Fall is here and that means IT’S FOOTBALL SEASON!! There is only one thing that is almost as important as was watching the big game for fans, and that’s TAILGATING! Before the game, the cars pack into the parking lot and tailgate like crazy repping their team pride, playing games, and of course eating and drinking like the champs they’re hoping their team will be! Even though tailgating might look a little different this year, doesn’t mean you can’t still join in on the fun! Tailgating from home is the new best thing, and we’ve got tips to help you dominate! In order to be the king or queen of the tailgate, you have to transform your vehicle into a mobile gathering that will have all other tailgaters in awe. Are you ready to dominate the tailgate? Here are some ideas to make your vehicle the pre-game hot-spot!

Basics:

• The basic must-haves for your tailgate are food, drinks, tables and chairs, coolers and ice, plastic ware, and utensils. 
• One more must-have is the grill – not only to get barbeque, but it also comes in handy for when the season turns cool.

Upgrades: 

• If you’re really trying to take your tailgating up a few notches, you may consider bringing portable phone chargers, wireless speakers, and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. Talk about cool points!

Decor:

• What’s a tailgate without team pride! You need to make it clear who you’re there for, no if, and, or buts!
• Be sure to get those team decor paper plates and other fun decorations (Magnets, balloons, erasable chalk markers, team decals for your car, etc.) which can draw a crowd in for more fun!

Location: 

• The early bird gets the worm as they say, and it’s true! To ensure you find the perfect spot for your tailgate, arrive early to get first dibs on parking spaces. Sheltered spots to keep the sun, wind, and rain away are generally a wise choice!
