Ultimate Buys for the Perfect Tailgate at Home
Let’s be honest, 2020 has been the year we’d like to forget. Why not treat yourself to some game day splurges, because, hey, who knows what this year will bring next.
Check out these finds for the ultimate backyard tailgate.
The Chair
If you’re going to be sitting in the backyard for hours, a typical outdoor folding chair just won’t do. Be prepared to be in for the long haul and get yourself an outfit like this Folding Cooler Chair from The Sharper Image. It’s comfortable and it’s got plenty of room for refills.
The Tent
If you’re a pregame parking lot regular, you’ve probably already got protection from the elements. If you’re looking for something new or something that won’t be a complete eyesore when it’s set up in the backyard, consider this pop up tent with side walls from Amazon.
The Grill
The perfect grill may never be found, but we think this one from Weber comes pretty close. The Summit Grill Center is sure to please even the pickiest of grillers.
