Let's talk tailgating
Posted on 9/2/14 at 8:44 pm

We used to have a huge tailgate until about 5 years ago when everyone reached that age of having kids. Now the kids are getting a lil older and we're bringing it back.
Just wondering what everyone was using for their various tailgates. And if there's some new cool gadgets I can add. TV? Music? Generator? Etc
GENERATOR: Just bought a honda eu2000 generator. How much will this actually run? Need it to run TV, box, stereo, fans, maybe a crockpot or 2(those bastards suck up some juice)
TV: 42 with directv dish
MUSIC: Still gonna be using our old arse setup. Wondering what y'all thoughts are on sound systems like those all in one loud speakers?
What about keeping cool? Any ingenious ideas out there?
Just looking to compare notes/experiences

TV with that Tailgate Package/Satellite from Dish and speakers with sound board and AUX cable is all the setup we have at our tailgate along with a few tents, grill, chairs, and tables.
no need to get super complicated. just have enough to keep yourself occupied and well-boozed up...

Yep just more stuff for idiots to steal. I would bring some buckets to pee in when no Porta let's are around. Some air freshener too

IF the wifi improves (or in a good location near buildings) you can use tablets in lieu of satellite. I'd recommend a Roku (or similar). Can get watch ESPN and it's cheaper than a tablet, smaller too so chances of getting stolen are less. Can get various music channels also, including live radio with iHeart radio (for free) for music.

I also have the Honda eu2000. I run....
32 inch led HDTV
DISH Network box
Two of these fans LINK
ION Tailgater speaker
LED lights
Unless you're looking for a huge DJ setup and/or don't like your tailgating neighbors, I really recommend the tailgater speaker. I like the people who tailgate near us, so the single speaker puts out more than enough sound for my little group. I also hook it up to the TV for great sound when people staying behind watch the game. Our group is older and more family orientated, so were not trying to throw a dance party.
Also the fans we use are awesome. You'd be surprised at how much wind those things put out.

Nice setup. What do you do for the toilet situation?

There's a mens and women's restroom with hand washing stations within a 2 minute walk from where I setup.

Just looked at dish network's tailgater that someone else was sayin they had in another thread. There's one that u can buy that is compatible with dish or dtv. That's nice. Hate trying to get a signal on that dish. I did buy a signal meter though.

You can get bluetooth speakers at Frys now. Big ones. No wires at all.

I guess an amp of some kind. You could just send the signal from your phone.
Posted on 9/2/14 at 10:11 pm to Tiger Ryno
No, I mean power power. AC? Battery?you gotta excuse my ignorance. I'm good at buying electronics, not so good at operating them. Especially new shite
Posted on 9/2/14 at 10:12 pm to Schmelly
I would guess they are chargeable.
Posted on 9/2/14 at 10:13 pm to Tiger Ryno
Something like this? LINK
Posted on 9/2/14 at 10:14 pm to Schmelly
Exactly. Plus you get mics. You can do your own broadcast and pump everyone up.
