Football season is back everybody! College and NFL football is officially in full swing and you know what that means, it’s time to do some serious tailgating. The time-honored tradition of tailgating has recently reached new levels. As fans, we no longer just drink beer and have some chips and salsa in the parking lot before the game. The hardcore tailgater will bring an entire tricked out mobile home with TVs, grills, entire living spaces, tents, and food supplies that would last most people 3 weeks. With over 17 million people attending regular season NFL games, and over 40 million for NCAA games, tailgating is more than just a pre-game party, it’s a way of life.
Even Gordo’s gets involved in tailgating! Over the past few years, Gordo’s Dips has put on an Ultimate Tailgater competition at college tailgates across the country. We have met some of the greatest tailgaters that football has to offer! Check out last year’s highlights!
In the spirit of creating an epic tailgating atmosphere, I did some research for you. I went on a search to find some of the coolest items you might be missing to really make your tailgate the place to be! You know the people I’m talking about, you see them in parking lot and secretly hope they’ll invite you over for a drink. It’s your turn to be the center of attention! Check out this tailgate gear that will elevate your game to the next level.

This bad boy is on Amazon for $50 and it is super convenient and portable. Now $50 may seem like a lot for a folding table but with an insulated cooler under the table, you can make the most of your space. There’s also a perfect place for all the chips you’ll be dipping in Gordo’s Cheese Dip and it comes with a carrying case. This would work great for small tailgates or buy multiple if you have a big party.

We all know that no party is complete without some awesome tunes! If you bring the tunes and drinks to a music-less, drink-less party, you are going to be a hero! The speakers are bumping, the rechargeable battery will last about 16 hours, and there’s charging compartments for iPhones and Androids. Oh yeah, and it’ll keep your drinks cold!
