Best Practices for Tailgating and Watching Football on TV

As football season kicks off and college and professional teams begin their seasons, fans gear up to bring their team spirit to the stadium parking lot in style. Tailgating has become an iconic part of sports fandom, with fans packing food and drinks, bringing their own grills and TVs to watch the Sunday night football on NBC, and spending quality time with friends and family before and after the match.

Whether you’re looking to take your own tailgating to the next level or are a seasoned veteran, there are a few best practices to keep in mind. This includes prepaying for parking when possible, scouting the area for your ideal spot, being aware of parking and tailgating rules, and making sure you have the necessary technology to make the most of the day.

Aside from the food and drinks, one of the most important aspects of a successful tailgate is having the right equipment to stream your favorite games. Fortunately, advancements in digital TV antennas, mobile hotspots and satellite TV receivers are helping to transform the way tailgater’s enjoy the game.

In the past, many fans struggled to get scores and send texts using overwhelmed cellular networks jammed by tens of thousands of other game goers all trying to do the same thing at the same time. However, with new portable TV antennas and receivers that can be tucked away in the back of a vehicle, it’s easier than ever to stay current on the score.

One of the most popular new ways to watch the game is by streaming it on a smartphone or tablet using screen mirroring technology. This allows you to display what you’re viewing on the screen of your device for everyone at the tailgate to see.

If you’re planning on streaming the game, it’s a good idea to have some Tupperware and foil pans around so that leftovers can be easily stored in the cooler and later taken home. It’s also a good idea to have some extra trash bags on hand so that you can quickly and easily dispose of any garbage as it accumulates.

In addition to these accessories, a smart digital electric smoker is another great tool for the ultimate in tailgating tech. This lets you cook a wide range of foods with ease, from brats to barbecued ribs. It even allows you to monitor and control the smoke levels remotely via your smartphone, ensuring that your feast will be cooked perfectly before heading into the stadium. So, whether you’re a die-hard fan or just getting started, these new gadgets will give you the edge you need to be the envy of the parking lot this season. Then, all that’s left is to cheer on your team to victory!
