Man Cave

[grimes82]

Just wondering how many have turned a basement or room in thier house into a "man cave." I have just about finished my man cave, which is heaven for any chiefs fan. I have signed jerseys in shadow boxes, signed pictures, signed mini helmets, a full size helmet signed by 32 players for SB IV.....and several other chiefs memorabilia. I also have a wall for my time in the Marines and my current role as a state trooper. But for the most part, chiefs stuff.

Anyway, when I am finished I am going to take a ton of pictures and post them on here. Anybody else who has done the same, I would love to see pictures of how it turned out!

[smittysbar]

I have a room, though never took any pics of it yet.

[grimes82]

What all do you have in it?

[Sure-Oz]

Isn't Nzoners house a man cave?

[Radar Chief]

Yea, have an office area attached to the back of my garage that’s my man cave.
Got the TV and stereo set up in there but I’ve been too busy working on the Corveep to get the man cave fully organized so it’s not picture worthy yet.

[BigRedChief]

Big screen HD TV
Surround sound
3 Leather Lazyboy barcoloungers, leather couch
Signed sports memorbilia on the wall
A bar
fooseball table
Poker table

Yeah I guess that qualifies.

[Frazod]

I turned the spare bedroom into the Man Cave. It rocks. I'll post some pictures later.

[BigRedChief]

Isn't Nzoners house a man cave?no, his is a man city block.

[grimes82]

I forgot to add I have 4 tv's to watch the suday ticket games. It's my little dose of heaven on earth.

[Earthling]

I'd gotta do something like that. 15 year old daughter, wife, and sister in law next door. I NEED a place like that!

2/3rds of it is. Nzoner has the coolest wife on earth. :thumb:

[grimes82]

and a large stocked bar. As soon as I get the cieling up I will take pics...

[Donger]

My man cave consists of the Runaway Slave Retention Device and Gruel Dispenser.

[grimes82]

Ya, I have a wife...7 y/o son and 4 y/o daughter....I need it very much so. Not to mention its just a place to forget about all the bs I deal with at work!

Man Cave?

Sounds like you'd need some kind of operation for that.

[Inspector]

I have a manstorageshed. With an extension cord going to it. High tech stuff.

Yeah, that's right. I'm bad.

I haven't finished my man cave, but I am in the process. Working on getting a dedicated home theater in the sub basement of my house. Currently, I am stuck in the sanding/mudding phase. I'll be psyched when it is finished.

[booyaf2]

Two car attached garage. Wife parks her car on her side. My side has a card table, 36" lcd hd tv, pellet stove, 8 feet of bar area going each way along the walls from the corner where the tv is hanging, beer fridge, lazy boy, several patio chairs, a chiefs flag, holmes jersey, a chiefs xmas tree i haven't taken down yet, 900 of my son's hot wheels spread across the floor, a couple of my daughter's dolls, etc etc, its my man cave. Although it never fails, anytime i'm in there, everyone else soon follows, so I don't know how mannish or cavish it is.

[Chief Henry]

Just got done with mine about one year ago. I'm still putting pics up.

[seclark]

i keep my dead granny's organ in the basement.
go ahead...make jokes. it's there.

We're still working on Gonzo's man cave in our basement. So far he has a built-in entertainment center housing a big screen tv and we have almost all the walls covered w/ wainscot.

The decor is hunting related, (of course). He has his game mounts, along w/ a few paintings and such hung on the finished walls. He has a pool table, a dart board, a poker table, and his PS3, (which is currently upstairs).

Eventually we will finish his man cave, but we were having issues w/ water leakage so it put everything on hold.

Now there's a shocker. ;)

[Bweb]

Made one of the upstairs rooms into "Dad's Place". I have big TV, Stereo, Poker Table, Mini Fridge, Sofa & Recliner, & Xbox 360.

Alas, my 2 sons (ages 7 & 8) love "Dad's Place" :D

[Lumpy]

Now there's a shocker. ;)

Heh. Oh and I forgot to mention the elk antler/glass coffee table and the elk antler pool table light. ;)

[Bwana]

My man cave is my shop. I have all kinds of different hunting and fishing signs, a stereo, a bunch of other crap and a loaded beer fridge. It hooks into the garage and there's great place out there to sit around, have a few brews, while listening to some tunes and bullshiting.

[BigRedChief]

Heh. Oh and I forgot to mention the elk antler/glass coffee table and the elk antler pool table light. ;)jeeezz:rolleyes:

[BTAU]

I modt have ahd the pictures of the progress of my theater on my old phone. I will have to snap some the next time I start working on it again. We have it set up for a projector onto a 120" screen, 7.2 surround sound with all video game consoles connected to it and staudium Home Theater seating with the rumble in them (although that will be long after the project is finished).

We will be putting a bar in, but I have a feeling that project is lower on the list of projects to get done around the house.

[Radar Chief]

Without a Boogie Bass it means nothing. ;)

jeeezz:rolleyes:

Well, the subject is “man cave”. When the conversation turns to doilies and Oprah’s book of the month club we’ll let you know. ;)

[Lumpy]

LMAO Tacky.

The elk anters are real btw. ;) Gonzo has expensive taste.

Let me guess, you have one on your wall above your scrapbooking supplies, don't you? :p

No but dad has one. I’m waiting to inherit it, and other equally valuable family heirlooms.

[Radar Chief]

My man cave also serves double duty as Rhetta’s house so I guess I do sort of have a picture of it.

[MOhillbilly]

my shop is my man cave.

Do you mean a piano-like instrument, or a kidney?

[Jenson71]

I want to see pics, people. I'll rep you if your man cave is cool enough.

