Beer, Chili, and a big screen... isn't that all you need?

Pizza and wings,

You need to goto a superbowl party hosted by Colombians. We are talking 20 course meals, giant pots of soup that has been cooking all day long, lots of liquor and plenty of beautiful women. Though, there isn't much football watching at these events which is fine by me since I prefer Hockey

Back yard projector and Screen...

I was actually looking at doing this myself. In general, not specifically for the super bowl. My backyard is a 50'x50' with 6' high concrete walls.

12 foot screen (12ft across).
Short throw lens on a projector mounted 10ft away.
3 speakers for LCR.
4 rock speakers for surround.

Anyways,
What does your backyard look like?
Do you have to worry about any kind of reflection's?
What are you doing to contain the sound, as to not annoy your neighbors?
Because it is a open area, is your audio quality going to sound bad?
