Maroon Tailgating Supplies

Intensity, passion, and beauty are often associated with the color maroon. Maroon is certainly well noticed throughout sports with an emphasis on the collegiate level. Universities such as Mississippi State, Arizona State, and Texas A&M all rock the color maroon. A lot of these supplies can also easily double as a great tailgating gift. Below we are sharing some of favorite picks for maroon tailgating supplies:

Tailgating Tent

ABCCanopy Pop Up Canopy Tent: While they are considering the color to be burgundy, we feel like this looks more like the deeper red color over a traditional burgundy. We have been super impressed with the durability and easy set up of this tailgating tent as this is the tent we use for our tailgates. Major bonus as this tent currently comes with the sandbag tent weights that are great for setting up on asphalt or concrete.

Maroon Tailgating Chair

GCI Outdoor Portable Folding Rocking Chair: A few of these chairs made it over to our tailgate this past football season and they were super comfortable and relaxing. It was like having some of the comforts of home but outside instead.

Maroon Tableware

While any sports fan would say there is only one true maroon when it comes to their team, in tableware, there is quite a variety of shades. Below you will find what is considered a red berry and in some, burgundy.

Maroon Tailgate Supplies Bonus Finds

We love hitch accessories for our tailgate. It is such a space saver when you have a small amount of tailgate room to work with. The first of our maroon bonus finds for tailgating is the hitch mounted Tailbrella Umbrella. Perfect for shade if you are unable to put up a full size popup tent.

Perfect for kicking back, our second tailgate hitch accessory for a maroon tailgate are the Hammaka hammock chairs. A friend of ours has these and I am pretty sure there is no better way to relax at a tailgate.

In our post, Tips for Tailgating with Kids, we mentioned our love for wagons. Due to their ease of popping up to carry tailgating supplies from one space to another, Mac Sports collapsible wagons are hugely popular especially for those who have to tailgate away from where they have parked their vehicle.

Beast Cooler Accessories makes an incredibly awesome cooler accessory to allow you to change out the lid latches on your tailgate cooler. They are compatible to most Yeti and Rtic coolers to add a pop of team spirit and come in maroon as well.

One of the most popular style koozies for keeping your beverage cold are double wall vacuum insultated can type. They are super durable and easy to personalize as well. If you’re looking for maroon Rtic’s can has you covered.

Best Tailgate TV Mounts

Jan 11, 2020

Best Tailgate TV Mounts

When we first began tailgating with a TV, we realized that the mounting options were plentiful. With so many options out there the key to finding the best tailgate TV mount depends entirely on your setup. Budgets, surfaces, and the the size of your area all play a huge role in determining your best mount options. Below we have discussed the best tailgate TV mounts and what you may need to look for to find the best options for your tailgate party setup.

Tailgate TV Tripod Stand Mount

A great budget friendly option for flat tailgating surfaces such as concrete or asphalt is a tripod style, portable TV mount. These are often the most inexpensive tailgate TV mount options. Some things to keep in mind, you may need a larger tailgate space in order to use this option. These stands will use some real estate at your tailgate party and you especially want to keep them in position to stay out of foot traffic to make sure an unfortunate accident will not occur.

Top Tailgate TV Tripod Stand Mount Pick: Mount-It! Tripod Portable TV Stand

Tailgate TV Hitch Mount

Our absolute favorite style of tailgate TV mount is the hitch mount. Not only does it save a huge amount of space in our tailgate area, it is easy to transport as it folds flat. It is also minimizes any accidents of having the TV knocked over being at the tailgate party mounted into the tailgate hitch. There is also the added benefit of being able to be swiveled to point away from the sun or for smaller tailgate spaces. This is one item in our collection that has been worth every penny.

Tailgate TV Hitch Mount for Smaller TVs

Another option for a tailgating TV hitch mount is the TV Stud. This hitch mount works better for smaller TVs and works great for SUVs as it only holds up to 50″ TVs. This is another helpful space saving option as well as more budget friendly than the larger TV mounts.

For more information on Tailgating TVs, check out more from our Tailgate Winners website:

You can always set up tabletop

Before we jumped into mounts, we had our TV on a 6ft table. This absolutely works and is likely the most often used setup for most tailgates. We learned a few tips along the way on this as well. Table placement is key to minimize any accidents, so we placed our table as close to the back of the truck as possible. Next, take a look at your surface and make sure that it is even. Any slight bump to a table on an uneven surface can cause your TV to fall and no one wants that at a tailgate. You can also invest in a new stand that may allow your TV to be more secure.

