Aftermarket Truck Wheels and Tailgate Parties

It’s that time of year again, the air is getting crisp, you pull your favorite hoodie from the depths of the coat closet, you buy yet another team jersey and the rivalries begin to heat up; football season is almost here.

But as much a fan you are of the sport, you are way more into the celebration that happens before kickoff each week; we are talking about the tailgate party.

Now, as one of the biggest fans of your team and the sport of football in general, you know just how important the tailgate party is. You know that when you host a tailgate party, the pressure is on to give all who are invited a send-off for the ages.

If you own a truck with aftermarket truck wheels and are seriously considering setting up camp at an upcoming football game and seeing what sort of tailgate party you can throw, keep in mind that the stakes are high, and the steaks better be grilled to perfection. A little play on words there; stake and steak, get it?

Anyway, let’s just say the pressure is on when it comes to hosting a tailgate party and you will want to do what you can to show your parking lot prowess. Luckily, we can help.

Get the Word Out

The last thing you want to have happen when throwing a tailgate party is not to have many, if any, people show up. One way to almost ensure a healthy gathering is by buying tickets for everyone in advance. But if this proves to be too much a financial burden, you must convince people that your tailgate party will be the event not to miss.

Plan Ahead

Tailgate parties are a lot like weddings in the fact they have to be well-planned. The first thing you want to do is check with the venue concerning the rules of tailgating. You will want to make sure you don't break any laws.

You will then want to make a list of all the things you will need to pack for your party. In addition to the obvious stuff like food and beer, you want to make sure you have blankets, paper towels, garbage bags and grilling tools. After all, forgetting a spatula to flip burgers is unforgivable.

Go Above and Beyond

There are a few things that can take your tailgate party to that higher level, and it is up to you to figure out what.

Your tailgate party could reach peak levels of awesomeness because you hired some dude to do stunts dressed as the team mascot. Or perhaps your party cranked it up to 11 when you broke out the pinata shaped like the opposing team's mascot.

Remember Food Safety

Regardless how awesome your tailgate party starts out, you will be left with some bitter enemies should there be an outbreak of food-related illness. To avoid such a disaster, follow proper cooking guidelines and use plenty of hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes.

Decor

As spectacular as your truck may look all decked out with Fuel wheels and chrome accessories, people are there to celebrate a football game, not your truck.

There is no doubt about it, nowadays people celebrate all occasions with a lot of pictures, selfies mainly. Give your party goers plenty of fodder for photo opportunities with great decor. Spruce up your truck with banners, team colors and even consider a cool tattoo.

Portable Media

Make sure you have a television or radio set up so everyone can indulge in other games being played around the league.

Continue the Party After the Game

Forget about dashing back to your truck after the game only to get stuck in gridlock. Tell the group there will be food and fun available after the game. This way, everyone gets to eat again and enjoy clear roads on the way home.

The after game party can be just as fun as it gives you a chance to talk about the great plays and bad calls while all the other fans sit in traffic. Bask in the glory of a victory or sob on each other’s shoulders in defeat, the after-game party is just as important as the tailgate party before the game.
