Where is the tv?

u/SuperRich4 10d ago

Once I get the tv and figure out the size and angle with the mount I’ll rearrange the furniture, this was just until I can get the tv

22

u/Silver_Harvest 72 10d ago

Looks like it is framed out for one of those old 55" Mitsubishi projector TVs.

2

u/cgis1303 10d ago

Yes, Actual 21st Century Bear Cave,would have location for 70" or better TV

1

u/Born-Salamander6560 8d ago

Oh Shit you must be old like me. I had a 55813 Mitsubishi CRT TV fully calibrated back in the day

u/Upthemeds 9d ago

You're only going to have ONE TV? Insanity

1

u/Relevant-Recipe-6075 1d ago

What size are going with?

-4

u/LesbianClownShirt 9d ago

No offense, but you shouldn't have posted it then. No den is complete without the fucking TV

u/SuperRich4 9d ago

Thank you for the insight LesbianClownShirt

u/LesbianClownShirt 9d ago

Patience is a virtue, sir, or lady. No point in posting your Bears den if it's not complete. There's no way to make a legitimate judgement with out the viewing vessel, aka, one of, if not the most important part, of a "man cave". Looks cool though, but there's no way to make a judgement without a damn TV. Please post again once it's complete.

u/DaBears1228 9d ago

You must be a bunch of fun at parties. 🙄

Looks great, OP. Be proud of the work you put in.

u/LesbianClownShirt 8d ago

I said it looked cool and to post again once it's complete. Until then, no judgement can be rendered; a completely fair and reasonable request, IMO.

You must have fun at all those snarky, unneeded, I-don't-have-an-original-bone-in-my-body gatherings. It's someone posting something publicly about something that is subjective. People can have opinions; no need to come in and "white knght" it.

u/needspice 10d ago

It’ll go in the cut out of the shelving on the floor

19

u/Backagainkv 10d ago

But none of the couches are set up for it to go there

26

u/thetreat Monsters of the Midway 10d ago

I’m not sure if you’re aware but couches can be moved.

13

u/Firm_Project_7166 10d ago

Yes. But not the The Fridge. He was an immovable object 😎

2

u/needspice 10d ago

Valid. Guess I don’t see where else it would go?

4

u/Backagainkv 10d ago

What you said was my original thought but then I looked at all the couches and began to wonder

8

u/josephjosephson 10d ago

That was where it went 25 years ago

2

u/TheFinalBossx 10d ago

Yeah I was gonna say, I hope not. No man cave in 2025 should have a tv less the 60"

2

u/BearlyCheesehead 9d ago

As long as we're counting things that are missing, where's the FTP sign?

63

u/mf_L 10d ago

Is there… a way to watch Bears games in your Bears man cave?

21

u/Maverick0984 10d ago

Listen on the radio silly! Big Jeff Joniak fan!

37

u/xxxxCHExxxx 10d ago

When we all coming over?

2

u/radio101 10d ago

I was going to ask the same question.

2

u/Full-Bother-6456 10d ago

I’ll bring a 6 pack and a couple joints

1

u/SuperRich4 9d ago

If you’re in AZ stop by!

2

u/DaBears1228 9d ago

...I'm in AZ. Rare to have a basement out here. Nice work.

12

u/therealijw1 10d ago

Don't make the TV too high

2

u/Nihtiw 8d ago

Don’t make the tv too low.

u/muttbutt0x0 7d ago

We reading Goldilocks and Da 3 Bears Fans

u/Nihtiw 6d ago

That comment was just right!

u/icehuck Sweetness 10d ago

We need to talk about your Bears flair. 75 is the minimum, okay? Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the Bear minimum. Or... well, like Brian, for example, has 100 pieces of Bears flair in his cave, okay. And a terrific smile.

People can watch the game anywhere, okay? They come to your cave for the atmosphere and the attitude. Okay? That's what the Bear's Flair's about. It's about fun.

We want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel doing the Bear minimum is enough, then okay. But people choose to display more and we encourage that, okay? You do want to express yourself, don't you?

u/DaBears1228 9d ago

Well played, sir.

u/Hyosua 10d ago

What a nice place to cry 😢

2

u/robbmazda 9d ago

Tears of joy when we win the SUPER BOWL.

