25 tailgating essentials every football fan needs for game day success ๐
The best part of the year is here! College football has seen quite the shake up and the NFL is moving through its season nicely. If you're planning to tailgate at any level this season, you need to be prepared.
Tailgating doesn't necessarily require a pickup truck, although one does come in handy. But, you can use whatever car you have that will carry all of your necessities. The best idea is to team up with a small group for the best vibes! From tables to grills and even fun things to keep you busy, there's plenty you can contribute. Don't show up to the tailgate empty-handed!
