How to Prep for NFL Tailgating in a New Chevrolet

Football season is back, which means it's time for big plays, cold drinks, good food, and even better tailgates. If you're headed to an NFL game this season, the right Chevrolet can help make getting ready for game day a whole lot easier. Whether you're bringing the entire crew or keeping things simple, here's how to prep your Chevy for the ultimate tailgate. 1. Pick the Right Chevrolet for Your Tailgate Before you start loading up, think about what your tailgate actually requires. A Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a great choice when you need room for coolers, folding tables, chairs, grills, and other game-day gear. The truck bed gives you a separate space to haul the big stuff. Explore Chevrolet Silverado 1500 inventory Need to bring the whole crew? A Chevrolet Traverse, Tahoe, or Suburban gives you plenty of passenger and cargo space for a group heading to the game. Explore Chevrolet SUVs 2. Make a Game-Day Packing List The worst feeling at a tailgate is realizing you left something important at home. Before leaving, make sure you've got the essentials: Cooler and drinks Food and cooking supplies Folding chairs Table Plates, cups, and utensils Trash bags Ice Portable speaker Team gear Chargers Sunscreen And don't forget the most important item: your game tickets. 3. Take Advantage of Your Chevrolet's Storage Don't just toss everything into the vehicle and hope it fits. Use cargo compartments, under-floor storage, seatback pockets, and the available cargo area to keep smaller items organized. If you're driving a Silverado, use the truck bed for your larger items and keep things you might need during the drive secured and protected. 4. Bring the Right Vehicle for the Crew Tailgating is more fun with more people, and a Chevrolet Traverse, Tahoe, or Suburban can make it easier to bring the entire group along. Need space for football gear, coolers, chairs, backpacks, and passengers? A larger SUV can give you the flexibility to bring what you need without turning the cabin into a game of Tetris. 5. Get Your Chevy Ready Before Game Day Before heading out for your first big tailgate, make sure your vehicle is ready for the drive. Check your tires, fluids, battery, brakes, lights, and windshield wipers. If you're traveling a longer distance or hauling a heavy load, taking care of routine maintenance ahead of time can give you one less thing to worry about. Schedule service at McCarthy Chevrolet Overland Park 6. Don't Forget About the Drive Home A great tailgate doesn't end when the game starts. After the final whistle, make sure everyone has their belongings, clean up your tailgate area, secure your cargo, and head home safely. And remember: never drive if you've been drinking. Plan ahead with a designated driver or another safe transportation option.
