when it comes to selecting the right venue for your screening. Firstly, what size of audience do you expect to have? Next, you will want to make considerations like budgeting. You will also want to consider if this is a private or public event. For example, if you are opening the screening up to the public, you probably won’t want many strangers traipsing through your house to get to your outdoor screening.
Ideas for an outdoor screening for the Euros 2020 include:
- A large garden
- A beach
- A park
- A garden
- A town square
- A rooftop
- A lake.
As the organiser of the event, you must make safety considerations for your event. For example, if you are having your screening on a rooftop, you will need to make sure that there are supports to prevent the possibility of people falling off the roof. You will also need to remember that football can cause people to become very passionate, so you might need to be ready to implement some crowd control measures.
2. Equipment
The next step to hosting the best outdoor screening for the Euro 2020 is arranging equipment. The type of equipment you will need will again depend on the scale of your event. You will likely need to secure a projector, a sound system, power, and lights. You don’t need to buy this equipment; you could instead choose to rent it from a local audio-visual company. The advantage of hiring equipment is that you do not have to do all the installation yourself.
3. Choose the right game
Next, you will need to focus on choosing the game that you are going to screen. A few factors come into play when you are choosing which game to pick for your outdoor screening. Firstly, you will want to choose a game that interests your audience, which is likely to be a big game like a final or one that is relevant to your local audience. Next, you will also want to consider which are the most highly anticipated games of the cup. Looking at all the information available on the football Euro 2020 will help you to more easily determine what the most highly anticipated games of the tournament will be.
You will also want to make some practical considerations too. For example, you will need to think about the weather. Hosting an outdoor screening is all well and good on a temperate day, but people will be less inclined to watch the game outside in cold, wet weather.
Furthermore, very bright days present a challenge as it prevents a projector from working as effectively. You will need to consider the weather and think about installing a covering to keep away bright sunlight and heavy rainfall.
