Editor's Picks: Are You Ready for Some Football?

Growing up in the Midwest, the fall meant two things: back-to-school (the nightmare that had been haunting all of us kids since the beginning of August) and football. With high school games on Friday nights, college rivalries on Saturday afternoons and NFL showdowns all day Sunday, there was plenty to keep even the most diehard sports enthusiast busy.

Nothing can compare to those weekends that I spent surrounded by my friends and family as we watched the big game. Whether we were in the bleachers, glued to the television, or waiting in the never-ending half-time bathroom line, the fun of game day was immeasurable. Of all the ways to enjoy the game, the best approach to get hyped and celebrate our team spirit was with the football staple: tailgating.

Football fans are always on the lookout for ways to improve their pre-game experience; they're often guilty of checking out what their parking lot tailgate neighbors have brought to the party. Even if your clients don't have the resources to supply end-users with a party bus painted in team colors and decked out with grills, flat-screen TVs and hot tubs, they can still help tailgaters with these game-day essentials.
