Get ready for game day: Shop 16 tailgating essentials for the ultimate fan experience

The tailgate is just as much a part of the gaming experience as the action on the field!

There are a handful of great tailgating essentials that can improve your setup, and Lifestyle contributor Lori Bergamotto helps round them out.

Start heating up the fun with a Cuisinart portable grill for grilling burgers and hot dogs. Don't forget to provide a cooler filled with drinks to keep everyone refreshed.

A folding table with your favorite team's logo and a pop-up canopy to provide comfort and shade while you enjoy the pre-game fun are a must.

With these important things, your tailgate will be a complete success! Also, be sure to purchase a selection from our “GMA” set that will also bring your team spirit to life.
