Tailgating adds fun to any football game. Gather your friends, food, a few games and have fun waiting for the big game to begin.

Do you pack the same things every week for the game? Gather the things you will need for your tailgating adventure using this list:

Tickets to the game

Food

Utensils

Paper plates, cups, napkins

Serving dishes

Table and Tablecloth

iPod

Add your favorite items to this list. Print the list this week to help you pack. Next week, you can print it again - and the week after that.

Add your favorite tunes to your Ipod - be sure to add your team's fight song! Add speakers for the enjoyment of your tailgating friends. This is a great time to listen to the favorite songs of your own era - hits of the 70's, the 80's, the 90's.

Games are plentiful - the most popular in our part of the US, the southeast, is bean bag toss. Other parts of the USA enjoy Bocci Ball! A deck of cards is always welcome and takes up little space when packing.

Be sure to have plenty of seating for visitors, too. Many fans entertain themselves before the game by visiting friends in their tailgate sites. Hoist a flag for easy identification!
