Former NFL player shares his tailgating tips

JACKSON, Tenn. — Football season has officially been back for the last few weeks, which means tailgating season is also in full swing.

So, what are some key features you might need in order to have a great tailgate?

A power source could be a great addition. Whether that be to keep your phone charged, or to make sure your TVs are always running to watch the games.

You also have to have food.

Burgers are always wanted at a great tailgate.

Finally, there are some devices that can easily make cool gear for you to support your team.

Former NFL player Merril Hoge says why these things are important.

“Because that’s what’s gonna help you enjoy the pregame and before you enter the game,” Hoge said. “Whether that is college, the NFL or even high school. It doesn’t matter what sport it is. Tailgating is a part of all sports. It can be used all the time. All these things are accessible no matter what your sport is.”

And if you do not want to travel to do a tailgate, you can always simply have one at home.
