Fun

Games are an absolute must. That competitive spirit is in the air and it’s going to need an outlet. Our SOLO Soda Scrambler is a surefire win at any party. Your tailgate will be no exception.

Props are also an important part of the tailgate atmosphere. Your team’s helmet, DIY goal posts, themed tablecloths and napkins are all good additions. And don’t forget the football!
