This hardcore football fan's theater has purple walls for a reason

This is Chris. As you might gather from his attire, he's from Baltimore and is a hardcore Ravens fan (that's the city's NFL team for those who don't follow professional football). His love for his team carries over to his purple-clad home theater room that he built out in his basement.

Chris says he's been a Ravens fan since 2003. When he purchased his house in 2011, he and his brother wanted to make a theater room dedicated to the Ravens. They knew they wanted to black out the ceiling and have purple walls. 

A friend of Chris' acquired some dream seats from an ESPN Zone that had recently closed.

"I have a regular group of six guys come over every week so we knew we needed to build a platform for the back row," Chris says. "Over the years I've added more memorabilia and upgraded some of the theater equipment."

"With a friend's help we installed this two-tap keg beer system into an old fridge," Chris says.

He recently upgraded his setup with this 70-inch 4K Vizio and a secondary 42-inch Toshiba that's dedicated to showing the NFL Red Zone channel.

This poster of Ray Lewis (Chris calls him "the best Ravens player ever") was a Christmas gift.

He recently upgraded the center channel speaker to a Sony CS8 "to get better vocals."

Black and purple are the Ravens' official colors. A black ceiling also helps darken the room for a more theatrical feel.

Chris says: "A dart board for something to do when the game isn't going as we hoped."
