Want to know what football heaven looks like? Just ask this super-fan, who created a shrine to the University of Florida, right in his garage. The 13-by-22-foot room also has three 32-inch Sharp LCDs, a 110-inch Stewart Filmscreen fixed display, a Sharp 1080p DLP projector, 7.2-channel surround sound, a PlayStation 3, Lutron lighting and Crestron touchpanel control. It’s also got a full wet bar, an icemaker and two beverage centers.
However, it’s easy to miss all of that stuff and get caught up in the fanfare. Some of the highlights include signed jerseys; real championship rings; the game-worn cleats and gloves of Emmitt Smith, Jevon Kearse and Chris Leak; and a piece of the basketball court where the Gators won the 2007 NCAA crown. The crowning jewel, however, is a Dallas Cowboys helmet worn by Smith. The theater owner and football star struck up a friendship over a mutual interest in car electronics—as well as this homeowner’s car, which includes a mind-blowing 56-speaker system.

Makes the Man:
• Autographed memorabilia and game-worn gear
• Alligator fabric upholstery and alligator-texture carpeting
• Color palette that only a Gators fan could love
