Tailgate decor must-haves & basics
When planning for your next tailgate, it’s important to not forget the basics. I know you’re excited about showing off your team swag, but remember first and foremost that you and your friends will need someplace to sit and relax (if you’re all-in, that means all day!), so make sure to have plenty of portable seating and table space available. Home Depot has a wealth of foldable camping chairs and table options, not to mention canopy tents (for when the weather doesn’t cooperate), that’ll ensure your tailgate party area is comfortable for all who come through for a brew.
Spirited tailgate tablescape ideas
From football field-themed tablecloths and table runners to football-shaped garland and even serving dishes, plate ware, and centerpieces (if you want to get real fancy), you can spice up your typical tailgate tabletop decor with plenty of game day flair that’ll have everyone anticipating the first kick-off. Best of all, you can get everything you need and easily stay under budget when you order your tailgate party decorations from Temu and Walmart.
Football flags to add that “wow” factor
Let the crowd know who you’re there to cheer on by picking up some flags to rep your team! Fanatics has a wide selection of team flags to fly at your next tailgate and serve as the perfect backdrop to your spirited parking lot party and remind everyone which team you’re hoping brings home the big “W” that day.
Light it up and bring the noise on game day
Remember the later into the season, the more light you’ll need as the sun will be going down early. Don’t get left in the dark! Grab a few sets of string lights from Home Depot to ensure the party doesn’t have to end when evening comes, and make your tailgate spot the “it” place to be with a portable Bluetooth speaker from JCPenney to keep the good tunes (and good times) rockin’ all day long.
Bonus round: tailgate games that bring the fun
You’ve got the best seating area in the whole stadium party lot and your decorations have team spirit running high, but how do you keep everyone entertained leading up to the game? Tailgate party games are a must if you want to get the vibe just right. If you’re not sure where to start, think about popular college games like cornhole (“bags” where I went to school), beer pong, and horseshoes; Walmart has tons of great outdoor lawn games to choose from that would work just as well at your next game day parking lot party.

- Meijer
