Tailgate Party Preparation List & Tips

Try to keep your tailgate party simple by planning easy to prepare foods and storing them in disposable containers. Prepare as much as you can a day or two ahead of the game. Arrive 3 or 4 hours before the game so you can find a good parking spot. Finally, make extra food and bring plenty of St. Supery wine to share with your tailgating neighbors.

The key to a stress free tailgate party is preparation. There is nothing worse than getting to the game only to realize that you forgot something (like your St. Supery wine!) For this reason, I am a big fan of lists. I have prepared this list for you as a starting place. Just add the items that you need for your particular menu.

• St. Supery wine (red and white)
• Wine glasses (plastic is safer for your tires in the event of breakage)
• Wine opener
• Trash bags
• Paper napkins
• Disposable plates, forks, knives
• Drinking water
• Wet naps
• First aid kit
• Folding chairs
• Folding table
• Disposable containers
• Zip lock bags
• Thermos
• Coolers
• BBQ utensils (tongs, wire brush, fork)
• Grill (charcoal, chimney starter, matches)
• Salt & pepper
• Don’t forget the food!
