pinpoint where you’d ideally like
to set up.

overpack, but also ensure you have the key
tools you need for the ideal tailgating
experience.
5. Tip 4
Label your supplies. This is especially
important if you are expecting a large
number of guests to show up to the tailgate.
You’ll want to be organized and purposeful in
how you lay out your supplies and food
options.
6. Tip 5
Mark your location. The last
thing you want is your guests
wandering aimlessly through
the rows of tailgating tents. Find
a landmark near you to explain
to guests where you are located.
Also tie a colorful balloon to
your tent to make it standout.
7. Tip 6
Provide a variety of cuisine options. Depending on which types of foods your guests
like, offer basic appetizers and desserts. Of course, bring your grill and cook the
essential hamburgers and hotdogs!
8. Tip 7
Decorate. A tailgate isn’t complete until you decorate the tables and tent with team colors.
Decorating is also a way pump guests up and get them excited for the game.
