I'd probably go with one that has wires to connect it to the TV, but that's just me.

Does anybody know how to google anymore?

While I'm sure you chuckled to yourself at your immense humor when typing this response. It is a worth while question to ask since many antennas don't work as well on campus and some insight can be helpful.

I can tell you that we tried both an HD antenna for about $35 and rabbit ear antenna ($16) and we were not able to pick up CBS on either one. ABC and NBC come in fine but not CBS.

Message boards are a great tool for getting reviews of products that are available locally.

The technology has come a long way and there are pretty cheap HD options available at Best Buy and Wally World. Philips makes several models of Indoor/Outdoor antennas that are carried at Wal-Mart for around $20-$60. Make sure that the antenna is compatible with your tv before buying and be prepared to need an AC Adapter for power.

Also this LINK is great for giving you more insight of what hardware you may need or if channels are even available where you tailgate. Don't want to throw your money away.