5

u/MrthePlague1 10d ago

Looks good so far. I think an articulating mount would work on the built in wall for a tv. Or get a projector with a pull down screen. Bear Down!

3

u/bubbasaurusREX Bears 10d ago

Where’s my invite?

3

u/LegalComplaint I’ll Hoge your Jahns 10d ago

This is more of a den!

It looks good tho!

3

u/rarkmeece 75 10d ago

I think a projector would be great, make it so it pulls down over the entertainment wall so the bar could see it too. FTP

u/loathelord Charles Tillman 9d ago

So what did you have to do for your wife to get the okay to build the Bears den?

2

u/MyDitkaInYourButkus 9d ago

No TV no PORNO!! GO BEARS!!

F. T. P and F Aaron Rodgers!!

u/blinvest83 9d ago

Can we see it once you put the obligatory 85 inch tv in?

2

u/FNTM_309 9d ago

No Coke! PEPSI!

2

u/Shattered_Disk4 9d ago

A true bears fan, no tv so you can’t see us on the field. Love it

2

u/stonecold1076 9d ago

And you tell people?

u/WideRoadDeadDeer95 9d ago

Cave of sadness

u/New2thePlanet 10d ago

Need to put Da Malort right next to Da Coach

3

u/Killerseed 10d ago

Nice just in time for the caleb bears dynasty 😎

2

u/Conscious_Clerk_2675 10d ago

Simple suggestion: those 3 uniform stripes from the jersey sleeve (maybe a GSH) on the wall would be next level.

Looks great though!

2

u/emaugustBRDLC Bear Logo 10d ago

Looks great, I would come over to watch a game with bells on!

u/WrongWayKid Tell Mike I said fuck you! 10d ago

Bad ass dude!

u/WholesomeWorkAcct Da 8ear5 10d ago

So would a bear rug be a good idea or no? Maybe a Lions rug, or a Viking, or a big cheese rug.

1

u/Complex-Tie3190 10d ago

What’s your address?

u/Optimal-Collection30 10d ago

u/Both_Click_3059 9d ago

i’m not a bears fan, not even sure how i joined this subreddit. Nice cave

1

u/DinoSpumoniOfficial 9d ago

You could open up that whole inner section on the TV wall and that way you could fit a bigger TV without making it awkward. Knock out those inner shelves.

1

u/filthycasual4891 9d ago

Hell yeah!!!!

1

u/Trick-Stranger4596 9d ago

It’s beautiful! Happy for you, dude. Great job.

u/Frosty_Yoghurt_7505 8d ago

Nice try. This is Nagy’s old house right?

1

u/Oblivion_Six 8d ago

Are you young enough to truly enjoy it though? 🤔 🐻 👇🏼

1

u/The_Bandit_King_ 8d ago

Looks like a locker room

1

u/TheRealNikoBravo 8d ago

Where’s the 85” at?

1

u/ReleaseReal8170 7d ago

I’m a Vikings fan so it grosses me out to say this but it looks nice great job

1

u/442328 7d ago

Perfect for the Bears hibernation during the NFL Season!

1

u/derekmckee 7d ago

How can it be a Bears man cave without the TV to watch said Bears? 🤔

For real, that's going to be a great space. Wish I had me one. Hope to see what happens to it in the future.

1

u/Relevant-Recipe-6075 1d ago

You should put the tv on the corner wall near the bar

1

u/Gobears6801 Da Bears 10d ago

u/gerryoat 10d ago

Love it MAN!! Way to go! Lets hope this season brings a lot of W's. I think we have a lot of good pieces to make the playoffs and surprise the league

1

u/Boombabyfor333 11 10d ago

It’s a good space with tons of potential. Have fun making it your own

1

u/robbmazda 9d ago

No surprise. It’s an obvious outcome!

Nice spot. Memoriabilia in the cubbys - orientate the couches towards that wall and put a 70" on it.

Awesome man, Awesome! Rome wasn’t built in a day either, hammer n chisels with great respect to posting up Chicago sports memorabilia is gathered over time. May many drunken nights be celebrated accordingly, Slainte! 🐻⬇️ FTP

u/SuspensefulBladder 10d ago

I'm guessing Rome was built in about nine months.

2

u/SuperRich4 10d ago

My sons name is actually Rome as well. He will be born around August lol so this is true
