Cookouts, music and of course, watching the game bring everyone in the parking lot together. With the NFL season officially kicking off this month, tailgating will surely return in a big way.
If you go to a stadium on game day, you’re sure to have a great time celebrating with plenty of people who love your favorite team. With these tailgating essentials, you'll be the most popular person in the parking lot.

When we have a team we love, it’s hard to take things lightly. A poor play or ref call can make for a stressful situation when the game comes down to the wire.
Stress balls are a great way to keep the excesses of your team spirit at bay when things are getting serious. This set of three can help you and a few friends stay calm when things aren’t going your team's way (or even gently taunt your opponents when they are).

Tailgating can produce a lot of waste, and there isn’t always a trashcan or recycling bin handy in the parking lot. So why not take a trash can with you? With this pop-up trash and recycling bin, you can easily keep your waste out of sight and out of mind.
While you could lug around a plastic bin or a trash bag, these come with problems of their own. With this collapsible bin, you’ll have a low-profile and secure way to handle your tailgating trash.
Tailgating is essentially one big communal party, and if there’s one game that’s best suited for parties, it has to be beer pong. With this simple beer pong kit, you can set up the classic party game for anyone (of age) to play.
The set comes with all the blue and red plastic cups you need and four ping pong balls for the ideal table-top experience. Enjoy your own game before or after the big game itself with this party game for you and your fellow tailgaters.
There’s no game better suited for the outdoor grilling experience than cornhole.

In fact, the whole set weighs less than 4 lb and can be set up in mere minutes. It also comes in a convenient carrying case less than a foot wide.
This best-selling Amazon’s choice portable cornhole set comes with everything you need to play the game and it’s less than $35 with the additional coupon.
