10 Awesome Tailgating Gadgets

— September 3, 2008 — Lifestyle
The great American sport is in season! No, not Football, tailgating. Pre-season is over, college and pro football games are underway, and the tailgating time has arrived.

More time and energy is spent on most tailgating parties than wedding receptions, if you consider that tailgating goes on for months.

From grills that are attached to the tailgate to grills that are hauled behind the tailgate, a man is judged not by the quality of his character, but by the quality of his tailgating ability.
Trend Themes
1. Tailgating Technology - Tailgating parties are becoming more high-tech with the introduction of innovative gadgets such as portable grills and coolers, Bluetooth speakers, and mobile charging stations.
2. Sustainable Tailgating - Increasingly eco-conscious consumers are seeking alternatives to traditional tailgating practices, creating opportunities for companies to innovate with reusable utensils, biodegradable plates and cups, and solar-powered equipment.
3. Virtual Tailgating - With social distancing norms disrupting traditional tailgating gatherings, there is potential for companies to create virtual experiences that connect fans with their favorite teams and each other.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The incorporation of technology in tailgating experiences presents opportunities for companies to develop consumer electronics products like Bluetooth speakers, mobile charging stations, and portable grills.
2. Sustainability - As environmentally conscious consumers shift towards eco-friendly tailgating practices, companies in the sustainability industry can capitalize on the trend by creating reusable utensils, biodegradable plates and cups, and solar-powered equipment.
3. Sports Entertainment - The rise of virtual tailgating presents opportunities for sports entertainment companies to create virtual fan experiences that connect sports fans and bring them closer to their favorite teams through immersive technologies like VR and AR.
