Fall is not just a season of vibrant foliage and pumpkin spice—in the South, it also means football! And with football comes the time-honored tradition of tailgating. At Nashville RV Rentals, we know a thing or two about creating the perfect tailgate experience. So, whether you’re cheering for the Tennessee Titans, Vanderbilt Commodores, or Tennessee Volunteers, or heading to Memphis for a Tigers game, or planning a road trip to support a nearby SEC team like the Kentucky Wildcats or the Crimson Tide, we’ve got you covered with these seven top tailgating tips.
Choose the Perfect RV for Tailgating
An RV is your ultimate tailgate headquarters. When choosing your RV, consider the number of guests, storage for food and beverages, and adequate space for games and lounging. We offer a variety of RVs that can accommodate any tailgate party size, from a small gathering to a full-blown fan club!
Plan Your Menu
Tailgating is synonymous with great food. Plan a menu that’s easy to prepare and can feed a crowd. Don’t forget to incorporate local favorites like Nashvillee’s iconic hot chicken or Memphis-style barbecue. If you’re venturing to support the Gamecocks or the Razorbacks, explore the local culinary scenes for menu inspiration!
Bring Your Team Spirit
No matter who you’re cheering for – Titans, Commodores, Volunteers, Tigers, or any of the SEC teams – showing your team spirit is essential. Decorate your RV with team flags, wear your team colors, and don’t forget those foam fingers!
Arrive Early, Stay Late
Tailgating is an all-day affair. Arrive early to secure a good spot, set up, and start the festivities. After the game, let traffic clear out while you celebrate your team’s win (or mourn their loss).
Remember the Essentials
Beyond food and spirit, don’t forget the essentials like a portable grill, chairs, coolers, games, and a first-aid kit. If you’re following the Tigers to Baton Rouge or the Aggies to Texas, make sure your RV is stocked with essentials for a longer journey.
Connect with Other Fans
Tailgating is about camaraderie and shared love for the game. Connect with fellow fans, join in on the friendly banter, and who knows, you might make a few new friends!
Respect the Rules
Each stadium has its own set of tailgating rules, so be sure to review them beforehand. Respect the space of others, clean up after yourself, and remember – it’s all in good fun!
With these tips, you’re well on your way to creating the ultimate tailgate experience. From Nashville to Knoxville from Lexington, KY to Starkville, MS, and anywhere between, Nashville RV Rentals is here to make your football season unforgettable.
