Alright fellas (and ladies), as the season approaches I think now is a good time to have a forum on tailgating. If this needs to be on the OT, then please feel free to move it.

Basically, I'd like to hear what people deploy for their tailgates...

- tent
- equipment
- satellites/tv
- chairs
- music
- booze
- food
- spot on campus/near stadium
- etc. & miscellaneous


Share the stuff you're proud of and that you think others would benefit from considering themselves.

I'm personally in the market for a new tent, I've made do with a shity Ozark trails one but would prefer upgrading to a nicer one, navy or white considering my two loyalties. So if you have a recommendation as far as brand/type/model, shoot.

ETA: And post pictures!

My current wish list:





Our spot on GT's campus when house is dry:

You need an open flame and a large cast iron pot for the jambalaya.


ETA: No tailgate is legit until it has an official name.

I've never done the TV thing. Too much work.

I have an old school bus painted Garnet and Black.
- Grill is attatched to the emergency exit so it swings out of the back of the bus.
- A deep freezer for a cooler in the bus
(we turned it down so we dont freeze the beer)
- pretty much a full bar (at least all of the liquor we drink regularly)
- 2 TVs and Satellite
- A good set of speakers (tower speakers and subs for a home theatre) for music and the game
- 3 tents and a whole shite ton of chairs
- A lot of food that changes weekly depending on our opponents.
- The usual tailgating games cornhole, washers, ladder ball, a football, and beer pong.

i dont think i missed anything ...

- generator ... shite i forgot generator

I'm a tailgating minimalist. No tent, no grill, no frills. A cooler, some food, stereo, and a TV. I don't bring the satellite setup, but have an antenna that picks up all thd locals in HD. We have a spot in the shade so tent has never been needed.

The women are in charge of the food. It's usually wings, ribs/BBQ, or fried chicken. If we get there early for an early kickoff I'll bring the camp stove and do some pancakes.

Cooler is stocked with beer and ginger ale.
