Have These Tailgating Essentials On Hand for Football Season This Year

Tailgating is such a great time to spend with friends and family during football season. If your city doesn't have a winning team, you'll have tons of fun pre-gaming in the parking lot. If you're trying to compile a list of all the tailgating essentials that you need in a couple of weeks, here's our list to help you out:

• A good quality cooler that won't leak and is easy to clean.
• Chairs that fold up for easy storage.
• A tote filled with all of the essentials for cooking and eating. Plastic utensils, paper plates, napkins, paper towel and grilling utensils are all helpful.
• Garbage bags for easy cleanup.
• Bring some blankets along in case the weather is cooler than you expected.
• Rain ponchos will allow you to enjoy the tailgating and game experience if the weather doesn't cooperate.
