Tailgate space is at a premium, so grab a cooler that has a propane grill tucked away inside and all the grill tools you need for a day of flipping patties and skewering hot dogs. The grill sits underneath the zip-in cooler and comes in a black canvas draw-string bag, for easy clean-up and storage after the game. It's everything you need for a day on the quad.

Drinks On the Go

Credit: Underdevelopment Inc.

Not that we advocate sneaking adult beverages into sporting events, but if you need to pack an extra 80 ounces of liquid on you, the Beer Belly is the way to do it. Fill the belly with your favorite lager and strap it on. A plastic tube and mouthpiece snake up the back of your shirt for easy access. Fear not, ladies, you can partake, too. Check out the Wine Rack for more information.

Beer Holster

Beer Chips

Credit: Jerry Kelly

Everyone knows that beer pairs perfectly with chips, but why separate the two? Dig into a bowl of salty, thick-cut, kettle-style chips coated with sugar, honey, and salt. If you can only bring one item to a tailgate, bring these chips–they're all-in-one delicious. Branch out and try the margarita and Bloody Mary varieties as the season goes on.
