Football season is here and we’re ready with this list of the most awesome tailgate gear every fan needs in order to tailgate like a boss!
Summer might have come to an end, but for many of us, the activities have just begun. There are tailgates and soccer games and practices all school year long. While you are carting kids around all weekend or grilling up food for the big game, get some of these essentials to make game days more convenient.
Portable Football Cooler
Pack up refreshments in this easy portable cooler that comes with its own carrying case. It holds up to 40 cans.
Team Bar
Serve up drinks on the patio with your own collegiate bar! Made with durable steel, with three levels of shelving and an in-shelf, food grade, waterproof cooler, this bar will be the perfect place to host your football gatherings.
Tailgate Plate
These durable plates have a built in drink holder making them ideal for a afternoon tailgate. They are made with BPA-free plastic and are reusable so you can use them for seasons to come.
Tailgate Hammock
These hammocks can be setup on your trailer hitch! Made from polyester, they have hanging footrests and attach to any 2” trailer hitch in just minutes. It is a great must have for the avid tailgater.
Parasheet Beach Blanket
Referred to as the “best beach blanket ever” this lightweight parasheet beach blanket is great for any outing. Lightweight and durable, the blanket folds up into its own attached carrying case, and each of the corners have stake loops and sand pockets in order to weigh it down. Just fill the pockets with sand when at the beach to keep the blanket in place or stake it down if you are lounging in the grass. It cleans up easily and folds up quickly. No need to haul around a bulky blanket for your outings, Grand Trunk has you covered.
Indoor/Outdoor Movie Screen
If you are going to be screening games at your house, do it in an epic way! This indoor/outdoor movie screen will allow you to project the big game on 144 inches of screen. Watching the game doesn’t get any better than this.
Silicone Rubber Wine Glasses
These are by far my favorite tailgating necessity. Made with silicone rubber, this set of four wine glasses can actually be flattened! Squash them in your tailgating gear and pop them back into shape when you need some wine. They are dishwasher safe and come with a 10 year guarantee.
Games
You have to have entertainment when you tailgate. Get one of these Wood Football Field Cornhole Sets to keep guests busy during down times in the game.
Portable Grill
This Margaritaville Portable Tailgating Grill is a full size propane grill that is connected to a steel arm that will attach to any 2 inch hitch. It has a porcelain cooking grates, electronic ignition, 20,000 BTU burner, side tables as well as a condiment tray. The sturdy design makes it convenient and easy to take on the go.
Portable Speaker
No tailgate is complete without some music. Bring along a portable, indoor/outdoor, water resistant, wireless speaker with 100 watt high power sound that will get your whole crew amped up for the game.
Chairs
Take a load off with one of these portable chairs that has an adjustable canopy to keep you in the shade. Take it tailgating or to the soccer field for optimal seating.
Tables
The Outdoor Portable Tailgating Table is the perfect companion for your next tailgate. With a zippered, insulted cooler, food holder and 4 cup holders, you can easily bring and enjoy food and cold drinks. Its light, collapsible design means it’s easy to store, and the included travel bag makes it easy to carry. 4 tension straps on each table corner ensure a stable table surface, so you don’t have to worry about it tipping over.
Canopy
Make sure to bring your pop up canopy that shows your support. Set up you food table or let guests lounge in the shade of this easy to set up canopy.
Seat Cushion
If you have to subject yourself to hours of bleacher sitting, make sure to bring a cushion like this seat. It doubles as a tote and offers storage for drinks or anything else you might need to bring into a game.
It’s Game Time!
Thank you to Grand Trunk for providing me with a Parasheet Beach Blanket! All opinions remain my own.
Those suspended chairs look amazing! Talk about tailgating in style. Great picks.
We are huge sports fan and tailgating is something we do on a regular basis. These essentials are indeed awesome, with that special plate being my personal favorite.
That parasheet blanket looks like a must have for picnicking. It would also be great for picnics or the beach.
These are some really great options. I really like that portable speaker.
We always bring lots of chairs, a tent, small folding table, small portable grill and a big old cooler when we tailgate :)
