It’s National Tailgating Day! Whether you’re at the stadium or arena for a big pro ball game, or you’re hanging out with fellow parents at your kiddos’ local tournament, there’s never a bad time for a tailgate party. Get ready for the upcoming sports season with these fun car gadgets and travel worthy barbecue gear. We’re bringing you even more fun ways to step up your tailgate events! Gather your friends in your driveway, the cul-de-sac, or the stadium parking lot for some good ol’ fashioned tailgating with all the amenities of modern living.

First up, let’s start with great portable grills!

The Napoleon TravelQ offers options in propane, natural gas, and electric. The Pro285X offers two burners, a portable cart, and propane gas that’s perfect for small spaces and grilling on the go.

The SnS Grills Slow N Sear grill offers an 18” and 22” size portable charcoal grill. Great for tailgating and camping, this little grill gives you control over the heat with two zones and easy cleanup after.

The Weber Q1200 Portable Gas Grill is a great table-top entry option that takes less than 15 minutes to assemble before cooking and is . There’s also an optional separate rolling cart made to fit this grill if you’re looking for more portability.

Next Up: Tables! Great portable tables with plenty of room for prepping and eating.

The Mountaineering folding camping table is easy to carry, easy to clean, and easy to store. It rolls right up into an easy-carry bag so you can bring it anywhere! And it’s sturdy enough to hold up to 30 lbs, making it great for serving those burgers and wings at tailgate day.

We’re big fans of REI Co-Op here at classic and this Camp Roll Table is no exception! This small, lightweight table sets-up and breaks down quickly! Weighting just under 9lbs, this thing is easy to carry and store, but has a workhorse capability with the ability to hold up to 100lb capacity. And of course, we also love the Camp Prep Table for similar portability but even more space, and an adjustable height from 22-31 inches if you’re looking to splurge a little more.

The All-In-One Tailgating table from Camerons Store on Amazon offers a place to put your drinks, snacks, dips, and beer all in one place! It easily folds and stores together for lightweight, easy transport.

And last but not least, a place to sit back, relax, and enjoy your meal before the big game.

A great portable, foldable camping chair and spots-friendly chair is an absolute must for the avid tailgate participant! Here are some of our top favorite picks:

Coming in on top is the Flexlite Air Chair from, you guessed it, REI Co-Op! This convenient chair comes in 3 colors and folds down flat and small weighing in at only 1lb to the size of the average water bottle. Holding 250lb weight capacity this makes it flexible for adults and kids alike.

The Coleman Broadband Mesh Quad Camping Chair is perfect for tailgating and camping! The chair has adjustable arms and a sturdy base, and supports up to 250lbs.

Great Accessories for Tailgating and Travel

Grills, chairs, and tables are all great but what good is tailgating if you don’t have anything to bring the food? Exactly! Here are some of our picks for great tailgating items to transport your food and utensils to make game day cooking a breeze.