2020 Best Coolers for Tailgating

For those of us that tailgate often, there is often a intense cooler collection. So many different coolers for a multitude of different applications. Tailgate Winners our ultimate list of the best tailgate coolers for 2020.

On Wheels

Whenever we are transporting large quantities of food and beverages, a large cooler is a must. Once you add the ice, drinks, and food to the cooler, it becomes more difficult to carry. That is why we love a cooler on wheels. Our favorite pick is the YETI Tundra Haul Portable Wheeled Cooler.

Best Wheeled Tailgate Cooler Pick: Yeti Tundra Haul Portable Wheeled Cooler
Honorable Mention: Coleman 62-Quart Xtreme 5-Day Heavy-Duty Cooler

Soft-Sided Cooler

When we have a lot of items to pack, we love to use a soft-sided cooler as it is much easier to pack in the car and can be carried like a bag to our tailgate spot. Our favorite pick is the Yeti Hopper.

Best Soft-Side Tailgate Cooler Pick: Yeti Hopper
Honorable Mention: OlarHike 30 Liter Large Cooler

Backpack Cooler

If you know that you will be hopping around from tailgate to tailgate, we love a backpack cooler. You can keep your hands free and transport your beverages with ease. Our favorite pick is the YETI Hopper Backflip

Honorable Mention: SEEHONOR Insulated Cooler Backpack

5 Simple Tailgate Must-Haves

Sep 11, 2018
simple tailgate must-haves

Over the years, we have accumulated a large amount of tailgating items. When we first started to travel to games we started small and over time added as we grew with new ideas. Below is our list of our favorite 5 Simple Tailgate Must-Haves!

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means we may receive a commission if you click a link and purchase something that we have recommended. Our opinions are 100% our own and we only recommend products and items that we love and use. While clicking these links won’t cost you any extra money, they will help us keep this site up and running! 

  1. Take a Seat!
    While I tend to stay mobile and social throughout a tailgating event, one of the easiest items to pack is a chair. This simple tailgating must-have will have your feet thanking you later after many hours of cheering! This Stansport Folding Director’s Chair with Side Table is a hit not only at our tailgate but other events such as family reunions, outdoor concerts, or anywhere that you may need a portable seat. It’s nice to have a small side table to hold your drink, your phone, or even a plate of food. For anyone who has played the balance game with a plate full of food in your lap, it’s a lifesaver!
  2. Add some rockin’ tunes!
    One of our favorite items for not only tailgating, but for year round use is our ION Audio Tailgater Portable Bluetooth Speaker. We’ve used this for parties, outside while working in the yard, and more. It’s easy to transport and rolls like luggage with a handle and wheels. Added bonus, you can charge your device at the same time!
  3. Keep Your Drinks Cool!
    We have entirely way too many coolers. We only justify this because it seems like we need a compilation depending on what we are doing. Right now, my go-to for a cold canned beverage drinking afternoon is my YETI Hopper.You an pack a ton ice and canned beverages without it being too heavy to lug around. It also fits nicely in the floorboard of the car due to having a more flexible exterior.
  4. A Folding Table
    We currently use this Lifetime 6 foot Folding Table. Because it folds in half, it travels easily and doesn’t take up a lot of space in the vehicle. We go back and forth between cloth and plastic tablecloths depending on the theme and what we are serving on it. You can easily put your coolers and other items underneath saving the top for all of your delicious food items. Speaking of other items to store under your table, that leads me to number five, a tailgate box!
  5. Tailgate Box
    Right now, we use a large plastic storage box for our items we will need almost regularly for every tailgate. A sampling of our items include:
    Health Basics
    – Sunscreen
    – Bugspray
    – First Aid Kit (I’m fairly certain someone read: me ends up needing something out of it)
    Food Serving Items
    – Paper Towels
    – Paper Plates
    – Napkins
    – Cutlery
    – Serving Baskets
    Items to store food after we finish eating
    – Plastic Wrap
    – Plastic Baggies
    – Aluminum Foil
    – Chip Clips
    Cleaning Items 
    – Clorox Wipes
    – Hand Sanitizer (Because, port-a-potties)

What are some your simple tailgate must-haves? We would love to hear from you!