I'm trying to figure out if you're a spleen guy or whether you went with the brain.

[bevischief]

ROFL

That sounds about right!

[Bugeater]

My man cave is under construction currently, and isn't scheduled for completion until next summer. Or next winter. Maybe.

[ChiefsCountry]

I'm waiting on getting my new place before I start on my man cave/office. I got some sweet stuff to hang up just waiting on my place.

Some of my stuff:
Len Dawson Autographed Jersey
Derrick Thomas Autographed Jersey
5 George Brett Autographed Bats
1985 World Series Autographed Ball

[Frazod]

OK, here's my Man Cave.

The Man Cave is painted BLOOD RED, as it should be!

In the shot, you can see the computer, the Wii, the Xbox, the TV, the refrigerator and the bar. On the wall are some autographs and my collage commemorating Missouri's great victory over the evile scum of Kansas in '07. In the second shot, you can see the Man Cave Command Chair (which will eventually be replaced by a recliner), as well as my Marto Conan sword, mini-helmets autographed by Chase Daniel and Joe Montana, picture of my ship, Conan poster, and my shellback certificate (crossed the equator on a ship). I don't have a lot of room to work with, but I feel I've made the most of it.

Looks nice! Im still trying to collect some autographed memorabilia. Anyone know of the best and most affordable place to get chiefs stuff?

Thats sweet! Did you do that yourself?

[58-4ever]

I'm jealous. I'm at the point where I can finally afford something cool... but, I have my first newborn on the way, we are going to Hawaii in 7 days, and money is tight. When the baby comes I'm going to eventually turn the third room into an awesome man cave. A few arcade games, a beer tap, 50 inch Plasma, a few leather recliners, PS3, lots of Chiefs memorabilia, and my Kevin Durant stuff (the MVP of the NBA this year)

[Nzoner]

For any of the nOObs or whomever hasn't seen my man cavern,here's a few pics with plenty of planeteers and even a shot of the deck.

I've picked stuff up here and there. A couple were gifts, some I bought in KC, some online, a couple I got in person or had someone get them in person. Most of my autographed stuff is downstairs - we have a little shelf in the corner of the living room.

This is the Ultimate Man Cave. All other Man Caves bow down in reverence (at least all the other ones I've seen).

Joe's house is basically 1/3 house and 2/3rds sports bar.

I picked up a few autographed cards on Yahoo Auctions. I'm sure you could find some great deals on Ebay too. Just make sure they come w/ a letter of authenticity.

I tried entering it on HGTV's best man caves and the fockers replied we don't make it to the midwest very often to judge. 4321

Not really a man-cave, but more of a rec room/theater room.

And even then they might be fakes. I've seen figures that claim 70% of autographed memorabilia is fake. I can only say with certainty that seven of mine are legit. Of the rest, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I have certificates for most of them, but how do you know the certificates mean anything?

But since there's no way to prove it one way or another, as long as I think they're real, they're real to me.

No disrespect intended,I just won't buy anything autographed,I have numerous autographed items but I have to get them myself so i know they're 100% real.

Yep.

I used to sell memorabilia on the side before Ebay ruined the business.

Nowadays, the only way to be 100% sure the autograph is legit is to get it yourself, in person.

And it's gotten hard to get them first hand, because 99% of athletes think you're just going to sell it on Ebay.

[OnTheWarpath15]

It's a compromise. A man cave with some female decorating expertise.

We love it, and spend most of our time down there. TV, ping-pong, a bar, an elliptical, and a poker table.

Everything we need, all in one place, but not too crowded.

[Nzoner]

LMAO I know the feeling,I posted a pic one time of my place and the mrs had left one of her afghans laying on the recliner and I'll be damned if with everything else to see that didn't get pointed out

None taken. I completely agree. I've only purchased autographed items twice and they were legit... I think. :hmmm: LMAO

Here's a close-up of my Missouri/Kansas collage. Joe should appreciate this, since he's in the photo. :D

Clockwise from the left - the Star special edition "MU beats KU" thing they passed out in the Arrowhead parking lot after the game, the Sports Illustrated cover from the following week, a picture of Joe and I taken immediately after the game was over, and my ticket.

Nice.

The small frames on each side of the Delaney painting in my basement are framed 2006 WS tickets from games 4 and 5.

I also (not pictured) have an Opening Day ticket from the first game at New Busch and an All-Star program, ticket and home run derby ticket all framed similarly.

Awesome :thumb:

The only other major event game I ever attended was the 2006 NFC Championship Game in Chicago. I actually gave the ticket to a friend of mine who is a die hard Bears fan - it meant a lot more to him that it did to me, since I'm only a lukewarm Bears fan.

But I know I was there. It was a cool experience.

Funny, I did the exact same thing after I went to the 1999 NFC Championship here in STL.

I keep ticket stubs from every event I attend - I have a few shoeboxes full.

On top of the bookshelf in the 2nd pic of my basement, there are two footballs. One is a "K" ball from the game at Arrowhead when we beat the Cardinals 49-0 (IIRC) and the other is a legit game ball from Training Camp signed by Jared Allen.

Really the only other event I have "memorabilia" from is the BMW Championship at Bellerive in 2008.

That's an old pic.

The DT painting is now where the JD painting is in the above pic, and the JD painting is in the empty space to the right of the bookshelf.

Both look like they were made for our walls. They are perfect.

[Radar Chief]

I'm jealous. My man cave is still trashed from the move, and not nearly that big to begin with. I've got plans for it but what little spare time I have that isn't spoken for by MiniRadar, Mrs. Radar or Rhetta the Garage Dog has been spent working on this, which has been moving much slower than I care for.
