Make sure you don&#8217;t forget your grill with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Propane-Grilling\/Propane-tanks-and-heaters\/20lb-Propane-Tank-With-Gas-Gauge?id=13318&amp;utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=propane&amp;utm_content=20141118-whattobringto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spare propane tank<\/a>, and you can even<a title=\"Tailgating in Style\" href=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/2013\/08\/29\/tailgating-in-style\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> dress up your grill and tailgating essentials<\/a> with your favorite team&#8217;s logo.<\/p>\n<h3>Food &amp; Drinks<a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/propane-square-food-tent.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-25078 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/propane-square-food-tent-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"What to bring to a tailgate\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/propane-square-food-tent-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/propane-square-food-tent-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/propane-square-food-tent.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to pack condiments, utensils &amp; napkins, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Clearance-items\/Premium-Food-Tent?id=4480&amp;utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=movingsupplies&amp;utm_content=20141118-whattobringto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">food tent<\/a>, bottle openers, ice, and a nice big ice chest.<\/p>\n<h3>Entertainment<\/h3>\n<p>Aside from the anticipation of the game, the pregame entertainment can be just as important. Be sure to pack a football to throw around, a good old game of corn hole, and a camera to capture the memories. If you go all out for game days (as you should), you can even bring along a satellite television to watch the pregame news or even the entire game from the comfort of your tailgate.<\/p>\n<h3>Odds &amp; Ends<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the time of year, you&#8217;ll either want to bring a hat or beanie to keep you protected from the elements. Add in sunscreen, sunglasses, a first aid kit, and a blanket to ensure maximum comfort and optimal game-watching conditions. For more ways to stay warm at a tailgate, consider investing in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Propane-Grilling\/Propane-tanks-and-heaters\/Portable-Buddy-Heater-MH9BX?id=9608&amp;utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=propane&amp;utm_content=20141118-whattobringto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portable heater<\/a>.
