Tips and Solutions Detail

It's Tailgating Time!

. . . . . .

Tailgating

Whether you’re planning the Ultimate Tailgate or a serious-fans-only party at home, kickoff the football season with a party that proudly flaunts the success of your team

Proudly decked out in your favorite team colors, this setting’s a winner for any stadium parking lot or living room. Use the steps below to give your table just the right touches to score big with friends and family.

Checklist

Steps

  1. Spread the word! Tell all your fanatic friends about your tailgate or party, and invite them to wear team colors.
  2. Fill the team helmets with chips and pretzels, using them as bowls.
  3. Roll napkins, using your teams key chains. When you set up, stack them beside the plates and forks.
  4. Make football folders: Type up statistics, trivia and information about both teams playing and print them out on your bright colored construction paper. Use a 3-hole punch, and put them inside the folders. Place a team emblem or sticker on the front with a personal welcome to your guests.

Tips

  • Remember to bring a cooler full of a refreshing beverage, or consider bringing a large thermos full of hot cocoa if it’s cold out. It will be appreciated!
