Football is officially back. With it comes the hope for a great season, along with the stress that accompanies your fantasy league. Plus, with most stadiums reopening to near-full capacity, the opportunity to drive to a Sunday game returns. Football is great on TV, but it doesn’t beat cheering in the stadium surrounded by fellow fans.
So if you’ve got tickets to a game, be sure to pack these top-rated football game essentials from Amazon before hitting the road. You can use this stuff during the actual game, tailgating in the parking lot, or both. (Having said all that, be sure to observe the social distancing and health guidelines at the venue you’ll be visiting.)
Top Coolers to Keep Your Tailgate Drinks Refreshing
Tailgate Canopy
If the weather isn’t cooperating, you’ll need a small canopy tent to deflect the rain at your tailgate. This one from Abba, measuring nine by nine feet, is inexpensive and is claimed to set up quickly.
RTIC 20-Quart Cooler
RTIC makes some seriously heavy-duty coolers, and this one is no joke. With a freezer-grade gasket, beefy T-latches, and up to three inches of insulation, it can keep your beverages ice cold for days. Reviewers say it succeeds at holding up to 36 cans without ice.
NFL Helmet Snack Bowl
This snack helmet features a big bowl on top and two smaller bowls in the face mask, and it comes in a variety of team colors. The trays are removable, microwavable, and dishwasher safe. Perfect for chips and dip or tailgate salsa.
Wilson Football
Throwing around a football before an actual football game is a classic pastime. Maybe you’re inspired by your favorite player—dropping dimes like Mahomes or making snags like Odell outside the stadium. We like this Wilson ball with Super Grip, which is built to official size specs.
Beer Mitten
This mitten keeps your hands warm and your beers cold. They call it a gag gift, but if you’re tailgating at a game in November, the weather can be no joke.
Stadium Seat
Depending on the stadium you’re visiting, the seats might be just cold, hard bleachers. Be prepared with this stadium seat, complete with a mesh cupholder. With a steel frame and polyester-covered padding, it’s designed to be comfortable and durable for even the longest overtime extravaganzas.
Beer Pong Table
This six-foot beer pong table from GoPong folds up to two by two feet and is covered in melamine to resist stains. It comes with Ping-Pong balls, but you’ll need cups and paddles (and beer). Just keep it away from members of the Bills Mafia.
Hooded Rain Poncho
Fall weather can be unpredictable, so a raincoat at a football game is a must-have. We like this waterproof hooded poncho, which protects everything above your knees from the elements.
New Era NFL Hoodie
Rep your favorite team and fight the autumn chill with these licensed hoodies from New Era. There’s a ton of different teams to choose from, and it’s made with a polyester performance fabric to keep it breathable.
Cornhole Set
Cornhole is a tailgating classic, and this kit comes with everything you need. These boards are football themed, but there are a few different styles to choose from if yard lines aren’t your cup of tea. Each board measures three by two feet and comes with eight beanbags and a carrying case.
Football Cutting Board
This football-shaped cutting board is hewn from bamboo and measures 14 inches across. It’ll spice up your game-day hors d’oeuvres and can be wiped with a damp cloth (no dishwasher).
