Coozie Coolers - Keep Those Drinks Cool!

We've all had it happen...  We get a frosty cold beverage out of the cooler, and get side tracked, and the drink gets warm.  Nothing worse than a warm drink!

Enter the Coozie Cooler.  This brilliant device is a small ice pack the shape of the bottom of a can, and sits in the bottom of your Coozie, keeping things cold while you tend to tailgating games, the grill, or whatever else needs attention.

They are cheap enough to keep a few in the cooler, so when you get a new drink, you can swap out for a new Coozie Cooler.

Rawlings Inks Multi-Year Deal with NFL for Tailgating Products

Rawlings Sporting Goods® is reporting that they’ve signed an exclusive multi-year deal with the National Football League for NFL-branded tailgating products, including tent canopies, grills, and chairs.

This will basically consolidate the NFL’s tailgate rights landscape under such quality brands such as Coleman®, Rawlings®, Bicycle® and Shakespeare®. The new tailgate collection, which in addition to canopies, grills and chairs will include a number of non-exclusive tailgate products, including coolers, stadium seats and footballs, will merchandise under the new TLG8™ brand umbrella and its “Real Brands for Real Fans™” tagline. The collection is set to launch April 2011, aimed at creating a “one-stop shop” for all NFL tailgating needs.

Although this could be a great thing for tailgaters, it could potential put an end to many Ma and Pa tailgating shops. I guess we’ll have to see how it all plays out when the deal kicks into play in 2011.

The All-In-One Cooler Chair

GO! Chassi Grill N Chill with On-Board Stereo

The GO! Grill N Chill System allows you to bring a full-sized infrared grill right to your tailgate spot. For those of you unfamiliar with infrared grilling, here is a little lesson. In a gas grill, the cooking surface of the grill is heated by a direct flame, whereas in an infrared grill, the fuel source heats up the infrared element, which in turn transfers infrared radiation for cooking foods. I have to be honest that I was a bit skeptical until I gave it a go, and it is my preferred way to grill when time doesn’t allow for charcoal.

Aside from the grill, the GO! Grill N Chill System features a 210-watt on-board marine stereo. The sound system comes equipped with dual marine grade speakers, CD player and is satellite radio ready. The professional grade stainless steel 50 quart ice chests are outfitted with integrated drain systems and dual butcher block lids that double as prep surfaces. They are prepared to carry both hot and cold food stores depending on your needs.

With the Grill N Chill mounted to the GO! Chassi, and its patented Hitch and GO! Design, units are easily attached to a vehicle using the hand cranked scissor lift. When attached, the entire weight is transferred to the hitch, safely suspending the GO! Chassi and its payload above the road surface.

If you think this is the grill for you, get ready to disk out about 3K on this lovely piece of tailgating beauty. You can check out more information at their website.

Portable Party Fridge Ups the Tailgate Ante

In most cases, a Styrofoam cooler and a bag of ice usually does the trick while tailgating. However, if you have been down in the South during those late August days, you know what that humidity can do to your beautiful set-up cooler. If you are serious enough to not sleep the night before a game just to be able to get your favorite spot, you should be toting around the Portable Party Fridge. For starters, the fridge comes nicely decorated with your favorite team’s logo in a beautiful vinyl wrap, and best of all, it plugs into your standard 12V vehicle outlet. The fridge sports 15 quarts of cooling space, holding up to twenty-four 12-ounce cans. Say no to melting ice and soggy meat. This bad ass fridge carries a price tag well into the $200’s at most vendors, but you’re a serious tailgater, aren’t you?

Timbuk2's Dolores Chiller - The Perfect Bag for Tailgate Nomads

We consider there to be two types of tailgaters on the lots during game days. There are campers, and then there are nomads. Campers are tailgaters who bring all necessary items for a proper tailgate, and set up camp with their grill, tent, music, games, and any other items to ensure the proper tailgating environment.

Drive Thru Beer Run with Speedy Cooler

Here is a great way to tackle rough terrain when tailgating miles from the stadium for those big games. Plus, it doesn't hurt to show off during the tailgate party with a few doughnuts. This got me thinking about what it would take to modify a Cruzin' Cooler into a mini-monster truck.
