Celebrate National Tailgating Day with our Tailgating Guide

The First National Tailgating Day was celebrated on September 3, 2016, and since then, it has become an essential event for sports fans across the country. Scheduled on the first Saturday of September each year, it marks the start of the football season and the beginning of countless tailgates filled with food, fun, and fandom.

What is Tailgating?

Tailgating is an American tradition where sports fans gather outside their favorite sports venue before a game to socialize, eat, drink, celebrate their team, and get pumped up for the game ahead. While often associated with football, tailgating is also a common practice during baseball season and at NASCAR races, where enthusiasts tailgate for days in the infield.

Tailgating is more than just an event; it’s a culture. It brings people together, fosters team spirit, and builds a sense of community. Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned tailgater, here are some tips to ensure your National Tailgating Day is a success.

Top 10 Tips for a Successful Tailgate

1. Keep It Simple

You don’t need a big setup to have a great tailgate. Consider compact yet innovative items like coolers with built-in sound systems or portable grills with speakers.

2. Be Prepared for the Weather

September can be hot, so pack sunscreen, hats, and tents for shade. Wear breathable clothing and bring hand-held fans to stay cool.

3. Try Something New

Wow your tailgating crew with new games, local craft beers, or unique treats like grilled lobster tails.

4. Get Comfortable

Invest in cozy seating like GCI Outdoor freestyle rocking chairs or portable hammocks. Tailgating chairs with built-in shade and fans can also make a big difference.

5. Keep Drinks Cold

Make sure your beverages stay chilled by adding rock salt to your cooler, which can drop the temperature below freezing. For a quick chill, consider devices that cool drinks in 60 seconds.

6. Accommodate Everyone

Be mindful of different dietary needs. Offer options for allergies and special diets, like vegan burgers and brats. Classic burgers and hot dogs are always a hit, though!

7. Stay Powered Up

Bring a small, portable power station to keep phones and electronics charged. It’ll make you the hero of the tailgate.

8. Keep Bugs Away

Use portable, chemical-free devices to repel insects. Devices that use table salt to kill flies are both effective and entertaining.

9. Drink Responsibly

Balance alcohol with water to stay hydrated. A portable breathalyzer can help ensure safe driving.

10. Show Your Spirit

Stand out with vibrant, fan-themed outfits. Fun accessories like belt buckles that hold drinks can add an extra touch of excitement.

The Perfect Tailgating Vehicle

Selecting the right vehicle can greatly elevate your tailgating experience. When considering trucks, prioritize features such as generous cargo space for chairs, coolers, and grills, along with tailgate functionality that doubles as a table or seating area. Choose models equipped with built-in electrical outlets and power generators. SUVs also make excellent choices, especially those with foldable rear seats for extra storage. Enhance your setup with accessories like awnings, storage containers, and tailgate mats.

Regardless of the vehicle, some features are indispensable: power outlets to keep devices charged, comfortable leather or vinyl seats for easy cleaning, entertainment systems with integrated screens and sound systems, and safety features like blind-spot monitors and lane departure warnings to ensure a secure journey.

Enjoy Tailgating the Right Way!

Tailgating is a cherished tradition that brings people together to celebrate their favorite sports teams. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first timer, following these tips can ensure a successful and enjoyable tailgating experience.

Ready to elevate your tailgating game? Visit Bush Nissan of Limerick to shop for a new truck or SUV that's perfect for all your tailgating needs. We suggest either the Nissan Frontier or the Nissan Pathfinder to ensure you have all the room you need to enjoy your time with all your new best friends. Get ready to tailgate in style!
