Prep and Planning

  • Arrive early: First secure a good spot. Next, give yourself time to set up. Finally, enjoy the pre-game atmosphere with friends and family.
  • Check the Rules: Stadiums often have specific guidelines for tailgating, grills, alcohol, and tents.
  • Pack Smart: Use clear bins or labeled totes to organize gear (food, cooking tools, games, cleanup).
  • Pro Tip: Freeze water bottles the night before—they double as ice packs and cold drinks later.

Food and Drinks

  • Simple Menu: Stick to easy-to-grill items (burgers, brats, hot dogs, kabobs) and finger foods.
  • Prep at Home: Chop all veggies, marinate meats, and pack in resealable bags to save time. If possible, do all your prepping the night before the game.
  • Safety First: Use separate coolers. For example, use one for drinks and another one for raw meat. Pack plenty of ice.
  • Signature Dish or Drink: Add a fun tradition, like a themed cocktail, chili, or homemade dip.

Gear

  • Grill (with fuel/charcoal) + lighter/matches
  • Folding chairs, tables, and tent/shade
  • Cooler(s) with ice packs
  • Serving trays, foil, and disposable or reusable plates/cups/utensils
  • Trash bags and paper towels
  • Portable speaker (keep volume friendly)

 Entertainment Ideas

  • Cornhole, Ladder Toss, or Frisbee keep the vibe lively.
  • Bring team gear, banners, and face paint to boost team spirit.
  • Create a game-day playlist.
  • Take lots of photos.

Cleanup and Safety

  • Pack wet wipes and hand sanitizer.
  • Bring a small fire extinguisher (if grilling).
  • Have resealable bags for leftovers and trash bags for cleanup.
  • Don’t drink and drive. Designate a driver or use rideshare.

Have fun! And cheer for your favorite team.

  1. Food Safety Temperatures: Be careful with all your meats and foods that need to be kept at a cooler temperature. Keep food at safe temperatures by using coolers and ice packs.
  2. Clean & Sanitize: Bring paper towels and cleaners to keep your area clean. Set out hand sanitizer to use before eating.  Practicing proper food handling and hygiene prevents foodborne illnesses.
  3. Get Organized: Maintain a clear and organized tailgating space to avoid tripping hazards. Along with your coolers, consider bringing a tote for your non-perishable items.
  4. Proper Ventilation: Use grills and stoves in well-ventilated areas. Avoid setting up near flammable materials. Being cautious with your grill set-up is essential for the safety of your tailgating area and others around you.
  5. Watch Hot Surfaces: Be mindful of hot surfaces and open flames, especially with kids around. After using your equipment, make certain you properly turn off your grills and stoves. Traveling with a warm grill is dangerous. Allow everything to cool down before packing your tailgating equipment away.
  6. Stay Hydrated: Drink lots of water or Gatorade throughout your tailgating experience. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Do not drink and drive.
  7. Pick Up Your Trash: Dispose of trash properly to keep the area clean and reduce the risk of accidents. If the stadium does not provide trash containers, bring your own bags to take your garbage back home. Do not leave the trash for others to pick up.
  8. Obey the Law: Follow local laws and regulations regarding alcohol consumption. Know the rules for consuming alcohol in the stadium and public gatherings. Not following the rules, could result in a hefty fine.
  9. Set Up in the Proper Area: Use designated parking areas and follow traffic rules when entering and exiting the tailgating area. Tailgating is about having fun. But there are rules and regulations to follow.
  10. Be Kind: Be considerate of others celebrating the football game. Yes, have fun! But maintain a friendly and respectful atmosphere.

Tailgating and football are a fun fall pastime. Following safety protocols ensures that you, your family, and your friends enjoy the day without any incidents.

Tips for Safe Tailgating

Today, September 7th is National Tailgating Day. Serving a meal around your vehicle at a sporting event is the primary purpose of tailgating. The fall season means football at every level. Attending a football game is a perfect chance to engage in tailgating. Remember, safety is a priority when tailgating with friends and family. 

  • Know the Rules: Before heading out to your local football field, research the rules and restrictions for tailgating. Check out the team’s website for proper protocol on tailgating. Some items may not be permitted.
  • Pack Cooler Correctly: When packing your cooler, remember to use lots of ice or cooling packs. Uncooked meat and other perishable food items need to be kept cold to avoid illness. Keeping things cold is a must. Do not leave food items out in the hot sun. 
  • Grill Responsibly: Watch your charcoal or gas grill at all times. Follow the directions. Pack the grill after cooling down. Grilling responsibly helps protect you, your friends, family, and others in the area. 
  • Know Your Limits: Tailgating is a fun, fall activity. Just remember staying out in the sun while drinking alcoholic beverages can be a bad mix. Use a highly rated sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and limit your alcoholic drinks to avoid sickness. 
  • Designate a Driver: Ask a member of your tailgating party to be the designated driver for a safe return home. 
  • Take Your Time: Allow yourself extra time to leave the parking lot. Leave early or late to avoid mass exit times. Watch for others in the parking, especially children or people who may have been drinking all day. 

With a few precautions, tailgating can be a fun-filled day at your sports stadium.
