Tailgate Parties for Sporting Events Must Be Portable
By Gail Leino

aussierulesfootball.JPGThe important thing to remember when planning your tailgate party is that it must be portable. You’ll be travelling to parking lots outside the stadium and maybe even pack up after the game is over to head to someone’s house and continue the party. Since tailgating does tend to last several days with lots of travelling you’ll need party supplies and equipment that can be moved and that is reusable.

A grill is one of the essential basics of any tailgating party and along with that you’ll need a good supply of charcoal or propane to keep it hot and cooking. Propane may be more dangerous if you plan on travelling around to follow your favourite team, but charcoal is fairly stable and you can pick it up in just about any store. That goes for food. Rather than trying to carry enough ice with you to keep the meat cold as you go, it’s better to know in advance where the stores are going to be so you can stop and pick up the food you’ll be cooking at the tailgating party.

Anything related to your team’s colors can make for great decoration. While streamers and dangles make for a great party at home they aren’t so good for the tailgating party on the road. Balloons are good because they are small and easy to transport, and you can simply blow them up when its time to decorate. Don’t forget the idea of decorating yourself. A colored wig, feathered boa and giant foam finger are essential tools for cheering on the team. These items can all be found in matching colors for you to coordinate with the team’s colors.

Last but not least remember the trash bags when you are tailgating. This is something almost everyone forgets at one time or another. Paper supplies like plates and napkins can make for easy clean up but only if you remember the trash bags to put them in.
