It’s that time of year again where the weather becomes crisper and football Friday’s get everyone excited! One good thing about football games is the tailgating parties fans have before them!

Being the life of the tailgate party isn’t something that ends with college! In this article, we’ll outline the perfect tailgating kit for your car!

Coolers

Yes, you read that right, coolers as in multiple coolers! One for food and one for drinks! If you’re thinking of grilling as you tailgate, you need a safe and cool place to hold your meat! You also can use the “food cooler” as a transport for leftovers (assuming there are any!)

Portable Grill

You have your drinks and your food prepared, so what’s next? Time to fire up the grill and throw on some delicious BBQ! If you want something low maintenance, consider using a small gas or charcoal grill. If you decide to bring a charcoal grill, don’t forget to make sure you bring extra charcoal, lighter fluid, and a fire extinguisher just in case things get out of hand!

Kitchenware & Utensils

This may be self-explanatory, but don’t forget disposable plates and utensils, napkins, and trash bags to clean up everything. If you plan on grilling, don’t forget BBQ utensils such as tongs, grill brush, and a spatula. Also bring aluminum foil, as to help keep pesky flies off your food and to help keep your food warm.

Folding Chairs, Tables & Tents

Stay out of the sun and elements with a tent large enough to house you, your friends! If you’re planning on eating, you should bring a foldable table to place the food on and eat off of. Don’t forget the foldable chairs too!

Games & Entertainment

Pregaming before the game is crucial! Whether it be with easy carnival games like bean bag toss or ring toss, you should definitely be prepared to entertain your guests!

Stay Safe and Have Fun!
