Best tailgate party gear for 2019 – the list will grow over the year !
Every year, I go hunting for some new tailgate party gear or ideas to make your tailgate party an awesome experience. Just remember that I add Facebook quickie reviews almost daily so do check them out as mostly they are linked to discounted prices. All the items below are bargains at the moment (even at non-discounted prices believe it or not) , and remember, I will keep an eye on their special offerings over the next months.
So what will 2019 bring to the tailgate party? Comfort is high on the list in your tailgate party gear pack, especially on the east coast where any ways to stay warm get a vote.
1. The Heininger 5995 Propane Fire Pit
It’s hard to get a bonfire going in most parking lots – there are rules. Most just don’t allow it and if you are also grilling, you don’t want your drunken buds hanging around you while you flip those chops. A fire pit can be a great solution as part of your tailgate party gear to lock out the cold. The Heininger is operated by gas and those small propane two buck bottles do just fine for the time you will need it or you can connect up via its built in 10 foot hose. It is light weight which is a real bonus in selection of tailgate party gear to minimize what you need to pack and carry. It’s very quickly set up and its diameter is 19 inches, which makes for a convenient little hot-spot in the parking lot. Gets great reviews and has a warranty relating to customer service so be sure to lock that in when you buy. No smoke so that is a big environmental plus. It makes a great gift for anyone with a backyard, a camper or of course, a tailgate party dude. Discounted at the moment and highly recommended – for outdoor use only and very versatile with good looks so you can even use it on an apartment balcony as well as being excellent tailgate party gear.
2. Shot Taker Scoop Ball Set
Look, everyone knows scoop ball – it’s for kids at the beach, right? But when you add the Shots to scoop ball then it suddenly becomes an easy game to pack and play at your tailgate party. After all, it’s not called ‘shot taker’ for nada. Putting this one out there as it is lightweight for ease of packing in your tailgate party gear box (you could fit in two or three sets) and discounted at the moment to kick of 2019. It will make a refreshing change from cornhole.
3. Marchway Ultralight Folding Chair
This is probably the lightest chair on the market and is designed for quick set-up and for taking as little space as possible in your tailgate party gear box, while offering a high degree of comfort. The Marchway chair has a heap of high-tech features and also, a very wide range of colors so you can theme to your team as it were. Including its handy cover, it weighs around 2 pounds so you can easily transport with your tailgate party gear. It’s ergonomic and has breathable, ripstop nylon fabric so you won’t be too sweaty when your team is losing. A 250 pound bubba can fit OK and won’t collapse. Great joins design will ensure safety.
A very original and acceptable gift as well.
4. PartyPong Beer Pong Table – Optional Cup Holes and LED lights (Football Field )
Well, I thought I had seen everything in beer pong table designs but this is a knockout. A table is essential tailgate party gear of course and one that doubles as a games table as well as food holding is excellent. Optional are cup holding holes and you get to order the light system and design you want. No special price, sadly, but I think they are so amazing and fun that you could shell out for one of these. You’ll need to buy batteries to operate the impressive light array. This model has an attached beer pong cup holder and 6 balls and the finish is designed to repel the damage from any drink of your choice. Well, maybe not Grappa. So they tell me.
5. Kegco HBK209S – 3-keg Dispenser
This is a kegerator that you may want to leave at home and dispense into large insulated growlers on tailgate party day. Again, a kegerator is really the spine of tailgate party gear and if you are a fan of beer, this is the best way to make drinking affordable. The Kegco 3-keg is large and heavy but I am thinking that its benefits would be obvious to any beer lover. You can use it for your fave beers or homebrews of all shades (dark to pale) and really, you can be assured of a never-ending supply. The great thing about this one is that it has 5 stars review-wise and that rarely happens with kegerators. So it must be above average. I know buyers who just whine about the beer they pull from their kegerators and the thing is, they didn’t really read the instructions. There’s a technique, and also the sellers are happy to direct you to youtube clips and info that is sourced from happy owners so you CAN master these beasts. I would say, make 2019 your year of Kegerator ownership.
You will save a fortune !
6. U-Keg 128 oz. Growler for Craft Beer
The beer you make/buy for your kegerator can be dispensed into one of these Growlers from U-Keg and transported anywhere without loss of texture. It’s so easy to use and you will be assured of perfect beer no matter where you travel. So I would advise at least one, and preferably two of these in your tailgate party gear pack to get you through the game.
It is a great gift for tailgaters and makes the day when you can have ‘draft’ beer all day.
2019 should be an amazing year for sport as a lot of money has been directed into developing sites to make them more attractive to folk who want to actually go there to soak up the atmosphere in the best possible way. Parking spaces are wider at some stadiums and if you can get the same sites for each game, you can co-ordinate with your pals to maximize the fun space and bunch up the car space.
Once again, don’t forget to check our tailgate party facebook posts as they keep abreast of current price-savings and some news that may interest you.
Happy tailgate partying in 2019 !
