Want to be the envy of every other fan in the parking lot? Set up a Superbowl-worthy tailgating party with some great game day gear.

Keep covered from the elements by setting up a shade canopy right next to your car. If it is hot and sunny, you and your fellow football fans can take a break from the heat in the shade of this UV resistant covering. If the forecast calls for rain, you also have a nice dry spot to run to when the wet weather begins, since the canopy is water repellent.

Now that you have your covering all set up, you want to sure that everyone has a comfortable place to sit and talk before they move to their seats in the stadium. If you are expecting a bunch of your friends to stop by, you may want to invest in this four seat tailgating bench. However, you want to make sure you get some gear that supports your team. Pump up this football-shaped inflatable sofa for a comfortable spot to chill out pregame.

An essential for your tailgating setup is a table or two where you can put out a variety of food and drinks for everyone to enjoy. Choose your team and then search for their logo on a tailgate table. Fold it open on game day and leave it out to hold your breakfast, lunch, or snacks. If you are having a larger tailgate and one table won't be enough, you can purchase another folding table and cover it with football field design reusable tablecloth.

Now that your spot is all set up, it's time to eat. The most important part of making great game grub is to make a good portable grill. Take it out of the carrying bag and fire up your portable tailgating charcoal grill. This mini cooker also comes with12 pack cooler and storage bag hold all of your grilling accessories. If you prefer to work a propane grill before the game, you many want to purchase this collapsible grill. It comes with detachable side tables to hold your food while you are waiting for the grill to heat up. You may also want to buy the aluminum griddle for those who got to the parking lot early enough for breakfast.

Wash down your food with a few cold beverages while you are tailgating. Throw all of your drinks in a collapsible party cooler. This drink storage center can keep 75 cans cold at one time! If you want to listen to the game and keep your drinks cold, add the radio cooler to your tailgating checklist.

Enjoy the tailgating season!
